Quote:People with bad intentions do things regardless of laws.  Remember this: http://www.news4jax.com/news/local/jso-s...y-restroom.  He was in there even though there wasn't a transgender bathroom law.  The law isn't going to cause stuff like this to happen.  It happens anyways.

 

Also, I want to make sure you realize that the article you cited is referring to a man who is NOT trans. My statement that not a single trans person has attacked a non-trans person is true. 

 

I know that. I even said that in my post. It was a straight dude.


 

Lastly, People with bad intentions can take advantage of any law.  As I mentioned, why punish trans people, why not make a law that punishes the criminals?  Transgender restroom rights don't commit crimes, people commit crimes. If you lined up every single transgender bathroom law, not a single of of them would commit a crime.  It is kind of like the argument that guns don't shoot people, people shoot people.  You don't take away guns because some people take advantage of the laws to buy them and commit crimes.  Anyone could say they are buying a gun for any reason, just because someone says it doesn't make it true.

 

I agree with this except the part about guns. Politicians are trying to take away gun rights of lawful people who haven't done a dang thing. 


 

Listen, truth is, people are scared and when they are afraid they will be reluctant to accept changes in societal norms.  I am not scared of trans people or people taking advantage of trans laws attacking my children in the bathroom.  They could be attacked in the bathroom regardless of where someone pees.

 

I agree that folks are afraid of what they don't understand. It doesn't make them bad people like so many try to make them out to be. They just have a different mindset and it's not against the law to have a difference of opinion yet when people don't agree you'd think people were being skinned alive. And yes, people will always take advantage. This, to me anyway, just makes it way too easy for them to do so. 


 

We will have to agree to disagree.

 

Yes, we will. And I'm glad we could debate this without it getting out of hand. I appreciate that.
