Proud of Gov. Pat McCroy for trying to stop this bullshit overreach by Obama and the DOJ.

I sincerely hope NC prevails in the case.

"In a statement announcing the lawsuit, McCrory said the federal government was trying to tell every government agency and company employing more than 15 people "that men should be allowed to use a women's locker room, restroom or shower facility."

"The lawsuit emphasizes that no one is facing discrimination because the law applies equally to everyone. "All state employees are required to use the bathroom and changing facilities assigned to person of their same biological sex, regardless of gender identity, or transgender status," it says. "

The arguments about trans people is just about the least interesting culture war item I've encountered. Maybe I'm getting old or something, I don't know. I just can't imagine why anyone on either side is really all that wound up about such a nothingburger.

Bathrooms should be split by gender, simple. done. Too easy for creepy fucks to buy a blonde wig and walk into a female restroom and say "I'm transgender".

Not to mention transgender is like .01% of the population it is really is a non issue.

He's going to be in the bathroom with your women. Now tell me about how he could walk in and not get kicked out for being a man.

"Sir, we're going to have to arrest you for being too damn sexy."

So, before this gets shut down....

At exactly what percent of the population can a minority lay claim to civil liberties such as not having laws enacted against them to prevent the crimes of an entirely different demographic?

A solitary human ...can lay claim.
They are supposed to apply to all humans ...in theory.

The state suing the federal government. I wonder who's going to win.

[Machismo]

I'm not sure why so many so-called conservatives want to get their panties in a bunch about someone in a bathroom. It's the pinnacle of hypocrisy for anyone who says they support less government intrustion.

Nobody would even care if stalls were a little more private. Make stalls more secure, take the pee-pee/hoo-haa signs down and replace it with a smiling poo and call it good.

Just recolor the Menchie's logo for the crapper icon.

I love how not discriminating against people is "bullshit overreach."

They dont want dudes with shlongs hanging out in the women's bathrooms?

[Machismo]

conservatives want less government?

Real conservatives do. Unfortunately, this country happens to be filled with a bunch of hateful rednecks and old people who want to ban and restrict everything they don't like.

In theory, but I run into a lot of people who think two wolves and a sheep should decide what's for dinner.

When it works out in their favor, of course.

But they're discriminating against the people who want to be free to discriminate! Be tolerant of their intolerance!

But they want woman, with "shlongs" hanging out in the woman's bathrooms... well we all have our kink I guess, but most of us don't try to legislate them.

Those people you're so afraid of are already hanging out in the men's room. Why must your lot argue from a place of inconsistent and illogical stances? They'll creep in on our women....but we don't care if they creep in on our little boys. You're aware your children are more likely to be sexually assaulted by a member of their own family than a transgendered individual in a public restroom, right?

Hormone therapy really restricts the little guy's use and reduces his size, so, I dunno. Doubt anything will be hanging out.

Protecting people's rights is bullshit overreach? Oh right, trans aren't people. My bad

dudes with shlongs are hanging out in the mens room? ummmmm of course they are THEY ARE FUCKING MEN. there is a reason why private areas have been split by gender for thousands of years. not every joe schmo with a blonde wig should be granted access into a woman's bathroom.

Edited for accuracy.
