Transgender Bathrooms

Here is what I really think about the transgender bathroom drama: 

No one wants to stop transgenders from using them-they want to stop predators from assaulting innocent people than using the "transgender" excuse. You might be the sweetest person in the world and would never even think about hurting anyone. You help little old ladies across the road, you give money to homeless people and save the whales. Sadly, there are people who aren't that way in the world and want to hurt others. You need to remember this. In fact, it's what separates liberals from conservatives. Conservatives know that there are evil people in the world and want to be protected from them, hence they are more likely to be in favor of gun rights. Liberals want to think naively think everyone is soft and cuddly. So again, no one wants to bother the transgender community. It's the predators we are concerned about. 

Next, transgenderism is the new radical chic. It used to be feminism. Then it was minority rights. Then it was jut gay rights. Now, it's transgenderism. Transgender rights trump those of women. If there is a war on women, it's the left who is fighting it now-the bathroom wars prove it. Why do we have laws that'll make it easier for women to be assaulted? 

Third, self critique is not the strength of the protected class. I've seen pro gay marriage people who are generally sympathetic to the rights of LBGT community get shrieked at because they have issues with the bathroom law. Liberalism has a fatal flaw-if you don't agree with everything on the agenda, you are a heretic in some way. This issue also proves that too. Rarely, you'll see people who are pro-gun and pro-gay marriage (Like me, your favorite Mormon Punk)-but you'll rarely see a pro-gay marriage, pro-tax, pro-gun control, anti big business leftist who is  pro-life. Self critique saved the gay male community during the AIDS crisis. Randy Shilts, who wrote the amazing "And the Band Played On" (who was gay himself and tragically died of AIDS) knew this. A little self-critique goes a long way for everyone.
