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

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

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

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.

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.

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

some pretty basic googling shows that this is 100% bullshit.

you never had a men's soccer team and your baseball program was cut because your school moved into a conference that doesn't have baseball and no other conferences wanted to take you on.

it looks like after the baseball team was dropped the women's soccer team started to use their old field, which is probably where your misplaced anger is coming from, but again, nothing to do with title nine.

ps they replaced the mens baseball team with a mens tennis team. a real tragedy, but further proof that it has nothing to do with gender or title ix.

alright so we learned that maybe fact checking is probably best but I just want the transgender science facts
