I'm too late to join the party, ohhhh.... :`(

Wow. I'm almost in awe at the people who had the guts to produce and air that. Those people have elevated Poe's Law to an artform.

Oh yes, and I found this amusing little piece of history surrounding that episode from Wikipedia.

Dirty Tauto :P

Here we go again, more people who I bet aren't trans making this about trans people.

And repeating the same crap that has been refuted before in this same thread.

I wonder why none of you are even open to the possibility of sorting the trans issue another way that doesn't put children in danger.

It's either this or nothing, & you're willing to throw the largest, most defenceless percentage of th population t the hyenas jus so you can post on twitter or facebook how "tolerant" you are.

Makes me proud to be human.

I've never seen the Earth from orbit either, does that make me unqualified to say it's round?

You are doing this. Stop. This (non) issue does not, in any way, shape or form put children in danger.

How about we put all children in special camps and don't let them out till they are 21 years old? Do you think we should put their mothers in those camps as well? Might be better...

You're forbidding people from using bathrooms based on their gender identity. How is that not against trans people? It's like an Intelligent Design advocate insisting that they're not a Creationist.

And no, for the record, I'm not trans. (But I have a friend who is.) How does that in any way invalidate what we've been saying? What about you? Have you taken the time to talk to a trans person (or even someone in the greater LGTBQ community) about why it's so important for them?

I can see where your fear is grounded and where it comes from -- namely, the safety and security of your 14-year old daughter. I can even empathize to a degree. But what if it was one of your children who was transgender, and vexed by this issue? Could you put yourself in the shoes of another parent with a son or daughter who was transgender? Could you put yourself in their son or daughter's shoes?

Indulging in trans panic hysteria is not "refuting" anything.

Oh, how snarky. What does that have to do with what I said?

A more fitting comparison would be when white Americans threw a hissy fit about the Redskins name & how offensive it was to Native Americans, when all the while over 90% of the Native Americans never gave a toss about it.

Why is it always white people speaking on behalf of other cultures & minorities?

But sure go ahead & be snarky about something that can be easily verified by looking a the ocean's horizon line.

I bow in awe of your cleverness.

Feel free to back up that statement whenever you can.

I'll be here waiting.

Yeah, but all of that came from the 10%. :D

So, you're going for the "I have a x friend" routine? Classy.

It's very likely that I've talked with more trans people & other minorities than you have, and not just for the trophy claim. I mean real talks abou several issues, including & especially topics other than those pertaining to them.

They're real people with real opinions, you know? They don't need you to speak for them.

Also, please stop sexualizing children. This is exactly what I fear & you're doing it.

Perhaps we would all feel safer with a crack volunteer squad of able-bodied men willing to police women's bathrooms and charge into them at the slightest suspicion that someone entering may not be a woman.

Are you a child? If not, why are you speaking on behalf of children?

Or maybe, just maybe, one doesn't have to be someone else to grasp the notion that abusing that someone else is bad?
