Metahysics of the Men's Room
The American Conservative ^ | 22 April 2016 | Rod Dreher

...

It’s kind of astonishing, actually, how quickly what was considered unspeakably radical the day before yesterday becomes normalized the next day, and today, any opposition to it is treated as if it could only come from irrational animus. The Law of Merited Impossibility is getting to be as uncontestable as Newton’s the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The LMI is defined thus

The Law Of Merited Impossibility is an epistemological construct governing the paradoxical way overclass opinion makers frame the discourse about the clash between religious liberty and LGBT civil rights. It is best summed up by the phrase, “It’s a complete absurdity to believe that traditional Christians and other conservatives will suffer a single thing from the expansion of LGBT rights, and boy, do they deserve what they’re going to get."

It’s like the Moore’s Law of the Immorality: about every two years, the amount of perversion and immorality we are exposed to as a society doubles. Lately, it feels more like six months.

Brilliant!!!!

“Do not let the Krauthammers dismiss your concerns, and don’t let the progressivist bullies make you think that you are insane or wicked for having them. There’s a very great deal at stake here. We are talking about the disintegration of the Western mind.”

Krauthammer vacillates from the incredibly intelligent to the unbelievably obtuse.

Ok you make the law XYs are banned from XX bathrooms. How do you identify the XYs dressed as XXs? Then, once they are identified in the wrong bathroom, who reports it? And who is it reported to? Then when that entity comes how do they identify the alleged XY to be in the XX bathroom as an XY??

If an XY dressed as an XX goes in the XY bathroom you have another set of problems.

As long as XYs aren’t peeing in sinks in the XX bathroom or XXs aren’t sitting in the urinals in XY bathrooms how does anyone know??

All this crap is unenforceable. One purpose is to roast the a$$ of any normal person who dares to say something critical of this idiocy. Another purpose is to extract reams of money from businesses owning bathrooms.

That's a pretty exhausting defense of your support for males in female restrooms.

I've never heard so much nonsense from a so-called Conservative.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to do those things? Are you some sort of Neanderthal bigot or something?

Not that. It’s questions for any who would ban XYs from XX bathrooms. How do you enforce a ban?? I note that you did not answer any of the questions. It’s so easy to suggest a ban or law without explaining in coherent terms who to carry out the ban or law.

So, again, how would the ban or law be enforced??

As the article goes to great pains to explain ... this is not about that.

“your support for males in female restrooms.”

Typical strawman logical fallacy used to avoid answering the questions.

“Krauthammer vacillates from the incredibly intelligent to the unbelievably obtuse.”

Krauthammer is always intelligent, but he occasionally forgets how creatively perverse and petty the left can be. The Kraut is correct that there was no epidemic of transgender people being denied entrance to (any type of) bathrooms; what didn't occur to the reasonable Kraut is that the unreasonable left would contrive such denial, and, in anticipation of such denial, start pressuring stores, schools, etc. to allow entrance into bathrooms of every type of person into every type of bathroom.
