Exactly!
How about Obama passing an executive order making Mass Chimp-Outs on school property an instant ticket to Juvenile Detention Centers?

We are all affected by transgender people going in both bathrooms.
There is room for this to be abused ie: perverts going in the ladies restroom.

Why is there even such a thing as 'transgendered kids'?
[–] EarlPoncho 3 points 33 points 36 points (+36|-3) ago
well when a beta male breeds with a fat chick you have 2 spineless fucks without any morals. they then raise a shithead kid who wants to be very special. and since children are ruled by emotion and they have no alpha dad to tell them to quit being a faggot, you get this bullshit.
we need to bring masculinity back. lift you fucking pussies

Idiot helicopter parents that know nothing else but to give their little snowflake everything it asks for. As a parent, I see them daily - taking my kids to the park or something, there's always one. ALWAYS. And they're typically all up in everyones shit, talking how their parenting style is amazing and how - oh hang on, little billy sue is about to do something and I need to hold ze's hand - ...

Destruction of gender roles. They want to be women but they can't say that so they just say they are a woman.

If transgender people make up 0.3% of the population, and there are approximately 3,144 counties across our 50 states, then it stands that this should be a county issue, since there is approximately 1 trans person per county on average (probably with higher amounts in dense city regions like San Francisco and New York City).

Yep, just more kowtowing to the minority special snow flakes of the world. Come on, Trump, take a hard stand on this and tell the mentally ill to knock it off. I mean the Obama administration. The "trannies" can knock it off, too.

Original designers of bathrooms created two different styles to accommodate two different types of........ anatomy. There are bathrooms for people with male genitalia and bathrooms for people with female genitalia. Use the bathroom most appropriate for your current anatomy.
If you can stand to pee, use the urinal.
End of debate.

He said it so the news couldn't use it against him. He said that and CNN walked away to find some other fucked up question to ask him.

Jew Owned Media will not paint their forced "multiculturalism" agenda in negative manner.... even though the United States is all ready the most diverse democracy on the planet.

It shouldn't be a federal issue, it shouldn't be a state issue and it shouldn't be a local issue. It should solely be the issue of the private owner.
The exception are restrooms built and run with tax money (e.g. within town halls), in which case the responsible layer of the nation should decide.

If there's one part of this debacle that I like, it's that both left and right are voting with their wallets. They're learning that state-level coercion doesn't need to be the only tool to affect societal change, which in itself is a sad state of affairs but at least things are headed in the right direction.
[–] HorrorAndHatred 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Leaving it to the states is reasonable. The federal government shouldn't interfere in largely symbolic, cultural issues.
[–] nomenimion 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Agreed.

It shouldn't be an issue for anyone but the individual.
