The most common issue I'm aware of involving transgender people and restrooms is transwomen getting beaten up.

Supposedly there was a single incident of one dude creeping on women in a homeless shelter's bathroom that's trotted out every time a Duggar is championing a bigoted law.

There was a transfemale person in Idaho that got banned from a grocery store. She used the women's bathroom but didn't sit down to pee causing other women to feel uncomfortable.

Well...maybe. Was it based on even one incident of a student feeling uncomfortable about it?

But yeah, I'm expecting the answer is no and it's about adults imagining sexy situations in school bathrooms.

I go to school in Missouri and I went to a presentation my campus' student resources office or whatever put on about transgender issues. The woman putting the presentation on told a story about a student throwing a fit and wanting someone arrested for being in the wrong bathroom. The school told to student to shove it because as far as the school was concerned the transgender student was perfectly within her right to use the women's bathroom.

So yes, I imagine it happens. I also like to imagine most universities would be like mine.

I've seen those funnel things for women to pee standing up sold by camping goods companies. I always used to think they were frivolous and yet without fail about 2 times a year in my college days I found myself sqatting behind a dumpster to pee. We should solve transphobia by getting one for every woman so we can all pee standing up.

Looks like official serious people believe that we are now in the midst of an attempt to shift the overton window left:

I don't see it working out until all the cold warriors die out, but at least they're making a token gesture. I guess the nice thing is finally some dems are doing what we've wanted them to do years ago.

Republicans have found one weird trick to fight Obama's imperial monarchy. Presidents hate it!

quote:

GOP lawmakers plan to employ the seldom-used Congressional Review Act (CRA), which gives lawmakers the power to formally disapprove of major agency rules, as they seek to ratchet up their attacks on federal red tape....

“That’s why I, along with about 40 Republican co-sponsors ... intend to file a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act to ensure a vote to stop this devastating rule,” he said at the time.

While Obama can and likely will veto any efforts to undo regulations through the CRA, the threats carry more weight now that Republicans control both chambers of Congress....

Lawmakers have only struck down one rule under the Congressional Review Act in 43 attempts, according to the Government Accountability Office. In 2001, Republicans repealed the Clinton administration's controversial ergonomics rule aimed at curbing workplace injuries.

The window for action under the CRA is short; the law can only be used against a regulation in the first 60 days after it is enacted. But the disapproval resolutions cannot be filibustered, which means Republicans would only need a simple majority in both chambers to pass them.

He can take our lives, but he can never take our.... workplace injuries!!! :scotland: :corsair:

A new MLK speech has been unearthed. It's powerful:


Yeah it's good:

MLK posted:

While living with the conditions of slavery and then, later, segregation, many Negroes lost faith in themselves. Many came to feel that perhaps they were less than human. Many came to feel that they were inferior. This, it seems to me, is the greatest tragedy of slavery, the greatest tragedy of segregation, not merely what it does to the individual physically, but what it does to one psychologically. It scars the soul of the segregated as well as the segregator. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority, while leaving the segregated with a false sense of inferiority. And this is exactly what happened.

The thing that really gets me about this is that we're in the Era of the Super-PAC. It would've been so freaking easy for D'Souza to instead funnel any money beyond the candidate donation limit through the NY Republican state party, or pass it to the RSCC with a wink and a nudge (illegal, but much harder to catch) or hand it to the relevant Super PAC or even start his own Super PAC (which I'm sure he could use to bilk rubes who watched his movie and pay himself a handsome salary). Like it would have been TRIVIAL for him to not get caught committing this crime, and yet here we are. I hate to channel MIGF on this, but there are enough loopholes in our campaign finance system that he could have tossed any amount of money into that race and not gotten caught, but instead he walked right into committing an obvious crime.

Yes of course, when you scratch below the surface of his political positions the more you look the uglier it gets. I just think that to a certain segment of young, white, mostly male voters his message resonates because they see him talking about things they care about but don't see many other politicians willing to bring up. The solution is to get more Democrats, the people who are supposed to be supporting this poo poo anyways, to stand up and say the same poo poo he is saying without the hidden conservative agenda behind it.

I guess I just see it differently. I see him appealing to the white male id. And who has a less controlled id than the young? It is racist on purpose and appeals because that racism, presented rationally, affirms their world view.

On the trans stuff. I find it odd a republican would support giving tax payer money to someone who saw a trans in a bathroom. Remember how bad it was that lady got burned by mcdonalds coffee

Also I learned first hand taking my 70 year old dying cousin into the womens handicap stall at kaiser, security takes segregation of the bathrooms very seriously. Granted security wouldnt help her from the toliet to the wheel chair but gosh darn they made drat sure I wasnt gonna rape anyone in that bathroom.

Given what happened to Fred Hampton and COINTELPRO it hardly seems as crazy as it might have. And the MLK family actually did have a civil suit a while ago where a group of jurors found that the US Government was complicit in it. Hardly the same thing as stone cold proof but technically not incorrect. :thumbsup:
