Discussions about transgender individuals’ access to bathrooms are highly sensitive. I would support a resolution to align safe spaces (bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms) with biological sex — rather than gender identity — no matter which political party filed it. And not just in the US Capitol… everywhere.
It’s unfortunate that the latest resolution filed by Nancy Mace appears to target Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. Maybe it does… or maybe it’s just that this particular challenge hadn’t been faced previously. Some are accusing Mace of bigotry and transphobia. Others are openly posting death threats against her.
Still others support her position.
And I’m guessing there are many that won’t state how they feel about it… not in support of or in opposition to. They’re afraid of hurting feelings. Perry’s niece is married to a transgender — hormone therapy but no affirmation surgery.
Here’s the thing… it’s a female to male transition. Basically that means flattening breasts with a tight wrap, changing from a male to female name, and using different pronouns. While Nancy Mace is supporting women and girls — and I agree with that — I personally believe it should apply across the board.
How do you feel about sharing a private space with a person who identifies as your sex even if it’s not the same as your biological one?
How do you feel about your daughters/sons in the same position? Does it matter if they are school age children?
Hugo doesn’t mind sharing his restroom with two females.
He is just happy and smiling because he knows he’s got it made. 🙂
One more day of those huge capsules (so long as he tests ok afterward), and I’m running out of things to trick him with. He will no longer eat peanut butter on a cracker or a hot dog. Today’s medicine went down wrapped in $10/pound chicken breast from the deli.
Now you know: In South Korea, only blind people can get a masseur’s license. This law was established in 1912, to help visually impaired people earn a living. It was upheld by their Constitutional Court in 2008.
