The California law regarding transgender students is good. It allows transgender children like Coy Mathis, Jazz Jennings, Nikki, and countless others to have the freedom to be their trues selves at school, without having to worry about the administration outing them or making their lives unnecessarily difficult. In fact, there are other laws in California already on the books that do effectively the same thing, this one just helps to reinforce those existing laws. <br /><br />The claims that the bill somehow violates the rights of other students is nothing more than blatant fear mongering and false propaganda being perpetuated by bigoted, anti-LGBT organizations.
Yes, and the way you use the terms make them buzzwords. <br /><br />The great flaw in what you're trying to suggest is the fact that, in this instance, A, B, and C are not variables. <br />A may be equal to B, but A is *not* B. A is A. <br />3 apples are not 3 oranges. <br />You are not me. <br /><br />
Then they should use the bathroom with facilities appropriate to their anatomy (ie, the ones with penses go to the bathrooms with urinals, and the ones with vaginas go to the bathrooms with the tampon dispenser.) <br />
Cisgender means the opposite of "transgender" in sort of the same way that "heterosexual" means the opposite of "homosexual." <br /><br />Basically, if you're cisgender, it just means that your biological gender, your gender identity, and your gender expression are all in alignment with each other.
Of course they do. <br />You invent "transgender", but a "transgender" doesn't exist until a surgeon does his thing. Just because some idiot thinks cutting a kid is preferable to counseling him/her, doesn't mean the legislature has to recognize this idiocy. <br />
I would expect your full support. After all, you're all about people being who they really... or maybe I guess that's just if they really are confused about their sex...
As a Illinois resident, I fully support the cellphone law. Normally I would be very opposed to this sort of thing, but it's gotten incredibly dangerous driving because of people who cant walk and chew gum at the same time trying to drive and talk on the phone. <br /><br />I should add that I was involved in a small accident with a young lady who was talking on the phone, eating, dealing with a troubled child AND driving down the highway - yeah this is needed. <br /><br />It should be noted that this does not apply to hands free operation of a phone. This is a caveat I support since it does allow the user to keep their hands on the wheel and it does also ban texting, eating, putting makeup on and just about any distracted driving problem. <br /><br />Of course I won't be able to load mags with ammo as I drive to the range, but that's a small price to pay.
No surgery until age 18. Therefore, there is no "cutting a kid" involved in this. Also, there is plenty of counseling involved in the process of gender transition.
I don't remember how I was introduced to the site, but I get the Off The Grid emails daily. They have sales on generators, heirlooms seeds and other good information. <br /><br />I thought this talk was especially interesting.
I talk about other issues all the time. It's just no one ever seems to remember them for some reason. About an hour before this discussion started, I posted a topic talking about illegal immigration: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/336ff89/milton-friedman-on-illegal-immigration" rel="nofollow">http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/33...</a>
Uh huh. Tell me, how do you explain this video of her, then? <br /><br /><a href="http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/5151a851fe344463290000a0" rel="nofollow">http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment...</a>
Yeah, you're right. It was *so embarassing* when Neil Armstrong stepped down the steps of the Eagle, turned around, and saw a welcoming committee of Southeast Asians. <br /><br />"In South Asia, many hijras live in well-defined, organized, all-hijra communities, led by a guru." <br /><br />Segregation, much? Alright, if you want to mutilate people rather than help them, sure, mutilate away, and then they can go live in communities by themselves away from normal people. <br />
I'm already intimately familiar with this particular bill (AB 1266), and I've listened to both sides of the argument already. The anti-LGBT lobbyists have no ground to stand on.
