What is really the most disruptive? Letting them use the restroom that fits their lived identity or the one on their birth certificate? Because that’s the seedy underside of this debacle: to require the latter will bring more upheaval than we now imagine. So, take a look again at those photos and tell me… When your son uses the restroom, would he be traumatized, upset, uncomfortable seeing any of these woman in the same restroom? Yeah, I think so. The truth is that when a transgender person goes into a public restroom, THEY are the most vulnerable person in the room, subject to harassment and attack-the stats bear that out.Īnd the ones who may not be able to pass as easily as the women in the photos are in increased danger and in even more need of protection. Who really needs protecting? The one who says “ick”? So an entire group of people is being marginalized and oppressed and discriminated against, simply because we disagree with them, or just plain do not like them. We have been through this before with left-handed people, women, blacks, interracial marriage. Those who stir up fear pretend it’s about the children when it’s really about fear, and power, and personal dislike of trans people. We have been going to bathrooms with transgender people for as long as we have been alive. Most predators are straight men who already have arranged their lives for easy access to children. Honestly, they should be ashamed of themselves.Īnyone who takes an authentic look at this knows there is no connection whatever between transgender people and pedophilia.
