And mark my words, these entirely avoidable abuses won&#8217;t be perpetrated by women entering men&#8217;s restrooms &#8211; they will be perpetrated against <em><strong>girls<\/strong> <\/em>and women by men.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>Transgender rights to restroom access<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; is Political Correctness taken to idiotic extremes, and as usual it isn&#8217;t about civil rights or equality &#8211; it is about misinformation pandering to and trying to influence public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a man, I don&#8217;t care if some woman is foolish enough to walk into a men&#8217;s restroom and say, &#8220;<strong><em>I think I&#8217;m a man today, so I have a right to be here.<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; In fact I&#8217;m probably the fool who&#8217;ll try to defend them from the other men in the restroom who demand she prove it. However I most <strong><em>certainly do care<\/em><\/strong> about men pretending to be women in order to enter a restroom my daughters, or indeed any women or girl, might use.\u00a0 In my considered opinion permitting or endorsing such an action is a gross violation of every females right to privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Am I saying transgender people must be forced to use the restroom of their birth gender?\u00a0 <strong>No, I am not<\/strong>.\u00a0 However we must consider what transgender means. If someone truly is transgender then they have <strong><em>transitioned<\/em> <\/strong>from their birth gender to the semblance of the opposite gender.\u00a0 If that is so, then you or I should not be able to tell them from someone who is actually of their transitioned gender, and they should definitely not be broadcasting this information.\u00a0 This means the entire question of transgender restrooms is<strong><em> irrelevant<\/em><\/strong>, since <strong><em>real transgender people<\/em><\/strong> are already using them and have been for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us right back to the fundamental flaw of this politically correct nonsense.\u00a0 Namely how <strong><em>it literally opens the door to abuse<\/em><\/strong> by people <strong>masquerading<\/strong> as people of the opposite sex.\u00a0 It does not bestow any new privileges on real transgender people, it bestows new <strong>rights<\/strong> on male perverts who can now pretend they are transgender in order to abuse women and girls.<\/p>\n<p>When did we start thinking the rights of the few are of any greater worth than the rights of the many?\u00a0 That is how this issue looks to me, misguided, completely unnecessary, recklessly dangerous, and grossly unfair to women everywhere.\u00a0 And as a man, for me the worst thing about this entire fiasco is that <strong><em>it will adversely affect women<\/em><\/strong> far more than it will affect men.\u00a0 Men have mistreated women enough, let us not open the doors to one of their last remaining sanctuaries from men, namely <strong><em>Female<\/em><\/strong> restrooms everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restrooms are not about sex, they are about gender.
