In the US this perverted idea of “blood and soil” over “constitutional principles” is the most radical and anti-democratic and anti-Conservative idea I have heard in my lifetime.

Thank you McMike,,so many of the posters here are showing their own vices or interests,. Some out of ignorance perhaps, some out of who knows what. To compare a deviant transgender ( how many? show me)to the gun nuts killing off your people! WTF!!! As for pile, I wouldn't know his response as he has been on ignore since his second response on this forum... There must really be some bad stuff in some of your water!
I was expecting "How many trans gendered males, identifying as female does it take to change a lightbulb?"

Us older folks may remember the hard time lefties used to have. Eventually it became accepted that people are born left-handed. Don't know why we cannot accept that left-handedness is not the only outside the norm people can be born with.
Tell me this is not driven by religion, rather than politics.
"Banning books in spite of the 1st amendment, but refusing to regulate guns in spite of "well regulated militia' being in the 2nd amendment makes no sense. Can't think of anyone ever shot by a book
Last even at happy hour I shared "the old goats table" for drinks with a Trans-woman who before her procedure was a pro-am prize fighter. She is now a school teacher at a public elementary school.
She is a funny lady with a good heart.
I bet that blows some folks minds. Everything I have typed in this post is the truth.

Okay, it's not driven by religion. It is driven by the most craven politicians who are looking for a wedge issue and this is the perfect issue. There are very few people who are directly affected, so therefore there are only a few votes lost, while many people will have an unthinking response that supports the position.
Yes, it is the worst kind of politics.
Why would it surprise anyone? I only have one former student who is transgen and I still work with her. She's compassionate, good natured, and utterly harmless to anyone. In other words, she is like most transgen individuals.

I mean, that's great . . . but why TF do you feel the need to validate being trans with supporting qualities? Your Trans friend is a human being who is expressing her true self as she sees fit. It's like saying, "hey, Skip is gay, but he's a really great guy" . . . . As if you need a buff, to soften the fact that your gay. You're a free human and deserve respect . . . period. So does she, regardless of the fact that she's trans, a pro-am fighter, or a teacher.
. . . oh hey, I have a black friend who's not a criminal . . . . JFC . . . . we need to grow up as a country.

Why not bathrooms with stall doors that provide the necessary privacy to be used by everyone of both genders? Seems to me the only drawback would be for men. Now we don’t have to deal with the huge lines at women’s bathrooms. If we were all using the same ones, we’d be stuck in the lines with them.

^ I hope that every politician that votes for this is required to face the cost and account for themselves.

That might actually be kind of fun! Kind of like meeting in the produce aisle.Now we don’t have to deal with the huge lines at women’s bathrooms. If we were all using the same ones, we’d be stuck in the lines with them.
I think Skip is just pointing out his experience to the rest of us, who, no matter what our attitude might be, may not have his opportunity to meet such people. Especially these days, when it seems there are forces trying to scare them back into hiding.
The more I think about this nonsense and this obscene overreach by politicians who are doing nothing more than attacking transgens, I think that unisex bathrooms are the answer. I will admit that a unisex works better when it is large - a little 1-on-1 in the bathroom may make some people uncomfortable. However, most restaurants now have single-person bathrooms and all that is needed would be to change the sign.
