It's also worth noting the terrifying speed with which this bill progressed through the various stages. According to Blue Nation Review, the time from proposition to McCrory's signature was LESS THAN TEN HOURS. Contrast this with the Republicans dragging their feet on stuff like passing a federal budget or confirming a new Supreme Court justice.

Bump because the saga continues. They're actually gutting the disaster relief fund so they can keep fighting this, to the tune of half a million bucks.

Well if people die due to insufficiencies in the disaster relief budget, at least they won't be going to hell for supporting transsexuals!

this thread is adlp bait

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

leave rights up to the states

if the federal government is trying to legislate who can use which bathroom, it's too big

I live in Georgia and have heard nothing like this. .-.

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

wait does this include racial segregation?

because that is a pretty sweeping statement and either way it puts you squarely on the wrong side of history, then and now.

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

guess i shouldnt sweep so wide because obviously im not for segregating skin color

but i am for bathrooms to be segregated by sex, you know like the rest of the sane world does

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

states rights is usually a last resort for people who have no actual argument btw.

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

Possibly related: The 4th Circuit Court, which has jurisdiction over NC, has ruled that a Virginia transgender high school student cannot be required to use the gender-neutral bathrooms, as doing so violates Title IX. And Gov. McCrory has said he will abide by it.

So that's that argument going up in smoke.

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

cool

good thing im not the usual

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

also title ix is bullshit too

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

we have 3 bathrooms in most larger buildings, one for co-ed/trans/non binary gendered people.


and neutral gender is being considered to put into law atm

I think it's pretty sane to respect people.

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

yes, your many logical arguments on this subject would suggest that you have valid reasons for denying bathroom use to people whose gender you do not acknowledge for other well explained and thouroughly justified reasons.

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

uh... no?

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

oh i definitely acknowledge transgenders who think they are the other of the two genders. the only two in existence

and yes title ix is bullshit, it cut my university's mens soccer and baseball team right before i went to baseball's open tryouts. now we have women's basketball and women's soccer that dont draw a crowd. the supply didnt meet the demand so title ix skewered it and tons of girls at my school are pissed, they dont want to go to women's games either

Re: Sweeping anti-gay legislation soon to become law in North Carolina
 

I'm having a very difficult time finding any scientific evidence that supports the claim that transgenderism is a thing, in fact I can only find the opposite. I'm all for respecting people but I find it troubling that the 40% of those who are transgender, wish they had never had post op. I'm aware that post op transgenders are actually in the minority, but if the science available isn't clear, (maybe it is although i struggle to find any) isn't it sort of a moral issue when we allow possibly mentally ill people to willingly mutilate their bodies? Just a random thought
