So, we want men to be able to lurk in womens' bathrooms? I feel like a girl today and go in there? Laws have unintended consequences. Men who want to lurk in women's bathrooms for nefarious reasons would then be able to.

Excellent!

So, you are OK, with men or pedophiles hanging out in womens' bathrooms for nefarious purposes? All they have to do is say "I am transgender". You dont' think they will lie? Oh ok.

Don't you care about your daughters and granddaughters and THEIR privacy? Wow. Guess not.

Never saw the appeal. This is such a "don't care" thing for me. But I hope lots of people return the favor in not buying his music anymore.

Honestly, he sings like he is constipated and trying to have a bowel movement.

Do you notice? They never ask Muslims who they feel about social issues. Ask them about abortion and gay marriage, etc.

Hey Bruce! Check this thread out!

I though this needed its own thread...



Nooo....this would NEVER happen, ESPECIALLY in CANADA!!!!!

he administration at the University of Toronto was recently enlightened on why two separate washrooms are generally established for men and women sharing co-ed residencies.

The University is temporarily changing its policy on gender-neutral bathrooms after two separate incidents of "voyeurism" were reported on campus September 15 and 19. Male students within the University’s Whitney Hall student residence were caught holding their cellphones over female students’ shower stalls and filming them as they showered.



Melinda Scott, dean of students at the University of Toronto, told The Daily Wire that campus police had been contacted immediately and worked with residence staff to “support impacted students and ensure the safety of the Residences.”

“Given the serious nature of these incidents and the impact on directly affected students, we made the decision to specifically designate some washrooms in Whitney Hall for those who identify as men and those who identify as women,” Scott said.

The Daily Wire contacted the University dean and staff members and asked them how they could be unfeeling enough to force men to use men’s washrooms and women to use women’s washrooms.

I hope he and the E Street band are happy counting the money they lost by cancelling. And do you really think NC cares? Sheesh. Some people are so full of themselves.

I never cared for Springsteen.

 See? They don't care about their money because they have plenty of it and an income stream constantly coming in from royalties.  They don't need the money.

Because their comfort trumps your kids'.

What else did I expect?

You may now return to your regularly scheduled program...

Flan, there are very real world consequences when you change laws like this. There WILL be voyeurs who will choose to hang out in the womens' restroom. But, obviously you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend and go La La La.

 Actually, I am humming "American Skin (41 Shots)" right now! LOL

   I suggest you go to Youtube and listen to the Go Go Girls sing "La La Land".  It would be the perfect song for the Bernie campaign!!!

Oh, I expected the reaction to his decision, but not the bashing of his MUSICAL talents.

I couldn't tell you the name of a Merle Haggard song, but I know his legacy.

 That's the thing about musical artists. Different people like different artists. You certainly have no problem dissing artists you don't like but oh noes don't say anything bad about an artist I like.

To each his own. Obviously he has talent and has made millions or billions and is iconic in many ways.

A quick question for the transgender community. If having to deal with the discomfort and inconvenience of using facilities designated for physical gender and not gender identity meant that one little girl was spared from a sexual predator, would that not be a noble sacrifice?

The San Jose-based company PayPal recently announced that it is canceling plans to bring 400 jobs to North Carolina after lawmakers passed a law that restricts protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. More than 80 business leaders recently signed a letter calling for a repeal, including Facebook and Apple CEOs Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook. Bank of America, North Carolina’s largest corporation, also tweeted that it wants the bill repealed. Many critics and activists have called the bill "the most anti-LGBT bill in the country."

In addition to threats from businesses, left-wing rocker Bruce Springsteen has cancelled upcoming shows in NC, and NY Gov Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order banning all non-essential travel to the state. (An ironic position to take since the policies of Cuomo and his predecessors have caused thousands of New York public employees to take their bloated pensions and move to North Carolina permanently.) So what is the horrible, hate-filled bigotry in this bill?

The law directs all public schools, government agencies and public college campuses to require that multiple-occupancy bathrooms and changing facilities, such as locker rooms, be designated for use only by people based on their "biological sex" stated on their birth certificate. Transgender people can use the facilities that correspond to their gender identity only if they have the biological sex on their birth certificate changed. According to the law, public institutions can still offer single-occupancy facilities.

John Rustin, president of the North Carolina Family Policy Council, testified before the Senate, saying that the Charlotte ordinance "means men could enter women restrooms and locker rooms -- placing the privacy, safety, and dignity of women and the elderly at great risk."

After signing the bill, NC Gov. Pat McCrory said, "The basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings, a restroom or locker room, for each gender was violated by government overreach and intrusion by the mayor and city council of Charlotte. As a result, I have signed legislation passed by a bipartisan majority to stop this breach of basic privacy and etiquette which was to go into effect April 1."

Some folks on the right can be insensitive, even antagonistic towards the LGBT community at times. Certain aspects of life can be difficult for individuals with gender identity issues. Every attempt should be made to treat all people with dignity and respect. Legislators could have left the door open for special accommodations to be made. Perhaps the legislation could have accounted for individuals who are currently under the care of a physician or psychiatric expert for gender identity issues. It most likely would not have stopped much of the backlash. Adhering to reasonable compromise is not a character trait of the militant left, but it would have been the right thing to do.  But even if exceptions were made, there would still be the question of whether adults with male anatomy should be using showers, restrooms and locker rooms with young girls.

Being concerned about the potential threat from perverts and sexual predators as well as addressing simple privacy issues is not the same as horrific, bigoted attacks against transgender individuals. Like most liberal causes, there is an initial reaction based solely on emotion and a false narrative, without giving any rational thought. It can be safely assumed that close to 0 percent of people outraged by this bill actually read the bill. It’s pretty much guaranteed Bruce Springsteen didn’t read it.

Many opponents of the bill pointed out that there are no known instances of a sexual predator committing a crime and then using city ordinances as a legal defense. But even they could not argue that it is a potential threat. And shouldn’t we always err on the side of caution? Shouldn’t we protect the most vulnerable first?

According to a report in “Life Site News”, on Feb 8th of this year, a man twice entered the changing room of a swimming pool in Seattle and began disrobing, once in front of a young girls' swim team, saying transgender policies gave him the right to do so. "The law has changed and I have a right to be here," the man reportedly claimed.

Some might say that this anecdote is an anomaly. How often does this happen? But isn’t one instance one too many? One could argue that an individual with a gender identity different from their physical gender is a fairly rare occurrence as well. I’d bet there are a lot more perverts out there than legitimate transgender folks. And who should be better equipped to handle an uncomfortable situation, a transgender adult or a young child.

Like many passionate issues for left-wing activists, they are only passionate when not directly involved. Imagine a progressive father waiting outside a dressing room for his pre-teen daughter when a burly middle-aged man walks right in saying, “It’s cool, don’t worry, I’m a woman. Would you like me to check on her?” Would his initial response be, “Yes, thank you ma’am. I’m so happy  you don’t have to pretend anymore”? I’m sure Mark Zuckerberg would not be celebrating justice and equality because his daughter was forced to shower with a bunch of creepy old men.

The left continues to hold on to this belief that a majority should always sacrifice to accommodate a minority, even when it defies all logic. Everyone should have the right to equal protection under the law, but sometimes it gets a little complicated. You do  not have the right to never be inconvenienced, though. Should the LGBT community focus their attention on other issues? Should they acknowledge the potential downside to their demands on this issue and make the sacrifice for the sake of other possible victims?
