North Carolina House Bill 2

[EZWind]

I've seen quite a few women use the stalls in the men's rooms at ballgames & other large crowded venues,

....as have I...on many occasions...and like you said...never a word of complaint
...and how about outdoor concerts and large festivals? There's a row of Port-O-Johns that men and women alike line up at and when one becomes vacant you go in, TCB and go on your way.....no problems at all, except maybe when they don't set them up in the shade....by late afternoon after they've been cooking in the sun all day, things can get a bit ripe, but still ...it doesn't bring on the Apocalypse

..... I just wish women would put the seat back up where it belongs.

..heh heh....good one
....that whole seat up/down controversy is one sticking point in the battle of the sexes thing that I'll never understand. Whenever a woman bitches about men over this and I ask them what's the problem, they always say well, have you ever sat down on the bowl w/ the seat up? The answer, of course, is no, never once....men have to do it sitting down half the time too....if you're standing and the seat is down, you put it up. If you need to sit and the seat is up...you put it down, it ain't rocket science. Whenever you're about to drop trou and set your bare ass down on something, it's just common sense to take a look first to see what you're sitting on....sorry ladies, I just don't get it

The difference being pro-trans rights like marriage, healthcare, employment, etc. Even to use the bathroom if one has taken or undergoing active steps for a transition. This does not necessarily mean some legal piece of paper, but some formidable action towards transitioning. Make sense?

....not really, but OK....I give up

Even the NBA is getting in on the subject. North Carolina has thirty days.

Little insignificant crap' to you is monumentally important to some. a proliferation of 'little insignificant crap' taken together becomes a program of discrimination. Usually the people who benefit the most from discrimination can't see how their actions affect others. They're too taken up with proclaiming that 'nobody' is complaining. Ironic really since the 'Nobody' they're referring to is made up of the majority. It's always the so-called minority that recognizes and acts because they most acutely feel the pain inflicted by 'nobody'.

I didn't say anything about gender-specific bathrooms. Read it again.

I'm not clear on what you're saying about championing men to use the ladies room: are you inferring that no-one ever championed men to use ladies rooms but suddenly we care if the man claims to be transgender? If that's your point I really don't have anything else to say to you.

"Public restrooms are for a) pissing b) washing your hands c) taking a shit none of which are gender-specific activities." -- that's the comment I was referring to. It's not gender specific. It's sex-specific. Women and men do different things in bathrooms and they do more than those 3 things above. Women have this thing called a period. People use restrooms to get naked for some reason because they can't do it in public (change clothes, check a pimple on their back, give themselves an enema before that hot date).
I can't understand why "Little insignificant crap' to you is monumentally important to some" is such a unilateral concept to so many. For one second, apply what you said to the people on the other side. You think having a guy who identifies as female in a bathroom is cool. It's insignificant. Maybe it's monumental to someone else. Your thoughts are not the only ones that matter. What if there's a woman who was sexually assaulted by a guy and now you make her uncomfortable because she (irrationally) thinks guys are coming into the bathroom? Are her feelings less significant because she's not transgender? I don't know numbers but I can guarantee there are more sexually assaulted women in NC than there are transgenders. You are being as close minded as you accuse the other side of being. This issue enforces itself. Go use the bathroom and shut up about it. No law is needed. Period. No one can beat your ass for using the bathroom- it's illegal! You know when you're using a bathroom that you have no business in. There are bad people everywhere, sometimes bad shit happens-just drive through the hood and see what legislation will do for you! All this crying that the activist have done has only made (using the bathroom) an issue and is hence more dangerous than it was before.

xhamster is blocking North Carolina viewers from accessing their site lol

That will likely achieve the most pressure on the state, if porn companies block citizens. No way citizens will be happy with being block from viewing porn lol. You should totally do it too Grooby!
