Colleges are where some of the kookiest things come up and get validated. Today a college is retracting a form they makes sexual assault victims shut up about it.

Just wanted to throw that into the fire because I think it shows how twisted things can get. The percentage of transgenders is mighty small and if they are not doing a good job of convincing me they are on sex they do not deserve a different bathroom. Meaning shave that beard if you want me to believe you are a chick. I know some of them like to sit in the middle,can never win with this movement!
Was not long ago they thought drivers licenses where degrading because you had to choose a sex. Call me old fashioned but I still feel this is a mental health issue and does not relate to homosexuality. Two different topics for me,maybe I am a dinosaur.

The point is not that it will prevent these things, but having the laws on the books would make it more risky for school administrators for example to stop creepers from trying over and over for fear of being cast as being discriminatory or being sued.


In a school situation there's not going to be many trans people out, maybe 3 or 4 in the whole school.  Somebody that doesn't identify as trans goes in the other bathroom, give 'em hell.  We could even go as far as to make it illegal to go in the other bathroom without a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a psych.  Carry a little card around showing you've been diagnosed and it's not a part time gig.

There has to be a compromise somewhere in here..

My personal opinion is to simply relax the rules set.  Meaning we don't need jail time for people that go into the opposite sex bathroom, and we don't need high school suspensions for it.

But we don't need a whole boatload of increasingly complex law and regulation either, we need less of it.  So why not just fire all those people who think their job is to make up rules about this stuff all day long?

Legislation in one direction is as bad as legislation in another.  If you think you can figure out "better, fairer law" you have been conned, my friend.
We're on the same side here, I dislike the idea of any new legislation.  Things were just fine when you quietly went in and out of your identified bathroom and maybe got a few weird looks.  Now that all the media attention is on the new law people are a lot more trigger happy to do something about it.

However, anything is better than getting arrested and put on the same list as someone stripping in public for going to pee.
Thirty or fifty years ago a cop would never have dreamed of arresting a kid that took a leak in a dark corner of a street.  Today they do and will.

That tells you something.  Worth thinking about.

To be fair, I don't believe the issue in NC has anything to do with where a tranny takes a piss

That is simply a red-herring used to pass sweeping legislation during and "emergency session"... ground-breaking legislation which passed in under 24 hours...


Everyone keeps ignoring the elephant in the room!

Basically, this is about city/local rights vs state rights... its similar to what caused the civil war!

The civil war was fought over whether states had the right to make laws which disagreed with federal laws... this is the same exact situation... this is whether cities have the right to make laws which disagree with state laws... same thing on a small scale... yet swept under the rug as if it is legislation protecting women's right to privacy... its a red-herring
