    The word tranny is a slur. Would you call a black man a porch monkey? Then don't call trans people tranny.

    Can you give me the PC terms for next week? Next year? Is Trans OK? It is hard to tip toe in flip flops.

    if you check between her legs, you won't find what males have. She's a she and in need of help, not encouragement to perpetuate the fantasy.

    I don't make it a habit to self-censor myself to prevent the offense of others.

    absolutely.....

    it's amazing to me that people try to dismiss this as noone is interested in girls pissing is absurd. No it's not my cup of tea, but there are plenty of perverts who do. Also, to dismiss the fact that there are plenty of guys that would have loved to have gotten into the girl's locker room back in middle and highschool is dishonest too.

    I think, in middle/high school lockerrooms, you will have issues with that one boy that always pushes the line, and is smart enough to know he's got a free ticket in so long as he says the right thing, and sticks to his story. There are states that won't even allow the schools to tell the parents of the kid who claims a different sex for fear of parental bullying.

    So in essence.... a boy can say "I'm a girl" be allowed in, if anyone complains, they are expelled, if problems occur when he's in there, they can't suspend or expell because they legally can't tell the parents of the boy where he was when he got into trouble.


    my issue with this transgender thing is the door it opens for perverts. Trannies may be confused.... but I'm not thinking they are going to go in and prey on victims.... it's the pervert that realizes, he can make money selling pictures he takes with his glasses camera, or covert smart watch, and all he has to say to gain access is "I feel like a girl today"

    "I'm just not censoring myself" is code for "I'd much rather continue making the world a more hateful place while pretending I'm being all high and mighty."

    No, I don't. They could just walk in there any way.

    What is? Assaulting people in the restroom or transgender people using them?

    I suppose it is important to make that distinction, but I never thought you were attacking them in the first place.

    This is the part of your argument I don't understand. All they would have to do regardless of any permission given to transgender people or not, is dress up like a lady and go in there.

    I am not trying to be a smart ass about this, but there is no sex checks prior to entry. So how would these perverts be less encumbered now if all they have to do is the same exact thing.

    My issue with this bathroom business is making a law about it would be impossible to enforce.

    As it stands now transgender and cross dressers are allowed in there now, so long as they aren't sporting a ZZ top beard.

    Making, um, policy or law would be completely ineffective unless some really draconian measures were taken.

    No it's not.
    It's short for transvestite, transsexual, and the new transgender.
    Your desire to be a victim doesn't determine what words are slurs or not.

    And nice way to fit in calling a black person a "porch monkey".... feel good to get that out ?

    Think what you like of it - I feel no ill-will toward trannies, I don't support their oppression, etc - but don't expect to use their trans/sis terminology - just as I have no time for saying "African American", or "native american". Deal with it.

    What stopped them before?

    In the case of schools they are a publicly owned building thus the parents should set the policies should there be any. And they need to be specific. All it really takes is parental interest.

    How has that door ever been shut? What stops a pervert from pretending to be female?

    Which is why "hetero" is not a slur... yet for some reason "homo" is.

    Those crazy code words and dog whistles again.

    nothing but words on a paper...... they could get kicked out, and cops could be called to remove them if they didn't comply and served with a tresspass warrant.

    now.... it' it's not allowed..... the full wrath of the LGBT community will attack you and sue you into either accepting the behavior, or going bankrupt....

    I know the gender of every kid at my school. Even the ones that are tom-boyish, or extra feminine..... if they try to swtich bathrooms, it's known and can be stopped.

    So what is different now?

    Nobody has the right to not be sued.



    It can't be stopped unless you are standing right there expecting it. Funny thing about sneaky stuff it doesn't seem to happen right in front of you while you are expecting it.
    All somebody has to do is go in there when you aren't around. That has always been how this happens.

    It's as simple as walking through a door.

    Most appropriate? This is where it falls apart. The stalls in men's rooms and women's rooms are identical. How can you choose which stall is most appropriate when they're identical. A woman to man trans is not going to use the urinal. A man to woman trans wouldn't be offended by the urinals since he's been using them all his life.

    Sure, if you're one of those who accepts homophobe as an actual word.

    Regardless... Homo is already taken.

    It's "than", and there is no apostrophe in "homos".

    English really isn't as hard a language as you make it, FA.


    How about you let those more capable be the ones to create new words. ;)

    Laws and rules are stupid, just invisible barriers that people are going to break anyways. No point in having any rules or laws.

    That is the argument you are making.

    No, making a law that can be enforced is productive.

    Making laws that are impossible to enforce sense pointless to me.

    We say murder is illegal, but obviously it stops nobody from committing murder. Therefore it is dumb murder is against the law.

    What he is intentionally failing to understand is that laws aren't always able to stop something from happening, but can be used against someone if they do.

    No the law doesn't, enforcement of the law does all the stopping of crime. Laws are toothless and thus pointless without enforcement.

    My argument was that any laws regarding restrooms would be impossible to enforce. Not that it would deter commission 100%

    Do you really think it's wise to take police out of traffic to check crotches? If that isn't what you are proposing, than please explain how this law would be enforced.

    Laws never stop things from happening. They only give power to enforce them.

    Thus a law that isn't possible to enforce is pointless.

    We could make it illegal for the sun to rise before noon, without the ability to enforce it, it's kind of pointless, no?
