The Bathroom 'Freedom Fighters'

The Bathroom 'Freedom Fighters'


The most excitable cultural leftists at exotic publications like The New York Times argue that the rarest of rare exemplars of gender confusion having the liberty to use the wrong restroom is a human right on par with those who suffered lynching or racial segregation. This epidemic of "discrimination" — making those assigned a penis at birth [should be conception] use the men's room —is apparently everywhere. Outside the most liberal cities, it is supported by a large number of Americans.

On this issue, Springsteen is at his most ridiculous: "Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. ... Some things are more important than a rock show, and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them."

Go to Dallas or Pittsburgh or Memphis or Detroit and read that quote to people. They will burst out laughing. But go to New York City and watch some saddle up their horses.

The media in Manhattan are lionizing Springsteen for being a gender identity guerrilla. ABC's sappy Steve Osunsami reported: "Bruce Springsteen, the rock legend who honors veterans and stands up for heroes, is refunding concert tickets today in protest of the new North Carolina law that rolls back protections for gay families and stops transgender residents from using the bathrooms they need."

See, like "assault weapon" this is the palguage driving the narrative. They "need" a bathroom that they can enter, take care of business and leave. They want one that makes them feel a certain way.

To me it is simply amazing that so many idiots believe that a man should have the right to go into the ladies room, because he wishes he was a woman.
It's time people with common sense took back America from these crazed liberal a-wipes.

 

[GoodnessME]

AND now they will know how it is to WAIT.....The lines are already way to long and now we are going to add to the wait....they might just go BACK to their on toilet!!!!

That is not "just" what the law did ,if you keep reading you will see that it also rolled back protection for "gay" families many who feel the same way about transgender people and bathrooms as you do.

Stop calling them transgenders and call them mentally ill. That's the fact.

I have nothing against the mentally ill -------until we start catering to them as though they are right.

 

[GregV814]

wait wait wait....there are fewer terlits in a womens bathroom (no urinals) so why would a giddy man-girl want to wait in line longer????? this is aside from the obvious mental disorder of being a queen....

What is your problem with transgenders?

Did one rub you the wrong way? Leave a bad taste in your mouth?

Religious Freedom Rights have been federal and state laws for some time now. Can anyone demonstrate a time when RFRA-based legislative restrictions on government have ever resulted successfully in a homosexual or cross-dresser's rights being denied or restricted.

As usual your post is merely insulting without any merit.

My problem with them is that they seem to have no respect for the rest of us, while demanding that we respect them. Not all, of course, but these aholes who are being highlighted in the media aren't doing the whole group any favors.

If a transgendered person used a toilet not appropriate to their sex, it's unlikely you'd know about it until they make a stink (wait...ha!) and big deal. Like most things the media harps on, you wouldn't even know it was happening - no harm, no foul. It's the ones who presumably waltz in and announce that they are a man with an intact penis and they will be using your ladies room so suck it bitches that are causing the problem. And I say "presumably" because even though I believe it's rare, it must be happening somewhere or it wouldn't be a topic of debate.

Transgendered people aren't the problem; militant activists are the problem.

that has always been my issue with the gay rights movement ..... in your face bull

attending a catholic mass, only to disrupt services and desecrate the proceedings, because they are intolerant of a religious choice

And the truth is that most gay people are pretty low key and don't really give a damn about you. Unfortunately, because they are a minority and outside the norm, each person belonging to that group is an ambassador. So there could be 20 boring gay people living their lives, but if one of them rants about their "rights" and starts making unreasonable demands, they all get tarred with that brush.

My neighbor is gay, Nice guy. His preference doesn't bother me. But he is also a Hillary supporter. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYUK

somehow i doubt that happens much if at all. More likely some twit sees a manly looking person in the ladies room and freaks out about it. The other possibitly would be a work situation where a person has tranisitiooned and everyone knows. When that person makes the switch i am sure some people will be uncomfortable about it.

Private actors (to include businesses) should have the right to discriminate on whatever bases they see fit to.

That said, these kinds of state level laws are already legally iffy. More pragmatically though I would say these last-ditch efforts to hold back the tide of widespread societal acceptance of homosexuality (and bisexuality and transgenderism and whatnot) are probably going to backfire in this way: They are going to force the issue to the Supreme Court in a way and at a time that makes it likely that a protected classification gets recognized relating to sexuality and sexual identity along the lines that such classifications are recognized as relates to, e.g., race and sex. Up to this point the Supreme Court has avoided clearly identifying a protected classification for sexuality or sexual identity. But I think the Court's hand is soon going to be forced on that issue and I think the composition of the Court will be unfavorable for conservatives when it is. (When I suggest that these kinds of laws are going to backfire, I should qualify that. It might not really be fairly considered backfiring as I suspect these laws are mostly motivated by political considerations rather than ideological goals.)

Yeah, from a practical standpoint prohibiting transgenders from using bathrooms based on which sex they identify with is more likely to cause angst and commotions or whatever than allowing them to do so would or does or has. Prohibiting it might, e.g., force people that most recognize as men (and who live their lives and dress as men) to use women's bathrooms. And that's what is more likely to get noticed and responded to.

Of course in any case you can (and will) have people trying to make points and going out of their way to get noticed or make scenes. I wouldn't think that would represent most cases, but it's sure to happen sometimes.

Everyone judges everyone on the fringes though, so it's not exactly an unrecognizable pattern.

But he is also a Hillary supporter.

He should be judged, mocked, and derided for this, not because he's gay.
