Allowing male transgenders to use women's bathrooms may be the worst idea I have ever heard of in my life. According to this article, only 0.3% of Americans are transgender:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_United_States
0.3%...and because of this, liberals are advocating scrapping a system for the other 99.7% of the population that has been in existence for more than 200 years. There must have been reasons that Americans felt were valid for having separate restrooms for men & women during all this time, or we would all have just been going to the same restroom for the last 200 years.
In effect, those who support this insanity are advocating that we provide a new "right"...which isn't even necessary...for 0.3% of the people by infringing upon the rights of 99.7% of the people. I don't doubt that the true transgender feels like a female.....but anatomically, especially to underage girls.....he is still a male. These children should not be forced to be exposed to male genitals at these ages just because a transgender wants to choose to go to the girls' restroom. You say that those girls wouldn't be exposed to that if the transgender used a closed stall. Well, if that's the case, why couldn't that transgender use a similar closed stall in the men's restroom? There is simply no reason...urgent or otherwise...for making a change in the law like this to accommodate 0.3% of the people by infringing upon the right to sexual privacy for 99.7% of the people.
And the inevitability of future negative consequences from something like this is that once it is established that transgender males can use women's restrooms, there will be no way to monitor the situation to prevent abuses by voyeurs or, worse, pedophiles, who are motivated by prurient reasons. Women and children will be at risk....not from transgenders but from men posing as transgenders, because that will be an easy thing to do....and even aside from potential physical risk they will be subjected to loss of privacy. All because some liberals want to change laws & customs that have been in place thruout the entire history of this country....just so that 0.3% of the people can use a closed stall in the girls' bathroom instead of a closed stall in the men's bathroom.
I think that I am more enraged by this complete lack of common sense & reason than by any other thing that the Democratic Party has advocated in my lifetime.....which is why I have changed my registration and don't know when or if I will ever vote for another Democrat. The idea that liberals are willing to abrogate rights for 99.7% of the people in order to create an accommodation that isn't even necessary for 0.3% of the people astounds me. They piously claim to have such compassion (liberals are always the caring, compassionate people, you know) for this 0.3% of the population....but they have no concern whatsoever for that other 99.7% of the population.
If something like this was necessary it might be different (though it would still be hard to justify giving a right to 0.3% of the people that required taking away a right from 99.7% of the people).....but it's not necessary. It's just something that hypocritical liberals are wanting to do so that they can make themselves feel that they are morally superior to others.
