I have not one problem with a business that chooses to follow a policy that mandates bathroom use to your birth gender. I have every problem with a government that mandates it. Someone talked earlier about transgender use of bathrooms as the road to communism. I'm sorry, (well not really) but when the government continues to dictate further and further what we can and cannot do as individuals and businesses, that's a road I don't want to be on. Again, if every business in North Carolina said they would follow this policy, fine, that's their choice. But the government getting involved is way across the line in my book.

 

What you would like to work out would be good if those misguided individuals would leave everyone alone. They are the ones seeking to change the norm. Plenty of facilities to use that are designated for family use , that could be used by these individuals. The government had to step in to protect moral defenders of society.

I couldn't stand Schilling as an analyst...so as far as I'm concerned I'm glad he's off of ESPN.

ESPN is well within their rights to fire Schilling. But, this business of labeling everyone a bigot has gotten ridiculous.

 

Totally agree. I am so sick of the many liberals (not all but many) whose go-to strategy is to call anyone who disagrees with them a bigot. It is an attempt to silence those who disagree with them and sadly it works more often than it should.

 

I think calling someone a bigot because they don't want a dude in the woman's bathroom is as wrong as wrong can be.

 

I guess we should call those in favor of allowing men in a woman's restroom sexists. Maybe they should be labeled as well.

"Protecting" from who? Show me a study that the transgender, gender fluid, questioning or other groups have a higher incidence of pedophelia, assault or other illegal conduct. The law in NC is nothing more than a "boogeyman" excuse to espouse judeo-christian norms and discriminate against those they see as "different" or "who at best are misguided individuals."

 

You're entitled to your binary bible-thumping and heteronormative opinions, but quit trying to get the state to sanction them via statutes.

 

This stinks of influence from pseudo intellectual in sociology

For the record ESPN had every right to fire Schilling.

His desire to spread his message despite warnings from his employer cost him $2.5M per year.

That's is a whole bunch of somolians.
