Unconvincing – in fact rather juvenile. Full of strawmen and false alternatives.
First of all, why do only “transgender” people get the “right” to use whatever restroom they want? Why do they get a privilege the rest of us don’t. Fourteenth amendment anyone?
The author ignores the simplest solution – no gender designation of rest rooms at all. Why not a free-for-all? I mean he’s all about freedom right? What is freer than that? Anyone who disagrees is against freedom – by this author’s lights.
(No true Scotsman much?)
The author seems to think that only “transgender” people suffer. What about those who don’t want to share a bathroom with someone of the opposite sex. Why is their suffering given no concern? Do they feel less than “transgender” people?
As for the guns “argument”: because guns are an enumerated right not one created out of thin air.
I could go on but I won’t.
Yes, but I would suffer if I had to use the same bathroom as a Cat. It would reek of digested tuna and catnip pee. Plus the floor is all covered with little pebbles and nobody flushes. And, there’s no toilet paper. I could go on, but I won’t.
(I agree with your post, DamnCat – but I’m practicing to be a cataran who, of course, is also a contrarian)
I could on too – on your garden, that is.
Bring it – and stay for pizza and beers. Well, ale. Come on.
I don’t think anyone cares about ‘restrooms’. The real debate is when it comes to changing rooms and lockers rooms. Common sense says, ‘If you need to expose your junk, use the room where you have the same junk as everyone else.’
