Toilets again

In a previous blog I wrote about the legislation in Kentucky that would award students $2,500 if they reported on a transgender student using what in reality is actually their proper restroom. The bill would have students spying on each other, or just making any kid’s life miserable by making the charge, spreading the word about it, and setting  that kid up for bullying for the rest of his or her time at that school.

Just like with erroneous articles in newspapers that appear prominently on the first few pages, but whose corrections are hidden somewhere in the bowels of the next edition, once a kid is reported to be “one of them”, no matter how much the truth is explained, the accusation lives on.

It would be a new form of bullying.

Heck, an enterprising student could even push a cisgender kid into the wrong bathroom so they could accuse him or her of attempting to use the wrong restroom so they could claim they were traumatized and get the reward.

In the old days, the only joy to a swirly was intrinsic to the act of giving it. The action was it own reward. But now, there would be money to be made.

Even here in Massachusetts, when a Transgender equality bill was under consideration, there were some legislators who were concerned about restroom use.

Guess which lavatory obsessed party they were members of?

In Florida, this obsession with bathrooms over people’s well being has raised its head again as a Republican state legislator has introduced a bill that would prohibit transgender people from using facilities that correspond to their gender identities.

He is afraid that allowing a Transgender person to use the proper restroom would lead to sexual assault and violations of privacy.

In Kentucky it seems there is no fear of the violation of privacy as kids are encouraged to peak into the stalls or lean over so they can look down into an adjoining urinal.

Representative Frank Artiles’s bill claims to “secure privacy and safety for all individuals using single-sex public facilities” such as restrooms, locker rooms, and fitting rooms.

A post-operative transgender person would be required to use the facilities not in accordance with their sexual identity. So men would have to use the ladies’ room and ladies the men’s.

Seems the Representative is little more than slightly confused.

Using the “wrong” restroom could result in civil penalties for the individual, and civil action against operators of public accommodations who follow trans-inclusive policies.

Would it surprise anyone that the fear that transgender people would use Transgender inclusive policies to commit sex crimes or otherwise violate the rights of other facility users is promoted by groups like the Family Research Council, media outlets like Fox News, and politicians like Mike Huckabee, while law enforcement officials, sexual assault victims’ advocates, and civil rights commission employees in states that protect gender identity attest that the fear has no basis in fact?

States like Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, and, Vermont, along with municipalities like Cambridge, Massachusetts with inclusive laws and ordinances have had no instances of what these people are fixated on.

It’s almost like they are hoping for it to happen.

Contrary to the promoted idea that it will be the Transgender people committing assaults, they are generally the victims of them, probably because people are misled by the ignorant politicians, religious leaders, bigoted organizations, and media outlets, like talk radio and Fox.

But you don’t need facts to claim the moral high ground, or that you are doing the “Lord’s work”.
