Obama's Transgender Guidance

deletedover 8 years

Obama forcing schools to let trans people use the bathroom and LOCKER ROOMS of their self identified gender, less they stop getting funding.

Is the Obama administration over stepping boundaries?

I identify as toast. Is there a toast dressing room?

EDIT: Oh, and in addition, the cutting of funding is absolutely overstepping boundaries. The federal government has no right to do that, that should be up to each state's legislature.


Wouldn't the US Government be the ones to decide what to do with federal funding and not states.

EpicMafia polls are for trolling. Please do not make a poll that does not have any funny answers. The obviously correct choice in any poll is the funniest one and we can't do that with a yes or no question. This has been a PSA.

Quick, before I skim through this thread, can someone tell me if it's as offensive as I think it is?

I dunno, read my post on the last page and tell me if that's offensive. It doesn't mean to be, but I imagine that's the nature of the OP.

i think it's probably more complicated to teach a kid why we should systematically oppress people than it is to tell that than trans people exist.


oppression is probably a stretch

The idea behind it applies to all countries, not just America.

I like to imagine Sirius is out there somewhere, banging a woman he doesn't even love.

I'm not going to read over every page, but this isn't a very black and white situation by any means.

I think pro LGBT people are just going to brush people off way too quickly for being against this, and assert that everyone need be accepting of transgendered folk and whatnot, but there are a lot of things which need to be considered.

1) A child is way too young to have to ask their mother why they saw the genitalia of the opposite sex in gym class, and then be expected to try to understand the sensitive nature which surrounds it.

2) Peers may feel threatened, confused, inconsiderate, etc, and as a result this could potentially ostracise a transgendered child to the point of social disharmony and/or bullying.

3) It's possible that this sort of integration could happen at a young enough age for it to skew a child's views on sex as a whole, as their first ever experience of witnessing opposite genitalia would occur before they even grasp the basic understanding of sex. Not only that, and this isn't supposed to be insensitive, but a heterosexual child may establish irrational doubts about their own persuasion.

4) Parental backlash towards schools will be absolutely huge.

With that being said, I don't really have a solution. I think this is very sensitive by nature, and I can understand why it's happening, but at the same time I think it's going to be fraught with problems.
