SJWs, Trannies and Trigger Warnings- the left is eating itself
I'm a liberal gay man in his early 40s. Got outed in small town America as a teenager and never looked back. Traveled the world, got new perspectives, got laid and paid...and "retired" back home. The change in social attitudes, especially towards gays, had changed 100%.
Then came Caitlyn, and trigger warnings, and "PC run amok".
In just a few years the attitude has shifted. Not just towards gays, or even Transgender or Muslims or immigrants- but towards those who blindly want to force everyone to accept change at the same rate. It took 20 years for me to get married in front of my redneck family, and now I will not lose that because of some boy with issues and a dick wants to use the same bathroom as my little girl cousin.
So, the big family crisis (which I was ambivalent towards until recently) is a kid who wants to use the girls locker room. "She" looks she-ish, but is a man. "She" has been allowed to dress as a girl, and "she" has claimed the locker rooms are hostile. Like Justin Beiber, but more manly.
HELLO--- they were hostile 25 years ago when I was a budding gay, and it wasn't easy on ANY of my straight freshman buddies either.
My family is 100% against it- if you have a penis, you are a boy- and they've asked me to be part of the committee that wants to mediate. I don't want to, at all, but I will say that I am with my family on this.

The Gays are responsible for all the "anti-bullying" bullshit.

Is the tranny someone who is also part of your family, OP? Let them know that if the locker rooms are "hostile" the tranny can use whatever facilities there are for handicapped people, but please stand up for the girls and their right to have a locker room for themselves.
Agree 100% about this being the left eating itself.

Gosh, I wonder if you're white?
The thing is, let's not pretend they were ready for "gay" either. THINK of how things might have been different if families of origin used their power as heterosexuals to give a shit in the least about their gay sons and nephews and grandsons and raised their fucking voices and used their access to power to fucking make something happen.
I lived through that period, did you? Did you also have relatives who said the Oscars was neither the time nor the place for Sarandon and Roth to tell the world that people with AIDS were being detained in Guantanamo, because the very notion of gay men made everybody uncomfortable?
So I came out of that thinking, you know what? I don't give a shit if the hetero majority is rendered uncomfortable. Everything interesting makes the heater majority uncomfortable.
Fuck them and fuck the family you agree with.

R3-
No, my cousin is XX female. The person that wants access to her locker room is XY "female" with a penis.
"She" is not bullied. The teachers and students have protected her, encouraged her, but draw the line at letting her use the female lockers. Faculty have volunteered to monitor the boy locker room to protect her. My cousin was friends with her, but "the penis" was too much for the lockers.

The "left" isn't left anymore. It's SJWs, T, pro-extremist Muslim, tweeting race-division (not working on positive solutions), quinoa and trivia and don't forget your support dog
It should be about fighting the 1%, stopping the 30 years of wage stagnation, bring jobs and industry back from outsourcing, fighting real estate profiteers that do not even live in the country, stopping the destruction of cities and towns, clean environment, universal healthcare, clean environment, bringing society up, not down, people working together for positive change

[quote]It should be about fighting the 1%,
The 0.1% get their money from government contacts and contracts. Reduce government power, reduce their influence, and you reduce the power of the elite.
[quote]stopping the 30 years of wage stagnation,
Created by central banks.
[quote]bring jobs and industry back from outsourcing,
Outsourcing due to "trade agreements" and "treaties"- maybe real free trade doesn't need government approval?
[quote]fighting real estate profiteers that do not even live in the country,
They are moving money to the USA to protect it from their government. How ironic.
[quote]stopping the destruction of cities and towns,
By ending welfare? All for it!
[quote]clean environment, universal healthcare, clean environment, bringing society up, not down, people working together for positive change
Blah blah blah. Typical socialist idiot.

Wrong again. Nobody is complaining about being made "uncomfortable." This is about teens - or a sixty-something smart-ass former athletes - who are attention whores and simply want to be treated as "special" as they believe themselves to be.

Everyone, shush! As a country we always go through the growing pains of extremes. Eventually the pendulum swings to the center-then we hit up our next charge
That's how we grow, that's how we change.

I agree. I haven't watched in 10 years, but the raves (and raping to death of The Donald) convinced me to watch.
Funniest, most incisive and insightful social commentary on TV today.

"Gosh, I wonder if you're white? "
Gosh, we wonder why you snidely attack someone for inplied "cis white priv" etc, then cower behind an anonymous website while elsewhere while either
A) pretending not to be white to seem a suffering minority, or
B) wear your race like a crown of thorns while blaming others for your problems and faults.
Wait, no one wonders about you or your opinions.

OP here.
There is no more case. The T student has withdrawn. It's impossible not to feel sad for her.
It's not over, though. The parents involved the notified the USDoEd, and now the OCR has an investigation pending. The administration is resigned- they want to remodel the locker rooms- but a few parents are still pissed. The loss of funding via Title IX violation is not an option.
In a few years, when this happens again and the school is already prepared, I suspect it will be a non issue.

So the school wants to create gender neutral locker rooms, R27? As we saw with the case of Lilah - she with the giant swinging dong - gender neutral bathrooms do not cut it. They refuse to be "excluded".

R28-
I don't want to fight it. I was just someone to translate the bullshit, and help with the argument.
The locals have laid down their pitchforks, the student is gone, and the board wants zero fuss. If I ever have to explain how Title IX works to anyone else ever again I will print out a guideline.
To the credit of some of the kids, they were freaked out that "she" is not coming back, and the general mood has been that they misjudged.
I am (no longer) of that POV. If you have a Y chromosome, you are a boy.
I hope they shut down all public schools before the issue ever comes back up.

Okay, R28. Im still not sure what you were saying about the school wanting to remodel the locker rooms and this being a "non issue" in the future.

Make the changing rooms totally private. Nobody uses the showers, so private changing stalls and private toilets (in both gender) built sometime in the future. A gym attendant is already mandatory.

Why does a penised person insist on changing and showering and peeing with non-penised persons?
You don't see non-penised persons wanting to shower or pee with penised persons.
