Thats the secondary point of her statement; the ACLU is Selectively Inclusive, pandering to leftist donations to jockey for Social Crusades.

I would be in the same position. I would WANT to tell my children that some people are sick in the head and that is why they do what they do but politicians want votes and they dont care if it comes from sick people. I am not allowed to discriminate or teach discrimination even though every bone in my body says it is wrong so what do I do?
I will get flack for this but it is what it is. I do not support transgender so I would be a hypocrit to complain about being descriminated against, myself.

All I can say is I disagree with you.
There are many diversities in humans. Knowledge over ignorance. Naive and ill-informed can be dangerous for one thing (not referring to transgenders).
My mom was raised racist. She raised us to accept everyone. When I asked her why, she said: "Because its your generation, not mine."

Well, I believe that ignorance also covers thinking people can do whatever they want, regardless if it directly affects others or not, and there will be no residual consiquence.

Transgender [Gender Dysphoria) is real whether you want to believe it or not. There are plenty of medical professionals to back that up.
This mostly blew up because of a child - - a 5th grade m/f transgender student.
There are thousands (low estimate) of transgender children in public school.
You want to out them to their classmates by forcing them to use a "special" facility?

Sure there is a condition, it is called being sick in the head. Its nothing wrong with it, snip happens.
We already have special needs facilities so I dont see why we cant have more.
We dont take away stairs just because some people cant walk.

The ACLU has supported the Obama administration’s guidance on transgender bathroom use in public schools — a principle Maya Dillard Smith stands strongly against.
“It became clear that we were principally and philosophically different in opinion,” she toldAtlanta’s NPR station.
She said she is in the process of educating herself on transgender issues, but claimed there was no room for dialogue at the ACLU.
In a statement obtained by Atlanta Progressive News, she accused the ACLU of being “a special interest organization that promotes not all, but certain progressive rights. In that way, it is a special interest organization not unlike the conservative right, which creates a hierarchy of rights based on who is funding the organization’s lobbying activities.”
Ms. Smith explained that the last straw for her was when her young daughters ran into three transgender adults in the women’s bathroom.
“I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women’s restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults over six feet with deep voices entered,” she wrote. “My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer.”
Apparently, this women was the head of the ACLU in Georgia.
Three men over 6 feet tall, with deep voices, wearing dresses walk into a women's bathroom and somehow thats "ok" or permitted.
I dont have any kids so I have no idea how I would handle our latest 1st world problem.
I suppose I would either accompany them or escort them.
I fully realize that men were free to enter a lady's room prior to these cross-dressing laws but now that its becoming "legal", it seems like incidents in women's bathrooms are becoming more frequent.
