3. transgender people should go in the bathroom that corresponds to their sex organ

"i don't care about the safety and well-being of transgender people and they're only legitimate to me if their sex organs match their gender identity."

4. it is the states right to choose about gay marriage, not the federal government, same goes for gun laws, and weed

except equal marriage should be a basic right, not up to the state.

5. the women are liars that seek attention, why did they all come out at once? oh thats right because theyre liars

because women who don't feel comfortable reporting sexual violence when it happens must be liars!

So my point is, I agree that LGBT should have their rights like many have stated but I can see why people would be against it.

Also, something I want to know. How likely was it that Hillary Clinton would have listened to her husband if she won?

I saw someone burn Hillary online, something along the lines of: "The only reason why Hillary stayed with Bill was for this election and she lost"

It's mean and I'm a bad person so at the time of reading I thought it was pretty funny

Anyways, I think she would. It'll pretty much be another 8 years of a Bill Presidency, just under Hillary's name with minor changes.

Why do you think people would be against it?

1. You're not a real transgender if you dont have the correct sex organ switch. and even then i think sex changes should be illegal
2. it is up to the state. everyone just doesnt know because of the federal gov stomping all over states rghts
3. almost all of them do it for attention. people have enough common sense to call out a rape when it actually happens, and if it did happen, why dont they file charges? oh wait, because theyre fake

The only way to get around the social issues: Learn how to take perspective. It doesn't matter if it's a gay/lesbian or transgender situation. It doesn't matter if it's a race situation. People have to take perspective of how people are raised. People can be raised to be accepting or unaccepting. I think the problem is that people can't understand the perspective of others. This goes for "both" sides.

But don't ever use the excuse of "That's how they were raised," to be transphobic, homophobic, or racist. People can learn to be accepting. It just requires education
And being a decent human being.

I love how someone who thinks sex changes should be illegal thinks they know what is and isn't "real transgender".

That guy is obviously a troll.

"i don't care about the safety and well-being of transgender people and they're only legitimate to me if their sex organs match their gender identity."

I wouldn't promote discrimination against transgender people, but this is more of a privacy and security issue to me, not some discrimination issue. I don't get why they chose to start an issue on this. My main issue of the bathroom debate isn't about transgender rights. It's to keep the cisgendered heterosexuals of one sex out of the opposite sex's bathroom. The cisgendered people can abuse the system to do this.

except equal marriage should be a basic right, not up to the state.

Marriage shouldn't even be in politics. I would agree with letting the states decide on laws against abortion, but marriage of any kind is a natural right, even if it isn't considered marriage according to some people.

Some of these women never even met Trump. And shouldn't rape be reported to the police before it goes to the media?

No one cares what you think about another person's body.
And no, people can be transgender without the sex change. People don't choose their gender. This is where gender dysphoria comes in. People can hate their own sex, but still be the gender that they feel the most comfortable.
Separate gender and sex. Gender is what you feel. Sex is what you are given.

If you feel comfortable with your sex, congratulations. But don't disregard other people's gender dysphoria.

Oops. I posted the same thing a few times because TBT is being weird, but seriously... don't feed the trolls guys.

lol im completely serious

That guy is obviously a troll.

Judging by the way he's posting, he sounds like it. Being an arrogant Trump supporter is just as bad (or almost as bad) as being a Trump protestor who gets violent or destructive.

This site is very laggy. I don't know why it has been this way.

 

[Bowie]

I think Cory actually has a reputation for acting like this. Most likely a troll, but who knows? There are plenty of folks out there that genuinely believe in nonsense like that.

Do you guys seriously not get Cory's schtick by now?
