ACLU Director Quits After Daughters’ Bathroom Ordeal -

Is Rush and RW media still scaring people telling them that boys will be showering with girls? Rush is wrong 99.7% of the time, but he works for the establishment elites. So that's expected.
JS is clearly correct based on the fact that there have been no incidents that involved any police reports of transgender people terrorizing children in women's bathrooms, according to the sources I've run across. All it is is political fear-mongering swallowed by those whom are the most gullible or naive.

There are some issues with the article, such as the use of the word trans-men which confuses the definitions which confuses the story. It also being a Catholic source that can't provide any further details is very suspicious.
But, if it's real, and assuming the article incorrectly used the term trans-men, then good riddance. You shouldn't be leading a civil liberties organization if you don't believe in civil liberties for all. And **** her for bringing up the whole "bathroom panic" bull****.

The most disturbing thing I've ever encountered in a public restroom was a guy in the men's room at a Burger King trimming his fingernails with an 8-in Bowie knife.

How do you feel about weapon-free restrooms?
I oppose that.
But at least he wasn't using a handgun to trim them.

I think esmith gets the point. If it's a hot topic 'only' in conservative media land, you should fact check it much further. RW media is notorious for hyperbole and panic mongering scaring the sheep.

I'm against 'em.
I normally carry a folding knife or multitool, and once shaved in a restroom with a folding Buck knife when unexpectedly away from home overnight.

I'd be more worried about her daughters' mental health. Why were they so freaked out by this? Were they born with "Republican brains?"
I think some neuro testing is in order.

Indeed. Obviously nothing went on that should have traumatized them. What if a cis-woman who is over six feet tall and/or has a deep voice uses the same restroom as them? It will be interesting to see if there is any further incidents that target cis-women because of these fears. But, I do suppose it may cause things to tip in the favor of transsexuals sooner rather than later if the "innocent" continue to be suffer from the fallout of such hatred.

Then how am I supposed to bring in my machete in order to hack off my leg hair? Us Amazons grow hair awfully fast and it is really strong hair. I never have figured out how Superman cuts his hair. :shrug:

Duh!
Kryptonite razor blades.
They're safe because it takes so little of the stuff to make a blade.

Oh yeah? Then how does he get his suit cleaned? If it takes kryptonite just to shave how about getting Kryptonian sweat stains out? Huh? Smarty pants?

How did she know they were transgendered men? Maybe they were some really masculine women?

Ah, I don't wanna imagine how :expressionless:

The Adam's apples and five O:clock shadow give them away every time.
Recently in the news, a woman experienced an "ordeal" when an obviously trans woman was in the lav.
The problem was that the "trans" woman wasn't trans. She just had short haircut.
I saw the pic of the accused....I'd have never thought her a man.
There is some hyper-sensitivity out there, eh?
I play it safe, ie, when people are minding their own business, I let them be.

I wouldn't count on that. Trans-women often get their facial hair removed early in their transition, and the Adam's apple, if they have one, is usually reduced in size. And some cis-women have an Adam's apple.
