That's one way of saying it. Another way, is saying that we (and I'm proud to not be included in that particular 'we') are getting too stupid and amoral to survive. Can't have chocolate milk in elementary school, or straws, but condoms are OK. Hooray!! |

Funny, I think giving transgender people the respect to live their lives in as normal way a possible is a pretty intelligent and moral thing to do. |

Respect is earned, not Legislated.
I, personally, don't care what barthroom they use. |

I think the years of being ostracized, repressed, humiliated and otherwise diminished as humans has earned plenty of respect.
Don't care what bathroom they use either. |

Well if your 9 year old girl is going into any public rest room without a parent in tow, then I’d question their right to even bitch.

Would you take a 9 year old little girl into a public restroom?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Other than bathrooms, did transgenders not have the same civil rights as normal genders? |

I knew a transgender guy/gal way back in the mid-80's who had credit cards for both genders...he/she was very successful and seemed pretty unoppressed.... and it was always fun to see which one would show up |

The underlying implication in what you say is that transgenders are not normal. Which poses the question--is normalizing something an attempt to make normal something that is not normal? And does that transformation, that new "thesis" in your evolution of society, eliminate any distinctions in or between genders? And would that be the end of the evolutionary dialect, or would there be the eventual antithesis to your thesis? And that antithesis can, and would, come from the left and right. From the left, the tendency to evolve would be the erasure of the normal/abnormal paradigm toward eliminating old distinctions until, sexually, there eventually would be no differences.
Actually, the left's notion of "diversity" is a contradiction. It keeps evolving into sameness in order to secure its version of social justice. |

and the rights of a little girl to go to a public restroom and not be scared? she doesn’t have those rights? because they are bigoted?

since "plumbing" no longer has anything do do with whether one is "men" or "women"...shouldn't we "evolve" and just have one bathroom of everyone? it would make everything much easier  |
