Identity Crisis

Journalist Seanna Adcox wrote for The Associated Press 14 April 2016:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transgender people said Thursday they fear a South Carolina bill that would require them to use the public bathroom for their biological sex will stoke misguided fears and endorse restroom vigilantism, even if the bill ultimately dies as expected. Opponents told a Senate panel the unenforceable measure perpetuates myths against an already-ostracized community, while supporters contend it's about protecting the privacy and safety of women and children.

...Transgender people say the bill's requirement would put them in danger of harassment and violence, as they would clearly look out of place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

article

If a transgender person is uncomfortable with dressing up as something they are not, perpetrating a fraud upon the public, then maybe they should seek out a hypnotherapist to delve deep into their subconscious to find out why they persist in perpetrating this fraud with the goal of realizing their true identity.

I WANT SOMEBODY TO TALK TO ME!

There there, that's perfectly reasonable, no reason to get upset.


It's part of being human: wanting to communicate with people, connecting with others, being social.
Don't beat yourself up for feeling that way.

Anything you want to talk about in particular?

We talked about a road trip with a trans friend to FL down the 95. We decided no stopping in NC due to hate bills there; now if this passes gotta hold it through both Carolinas from the VA line to the GA line.

Or you could look at it as a good opportunity to piss on NC.

Is this the tranny thread?

Caitlin Jenner (aka Bruce Jenner) is a 65 year old nutjob.

97% certain she/he is never going remove her/his penis. Jenner’s transgender congruence stops there.

Jenner’s always going to be a cross dresser with facial reconstruction & breast implants.

He should have pled temporary insanity. Imagine, you're a guy, thinking you are making out with a woman who is responding so nicely, and then finding out it is another guy. Some guys would go berserk. Hard to tell just what someone would do when they lose their mind for a few moments...

Because GA and FL are so awesome when it comes to LGBT rights.

You'd be better off not peeing in those two places either.

Why is nobody protesting the University of Toronto that has also banned gender-neutral bathrooms?
