What about Seattle, a man used the woman's locker room at the public pool, the woman called police.
Apparently he was allowed to stay, but not sure how many women will continue to bring their daughters to that public swimming pool.

Most people who've shared a rest room or locker room with a trans person don't know that they did.

I don't know how many mothers will continue to bring their daughters to that public swimming pool. By the way, which pool was this and where was this incident reported, citations please. Personally, I don't care. Doesn't bother me at all. I generally don't go to public swimming pools. Primarily because of all the kids, so the fewer of them the better. Though I have to say the girls are generally better behaved and less annoying. Maybe that's no longer the case, I haven't been to a public pool in ages. I do go to my gym and swim. They don't allow anyone under 17 in the pool, but I guess kids are allowed elsewhere and so also in the dressing rooms. So far they've not been too much of a disturbance. Some of the young adults are annoying but so are some of the seniors.

Why do so many trannies and fags commit suicide?
Suicide rates General population.................................4.6% Fags/queers...........................................2 0.0% Trannies.......................................... ......41% Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 "If we want to end the scourge of suicide, it’s time we stop trying to fix transgender people. It’s time to fix society." article Now, how dumb is that! Might as well let all the incarcerated out of prison and fix society because there will always be criminals and society should just get used to it. |

Leading advocate would be exactly the President of a group that originally proposed an ordinance regrading the issue.

If Jenner's unhappiness is alleviated, and she is content without having to remove parts, then fine. If she is happy and finds satisfaction being able to present publicly as female, then it's pretty much nobody's business what dangly bits are under her skirt.

Well, I think when Jerome or another extremist posts stuff like that it's never completely clear whether they (1) believe the bullshit they post, or (2) know it's bullshit but post it as a means of manipulation. I suspect most times the answer in in a matter of degrees of both/and rather than either/or.
Those who are emotionally invested in transphobia and enforcement of binary gender roles often don't know what's going on with themselves when they do things like this. Joe Baegant mentioned a local leader of the plutocracy in his town in Virginia in his book Deer Hunting With Jesus who told people all the time that NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) wrote the Democratic Party platform. Same shit, different day.

From The American College of Pediatricians 21 March 2016:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. ...A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such. ...Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- article |

LOL. Quoting the ACP on anything is like quoting ICR or AIG on science. They pull exactly the same crap. In their case, rather than religious apologetics it's to give a pseudo-scientific fig leaf to anti-gay organizations and helping right-wing loons lobby and provide useless amicus briefs.
thatsneakyguy missed the best part of the Wiki, a description by their founding turd. :
These idiots are are like every other sham outfit claiming to go "where the evidence leads" but they reject comprehensive sex education and promote abstinence only bullshit. You don't have to be a MD or PhD to figure out abstinence only is colossal failure. Simple statistics show this and just about anyone who cares to can easily demonstrate this for themselves by pulling up easily obtainable state records. If they refuse to acknowledge something as basic as this why would you listen to anything else they have to say? "Where the evidence leads" my ass. Of course, since they are a policy/lobbying group and not any sort of association that actually produces original research or objective medical science, this comes as no surprise to anyone. Ideology trumps everything with these bozos. But hey, just about everyone here already knows all this. I'm just fucking bored enough to waste my time typing it out in this shite thread. |
