Nathanael D. Striker Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 As someone mentioned earlier, Texas and Florida are in a pissing contest right now, to see who can be more retarded. Florida: Teachers pull down kids pants to look for poop Texas: Suspends kid for imagination Your move Florida http://a.msn.com/r/2/AA94ObQ?a=1&m=EN-US I made a status about this late last night. Absolutely appalling that Florida could fucking do this. I mean, this would be the type of thing you would find if you looked up discrimination in the dictionary. *sighs* Discuss Florida's complete and utter stupidity and disregard for others. And if things get out of hand, I have a Close Topic ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Angel Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 This is really freakin stupid. Yeah, it's a fucking pain. On the other hand though, it probably won't pass anyway, everyone is going to be against the idea. But, who knows. Welcome to America, people.. Where utter bullshit is born.

Andx Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I would like to think of this as one of those law's that has to have a basis for it too stupid to be fake. Like some ridiculous occurrence(s) that actually happened that this law would resolve/prevent in the future. It just doesn't strike me as something people would bother legislating unless some incident was inciting it. At least I hope anyway. Because if there isn't this just comes off as prejudiced and petty. Whether or not you support or disagree or whatever with transgendered people, the government shouldn't go making an already awkward and difficult process for people more awkward and difficult with things like bathroom legislation.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Don't tempt it Agro, or else another mainland state might some other shit. Anyway, This bill is stupid. Based on this, the legislator in here has a flagrant disregard for homosexuality. What happens if someone accidentally uses the wrong bathroom, and they aren't transgender? Sometimes kids do this. (And we have some parents who bring in their opposite gender children to their restroom; I've seen it occur a few times already) Are we supposed to throw them in jail because of a honest mistake? No. Yeah, I personally think this man should be kicked out of the legislature, because he has absolutely no respect for the gay/lesbian community, and we have a good amount of them in the USA. Although some people might not like them, gays/lesbians/transgenders are still people, just like the rest of us who choose to remain normal (retain gender + be heterosexual); you must still treat them with respect and give them the rights they are entitled to. Punishing them for using the opposite gender bathroom because you fear rape and assault is a shit idea. Seriously, some people do have gender reassignment surgery; and even though they're technically the opposite gender now, you still want them to use the other bathroom. Yeah, this representative is full of bullshit. (I won't say anything about his political party, even though I have a dislike for Republicans because of stuff they've done lately.) I hope that Hawaiʻi doesn't adopt this sort of crap either, though I doubt it since transgender roles are technically intertwined into our culture (history redacted due to irrelevancy) and the overall attitude of people here.

Chaotic Angel Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I hope that Hawaiʻi doesn't adopt this sort of crap either Same here for Britain. If they did adopt that bill, I'd be going 'Fuck this shit, I'm gonna beat the living shit out of David Cameron' since he would be the one responsible, should that happen. Not gonna be sorry, since Cameron is a dick anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Angel Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Even I'm having trouble picking this up, these bills are just a load of shit waiting to attract attention. I could have the government sued for discrimination if I had the power. To add it all up, they're a bunch of arseholes as well as being total wankers.

Simping For Hina Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Wait, Cherry, you live in Florida? :D Okay. I actually don't have an opinion about this. To be relevant, it is obvious what Florida was thinking. And we will see what happens if this bill gets passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Being completely serious, this legislation is based off of fear. I imagine the most relevant case is that a lot some number of women are uncomfortable with the idea of men using the same restroom. If someone they consider to be male uses it, it might make some people feel "unsafe." Also people just want to oppress teh gayz, I suppose. Anyway, I have complete faith that the people of America will handle this in the worst possible way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Okay, resident transwoman coming through. There are no recorded attacks made by transgender people in restrooms aligned with their chosen gender. Go ahead, try and find something on that; I'll wait here patiently. We are absolutely terrified to enter a bathroom that aligns with our chosen gender in the first place; it's so much more likely that a transgender person will be assaulted in a bathroom than it is for a transgender person to actually do the assaulting, it's not even funny. Example. As a non-passing transwoman, pre-full time/legal gender change, I'm forced to use the male bathroom wherever I go. The looks I get in these bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, and a lot of the time they're more confused than anything. It feels so fucking unsafe that sometimes I have to wait until I get home to use the restroom unless it's an absolute emergency because public restrooms are just so fucking scary to me. So what, you're afraid of us peeping on you? That's nice. We're afraid of being beaten to near-death every single fucking day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there are no recorded attacks made by transgender people, it's actually infinitely more likely, statistically speaking. So this legislation is retarded even on mathematical levels.

Simping For Hina Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Can we also just mention that Trans/gay Panic Defense exists, though? Less likely to occur, but California is the only state to ban such an offense. There is little to no chance for this to succeed in a court case. It also has no notable uses since 2010, which was a case where the guy pleaded guilty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I thought people were supposed to be about equality nowadays rather than blatant discrimination, that also implies the legislator has no understanding of how the world works implying it is to prevent rapes, etc, he clearly forgets any gender can be the criminal and the victim, even the same gender. You shouldn't make transgendered people feel like criminals, when they have done nothing wrong, some suffer enough as it is. Skye, the excuses people try to give for hate crimes nowadays.
