There's no previous cases of assault or harassment of cis people by trans people for using the bathroom. Their fears are not valid. It's as valid as a student suing because they have a phobia of the color grey and can't be forced to use a bathroom that has any grey in it.
The stupidest part to me is that cis women could also potentially assault other cis women in public restrooms but these bigots haven’t even considered that possibility.
Also, if you are a cis man and are just desperate to sexually assault a woman in a public restroom, I would think that a janitor’s uniform and a mop would be enough.
Or even the concept that trans men exist. They are demanding to share restrooms with men, on the grounds that otherwise they may have to share restrooms with people they think are men.
Absolutely. And when I see one of these white knights (and it's almost always a man) talk about how women have to be protected from men in public bathrooms and locker rooms and therefore people should only be forced to use the room corresponding to their biological sex, I show a picture of a man like this and ask them if they think the women they are desperate to protect would feel comfortable changing around him, despite his two X chromosomes.
And if you can’t trust the Mormon government of Utah when it comes to queer people… really, can you trust anyone?
Not sure what the Utah government has to do with news clippings but ok, you do you
It’s almost like the clippings alone don’t tell the full story.
But come on- would Mormon leaders ever be deceptive?
Mormon leaders have nothing to do with the document. That’s why I’m baffled by your comment. It’s like you didn’t look at the document.
I did, in fact, look at the highly selective and edited document with no really good way to confirm every story. Or even more than one or two.
You, on the other hand, either didn’t notice the URL, don’t know who runs Utah, are incredibly naive or just dishonest.
The first article is from the Christian Broadcasting Network and many of the others are from Fox News.
And?
The statement is there has never been a case and that’s false.
Anytime someone says there has never been… it’s almost always a false statement.
Nice try. You posted a bunch of of right wing sources with a really bigoted agenda.
But that’s nothing compared to the trans agenda, am I right?
News articles are now bigoted?
Do not pretend you’ve never heard of Fox News’ anti-queer bigotry and racism.
I don’t know why you want me to think you’re ignorant.
And yes, “news” articles from a company that owes close to a billion dollars for lying to promote their agenda can be bigoted. Duh.
You’re so off topic. I’ll just you rant by yourself now. Have fun
That’s definitely one way to weasel out of your attempt to give Fox News and fucking CBN legitimacy.
I’ll just add you to by block list now and nothing of value will be lost. I prefer to keep conversations on topic and not bigoted rants
HAHAHAHA! I’m the bigot? Bigoted against Fox News?
Damn, just take the L bro
Just wanted to add that the modlog shows why their deleted link was bullshit if anyone is curious.
There is no L bub. People are in prison for doing exactly what the person said never happens.
People don't buy your bullshit outside the echo chamber. Hell, most people don't buy your shit IN the echo chamber.
You’re so weird.
I thought you were anti-socialism but you're out here getting publicly owned left and right
You’re so weird.
Only weirdo here is you, pro touching kids party.
I don’t vote democrat
You’re so weird and creepy.
I know! You're the party of young marriages right? The party of priests touching kids?
Priest are mainly democrats as are most Catholics.
