    I think that’s more likely if you force them to stop being who they believe they are.

    If you are a sexual minority, like a transgender person, you need to use your brains. Some acts just aren’t safe. If you are a female, you don’t go charging into every men’s room you see. You are looking for trouble on two counts. First you are a female in a vulnerable situation. Second, if there are intolerant men there, you stand the risk of getting assaulted simply because you are transgender. All the progressive bloviating in the world is going to help you if you get your head bashed in.

    I have known men who told me they would beat crap out any gay man who approached them. I took them at their word. They looked like they met business.

    As long as the product is being used at the convenience of the people at the school who menstruate, I don't really have a logical reason to call this an issue. As for the idea that the students and teachers need to buy their own tampons, do we apply the same logic for toilet paper, or is it just tissue products for menstruating that's a problem?


    Seeking guidance from a mental health expert is not an illogical course of action, but I don't think you would be one to agree with what mental health experts have to say on the matter.

    It met a great deal to the father whose daughter was attacked by a “trans boy,” who was wearing a skirt, in the girls’ bathroom. The trans fraud boy was transferred to another school where he did it again.

    It won't be long until the "furries" start demanding equal treatment. Why should they be discriminated against?

    And school officials were complicit in covering it up.

    This makes no sense. If anything the getting picked on and being disrespected would make them want to avoid using the opposite sex bathroom. Yet you think that if they were accepted, not disrespected, they'd not want to stop using the bathroom of the opposite sex? With your use of the word "facade" I'm guessing that you are talking only about those that are pretending to be trans for attention. Know that they're not really trans. I'm going to base the next part of my response on that, starting with the assumption that you are somehow correct.

    The problem with this stance is it reinforces the belief that they are trans, when they're not really. There is a group who are so unhappy with their life that they truly think "hey, maybe this is why I'm not happy, I'm trans!". And then all the doctors and psychologists reinforce that belief even further. They don't dare do otherwise (IE: question it) or it might make the news and then their lives are ruined. Then we end up with situations like the one that I linked to earlier and I'll link here again: LINK: Detransitioned teens explain why they regret changing genders (nypost.com) And it is these people that will continue to want to use the bathroom of the opposite sex. Not because of a facade in order to get attention. But because of a facade that they are fooling themselves with and by continuing to use the opposite sex bathroom they are reinforcing that facade for themselves. Its analgous to people who lie about something, initially knowing its a lie, but they keep repeating it so much to others and themselves that they start believing the lie themselves as if its a truth, not a lie. This is dangerous and causes harm. So, even if you are correct that acceptance would stop those that are just using it as a facade, knowing its a facade, its not doing any actual help as the real danger still exists.

    Its interesting how you start out about talking about "not from those who speak for them" IE: people that are not trans but speaking on behalf of them, but then turn right around and act as if its only .6% of Americans speaking out. Those .6 being trans people.

    In either case lets put something to rest, I don't care who is doing the speaking, or how loud it is, or isn't. What I do care about is the policies being put into place. And those policies being put forth, or enacted, are a detriment in many varying ways starting from the individual, to society as a whole. All for .6% of people in the US.

    No, you (not me) said the people who speak for them are the trans people themselves.

    You feel threatened by them, or a tampon box in a bathroom, and I don't. That's all. My point was that the 0.6% of the population shouldn't be such a huge deal, but obviously it is to those who are triggered by them. I have a feeling they won't be such a big deal after the elections.

    I said THEY probably don't see it a safety issue, but clearly you do. As for your gay-beating friends (or whoever they are)..... how can gays remain safe from such people? By using the ladies room? Isn't that the big no-no here. We have uni-sex bathrooms down here in Florida. Maybe that's the solution. The problem is that uni-sex usually means, there is only bathroom for everyone.

    I see the confusion. When I say "transgenders" please consider the context. I'm not always talking exclusively about transgenders, but also those that support them but are not transgenders.

    This is nothing more than assumption on your part. I'm in no way threatened by transgenders. Nor am I threatened by a box. "Felling threatened" implies that I somehow think that they are threatening me in some way shape or form, either physically or mentally. They're not. I know who I am and am quite comfortable with myself. And obviously they're not threatening me physically. Being called, or even implied, that I'm a "transphobe" does nothing to or for me. I've been called far worse. And each time I shrug it off knowing the truth of the matter.

    What IS a threat however is not transgenderism itself. But transgender ideology. Do you know the difference? Can you make the distinction? And its not a threat to me. But to those that its affecting. People like the girl in the link I gave earlier. Women in sports. And yes, even women in bathrooms like the two girls who were sexually assaulted in two different schools by the same person claiming to be trans.
