 mean that you are ****ing clueless? First child raped by someone abusing this is on you. We will surely point out your post..... Are you so ****ing liberal that you ****ing can't stand that someone can't go to a public rest room appropriated for those with the JUNK that they currently have. Hey let's go to the restroom we "Identify With". What a ****ing joke. If you for one second don't think this will be abused then you need to get your liberal head out of your fat ass. I think a lot of people around here would say I have a very liberal bias. This is beyond ****ing liberal it is dangerously so. But when something happens ****ing clowns will say the didn't see that coming.

Apologize for totally losing my mind on this but it hits home. Someone tried to abuse me when I was 8. Fortunately his sister walked into the house and it gave me enough time to get the **** out of there. This was at a time when no one talked about such stuff and I said nothing because
1. The kid 6 years older would have beaten my ass 2. My dad would have beaten my ass for being with this guy. 3. No questions asked my dad would have killed him and probably his father. Any of the above wasn't a good scenario for me so I kept my mouth closed. I lose it when people show no regard for people who abuse children.

So, please, disagree if you must, but can we not get into personal insults, gibes, thinking someone else cannot understand where you are coming from? Because i do. I just look at the subject differently.

Whoa. That escalated quickly.
JMS I'm so sorry you were sexually threatened when you were young, and Danzig I'm so sorry you were molested by a relative. Abuse against kids is one of the things that makes me wish I believed in hell. Allowing transgender men and women into the bathroom that most closely correlates with how they identify isn't going to lead to an increase in violence against children. Men (because let's be honest, most sexual predators are men) aren't going to pose as transgender to get into a bathroom to assault a child or woman; if they see a woman or child enter a bathroom alone they'll seize the opportunity because she's alone, and the fact that there's a drawing of a woman on the door isn't going to stop them. I mean, what, a man is going to walk into a woman's rest room with five or six women in there, start to assault a woman and the other women in there are just going to stand around and say, "Oh, well, this person said they were transgender so it's okay"? Come on. Truth is, transgender men and women are far more likely to be the victims of violence that the perpetrators. I have an acquaintance who is female-to-male transgender, and believe me, if he walked into a women's rest room the women would scream and shout at him to get out. Because he looks male. He has a full beard, for chrissakes. And people are going to say he should be using the women's room because of anatomy that no one is going to see because he's going to use a stall? Come on. The fear-mongering that is going on about this, as this article points out, is woefully short of any images of actual transgender people. http://www.attn.com/stories/4080/tra...bathroom-panic Ultimately, unisex restrooms would probably be best, since there's no evidence that gendered restrooms protect women any better than unisex ones do (again, a sexual predator is not going to be deterred by a sign on the door if a woman is in there alone), but I think Bible thumpers would freak out about that, too.

Bruce Springsteen pulls out of North Carolina concert
http://www.theguardian.com/music/201...rimination-law "In any case, by the time Bruce finally consents to play in North Carolina, Born to Run will surely have undergone one hell of a re-write: We gotta get out while we’re young ‘Cause tramps like us, baby we were born respectively as a cis gender male assigned male at birth and a cis female assigned female at birth although obviously that entire binary concept supports outmoded privilege structures that do not recognise the legitimacy of sexuality’s fluid reality which should allow people to wander into any toilet they please based on how they identify at that precise moment in time.

Because, you know, there are more Senators that have been caught doing illegal things in bathrooms than transgender people. The arrest record for transgender folk assaulting women and/or kids in bathrooms currently stands at, I believe, zero.
Let's take a look at an actual sexual predator, shall we?

I do know a young man who was convinced that his equipment was wrong. He convinced his parents, who were well to do, and they paid for his change. Fast forward six years: he is dating a woman and wants to change back. Best of luck to him. Actually, I "spouted off" no assumptions. Re-read my post if you doubt me. I was a fan of Springsteen in the old days. Born to Run (the album) was the height of his work, imo. Now . . . he's just a political belief system, and you're either with him or agin him. And he's taking his guitar his working class schtick and going home. I don't care. I didn't have tickets, and wouldn't go to see him now under any circumstances. And I'm sure that's fine by him.
