I thought he left went off the deep end when Bush was in office, and when Sarah Palin was the VP candidate. That was nothing compared to what we now see on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS., and MSNBC.
Not that long ago, it was not controversial (certainly not "intolerant") if I said "I think that men should use the mens room, and that women should use the women's room". Now I am accused of intolerance for saying that.
Not a pretty turn of events.

Never had we had a Pres. who seems like a patholgogical liar, spreads misinformation, has such anti Muslim sentiment, seems to accept ethical lapses, deprecates woman and the handcapped, etc. His cabinet picks in some cases where ignorant of the responsibilites/duties of the position. He demonizes the Press (when has any other President referred to a group of Americans as "the enemy"). We still don't know if he has any financial interests in Russia and why he seems to be buddying up to them. Not one of those things has anything to do w/any of his policies.
A question - if there was a male who identified as a female and dressed as a female, would you rather have them go into a men's or a woman's bathroom?

That's easy. If you have a wee-wee, you use the mens room.
If you say that it's OK for men to go into the woman's room as long as they identify as a woman...how the hell do you stop a convicted rapist from following a little girl into the bathroom? If you had your way, he could say "nothing to see here, folks, because I identify as a female you see, so now I can hang out in the ladies room all day".
The left is becoming crazier and crazier.
Lots of women don't want to share bathrooms or locker rooms with anyone who has the male anatomy.
Question for you. If I identify as black, am I eligible for college scholarships reserved for blacks? If I identify as 67 years old, can I start collecting social security?
Because if you are OK with folks changing the circumstances of their birth, why limit it to sex? Why not race or age?

Me either. But that's less offensive to me (just my opinion) than a guy in drag following a little girl into the ladies room.
I can't believe we are having this conversation, and part of me hopes the left keeps clinging to this.
"I think anyone hanging out in a bathroom would raise the interest of the police"
Hyperbole for the sake of comedy Paul, come on...
"don't think IDing as a black would be identified by Drs. as a legit medical condition."
I have no idea. They sound equally devoid from reality, to me.
40% of people who identify as trans, say they have attempted suicide. I cannot imagine the anguish or torment necessary for a suicide rate that high. These people need help. I'm not sure that saying "there, there" is going to cut it.

but yet you can't understand why it bothers some people for that same person to be peeing in front of their 7 year old daughter

I think Paul asked a fair question. And I don't have a daughter. But if I had a son and a daughter, and I had to choose which bathroom that person went in, I'd plug my nose and say the same room as my son. I wouldn't like it, but I'd be less worried than if the trans person went with my daughter.
Perhaps true trans are not a threat (though that's not certain). How do you stop a violent rapist like Willie Horton, from just claiming to be a trans, so he can get easier access to the women's room? Doesn't this make it much easier for perverts to get into the ladies' room?
I can't believe we are having this conversation, I genuinely can't.

Did I say that? I would bet most woman's rooms don't have urinals.
