Using made-up terminology (like calling another member a "jihadi") is a clear sign that the argument is irrational.
Americans have the right to privacy and to use public facilities that correspond to their gender. All Americans.
People have different gender identities, that is an accepted medical fact.
Those of you who keep posting about "a war" to keep people from using the public facility proper to their gender are hysterically promoting an insane agenda of division with the not-so-subtle threat of violence.
That tells me all I need to know about your position: mindless zealotry.

Funny, but the only one committing crimes of violence are those deranged lunatics that feel they have a right to go into the opposite gender bathroom like that Best Buy snowflake (Grown Man) that beat that 9 year old within an inch of her life. The rest of us are voicing an opinion.
I don't know what your term for it is but a 9 year old beaten within an inch of her life seems to be as act of war to me. Is it just collateral damage to you?
Furthering a cause at the expense of innocent children is an act of lunacy and that is what this whole bathroom perversion is.. We have an opinion on the issue and we are not committing acts of violence like your team is. Its the deranged that are assaulting children in bathrooms.
Then again, the mentally ill usually interpret opinion as an act of violence. I think the medical term for that is snowflake..

Yes? The majority expects to get undressed around people with the same genitalia as their own.
Not a special right more like a common right
Would you sit in the woods right next to a dude Annee or would you want privacy or would you just get over it
There is no way she would let her child go into a bathroom alone with a grown man following her.
A transgender m/f is not a man, she's a woman. Her brain tells her so.
I don't think a child should ever have to be separated from their caregiver. I fully support a father's right to escort his daughter into the women's restroom (or the men's room).
Maybe its time we make them all Family restrooms.
My grandson is 8. He goes where I go.
And BTW, this all started because of children. Trans children. Yes, there are thousands of them in public school.

I want them to us the bathroom I don't care. I'm very comfortable with a man-woman in a urinal beside me, not gonna stop me from taking a piss.
Some people don't want their daughters around grown men alone in the bathroom.

Please don't start with the Christian thing... You just implied Christian fundamentalist are child molesters
Child molesters are child molesters and come in every form and don't follow a trend. I get your point but still isn't a valid argument

I would said 10% (probably less) of transgender people are passable and really hard to tell if they're the opposite sex and many need years of hormones to make changes, which is horrible for your body btw.
And yes people are pushing back and using terms like "war" "jihad" because the Obama administration is looking to cut funding and you have school expelling students for not using proper gender pronouns.
No one is threatening violence.... and if they do report them

You can't say I need to read more carefully and then say you have proof that your original statement is true
kinda confusing

Trans* Americans are not "deranged lunatics." Medical science disagrees with you. Psychiatric science disagrees with you.
You are voicing your opinion. You don't represent anyone else and you certainly don't represent "the rest of us." Own your bigotry.
I'll be glad to review the facts of the matter in regard to the 9-year old you're referring to, since you ask so kindly. Please provide a link to a factual news report.
And I assure you, I can provide you stacks of data on incidences of actual child molesters (which for some reason, tend to be fundamentalist Christians, but I'm sure that's just coincidental - as all Christians are patently not child molesters) that demonstrate quite clearly that if we are to be concerned about one demographic over another ... Trans* Americans are not the ones we need to fear.
The only "snowflakes" here are the ones who want to patrol the pants of the folks in the restroom with them.
Are you one of those? When you're in the restroom, do you find yourself obsessing about what the genitalia of the other folks in there with you is like?

This is mostly about public schools. Trans students.
That's the root of where all this began. It's possible, but unlikely, a man is going to follow a young girl into her schools bathroom.
Many places now have single stall unisex or family restrooms.
The paranoia is hyped.

Tell that to the little girl that was brutally beaten at Best Buy. Is her life of living in a paranoid hyped state for the rest of her childhood unfounded?
Its amazing to me that the left says we must take all the guns away if its going to save one child's life but here we have a child almost murdered at the hands of the very policy they are pushing and they call it hype. Use your take all the "guns argument away" and apply it here and poof! Problem Solved!
It other words practice what you preach. Then again, I am just a bigot..

Bigotry is bigotry. It's a word like any other. It has meaning.
Whenever someone says "it would seem you are saying that" it is clear evidence that the other person did not say that.
I am appalled that you are trying to use a little girl's senseless death to justify your political agenda here, if I may be blunt.
The man who murdered this girl was not Trans*. He was illegally in the facility. And obviously, he is a killer.
That has nothing to do with allowing millions of people across the US to continue to use the public facility that corresponds to their gender.
It has nothing to do with folks like you who seem obsessed with what others have in their pants while you're in the restroom.
LOL ... so you have proof that every Christian child molester "infiltrated" the group and was not, themselves, a Christian?
I'd love to see that.
Yeah, I saw your mislabeled link. I commented on it. You're desperately trying to muddy the waters here at the expense of a poor 9 year old girl that was brutally murdered. I find that repulsive in the extreme.

Oh thank goodness. I thought the man had killed the little girl. I'm very glad she's not dead.
I'm sure she will have a lot to deal with in the coming years. I hope she gets the help she needs.
Your obsession with policing genitalia in public facilities has nothing to do with the case of this young girl. And again, shame on you for suggesting it does.
You haven't answered the obvious question: do you find yourself obsessing about the genitals of the people you share public bathrooms with?
Enough with trying to use a tragedy to your political advantage. Tell us, do you want to be one of the folks that "checks genital status" before using the bathroom?
