So I'm projecting my fear of trans people?
You're projecting your fear of the other side and your emotional investment in the issue.

Just for the record, this is about as credible as me suddenly declaring, "why some of my best friends are black". They're not, nor are they ever likely to be. Nor am I likely to start listening to rap music. It's not that I haven't been exposed. That garbage pours out of the cars on my block, as the social entitlement children pass bags of drugs into the windows. The vast majority is racist pandering on the part of the record companies, and yes, every 10th word, (give or take) is n******..I'm not allowed to act like that, or speak like that, or now it would seem, to think like that. So, black people in America already have some special rights, which if the shoe were on the white foot, you would be pissing and moaning endlessly about.No you were right I am black man, but I am straight, and I have transgender friends who I care about (pause for the heathen eyeroll), and I believe in their rights. If I was troll then I would start off with "you red state blah blah blah blah" but I'm not willing to stoop down to name calling.
Nor will it stop me from rebutting it...., vigorously.Yes I have noticed this site's user base is conservative in nature (from some of the comments), but I do like the articles that it posts, which are for the most part neutral and the layout is much nicer on the eyes then toms hardware or anandtech. Just because the users are conservative won't stop me from posting my opinion (you should know this by now)..

I avoid public restrooms if possible. Before I thought it was just because I have hangups. Now, you've managed to validate my fears, and turn them into the reality of a transgender freak show.
The nonsense you're spouting about "rights", is a squeaky wheel croaking for special treatment. "I'm not a man, I'm a woman". Really who wants to listen to listen to this stupid s***, on a daily basis? We like to think the we were given the "gift of reason". I'm beginning to think of it as curse and a tool used for the sole purpose of annoying others.
Now it would seem we have to endure the legend of "Supergirl", brutalized to placate black TV watchers Jimmy Olsen is now black, and Supergirl is tripping over herself trying to get his attention. The ratings are failing, and as much as I love serial sci-fi, I wouldn't be too disappointed if it were cancelled.
Like I posted earlier, you stand little to no chance of ever changing my, or anyone else's mind here about your, "dire causes", Thus, your SJW efforts would be better served by slapping on a pair of silk panties and black fishnets, and marching with "your friends" and "those with causes you care about", into the first women's room where you can get a news camera to follow you.

So are the societies pictured in the "Hunger Games" and "Idiocracy". In fact, we're about halfway there. That doesn't mean I'll think they're a good idea, ever."The squeaky wheel gets the oil"
Oh I know wont change your mind, I'm not here to change minds, just state my opinion as you have "elegantly" done yourself. but if it helps I'm willing to buy you a pair of earmuffs or sound canceling headphones? You seem to like turning things into a race issue, I see this more as general social issue, but if that's were you want to get hung up, alright then. I get it you don't like black people, that's fine. I don't like cabbage, but I'm not going to turn this into I hate cabbage ramble.
But I'm curious now, you keep bring me up wearing stockings and panties. It's funny because I'm straight and not a cross dresser but you seem to keep picturing me as one. If you want to use me in your fantasies, I can give you a picture that you can Photoshop all the panties and nylons if you want or do you have an Amazon wishlist I can contribute to if you want some of your own ladies unmentionables?
Anyways as my original post said, it's alright for you to go out kicking screaming (keep your dignity), but change is inevitable.

And by taking the keys out of your car you are minimizing the chances of it being stolen. People can take your car without the keys, but by taking the keys you make it less convenient. Same way with keeping restrooms segregated. It makes things less convenient for the perpetrator and much more easily to prosecute if they were not in a room they should have been in. There is a reason the boys and girls sign has been used all these years This new generation transgender **** is no exclusion.I hate to say this because I believe you do care about the women in your life but currently a man (or a woman) could walk in without a wig and makeup and commit assault.

To reiterate, I'll argue as long as you like. but you still won't stand a chance of instituting the "social change", you espouse so vigorously
I still think your interests would be better served by, "ungrowing a pair", so to speak, and let some rookie journalist follow you around with a camera into, "women's beds, bathrooms, and behinds". Whoops, I meant "beyonds".
CODA: Music is always about race. It's about heritage, values, and emotions. So, I don't see how you can bring up "rap", and not expect to precipitate a discussion about race. But you knew that.

I could have embraced this tranny show decades ago on North Broad St. in Philly. The sidewalk was littered with cross dressing "hookers", eagerly awaiting you to stop so they could mug you.
As Bruce Springsteen put it (then), "his country side's burning with wolf man fairies, dressed in drag for homicide". Given that, I can't completely grasp why the senile old fart is suddenly cancelling concerts so as to protest laws that would allow them into the bathroom with his wife or his sister.
@damnthereaper BTW, you never did tell me how you were going to rush out and buy an "Eluviete" album. "Nightwish" maybe? How about "Within Temptation, "Epica", or even "Lacuna Coil"? I mean it's not a race thing, right?

It's always amusing how people use this phrase. "Change is inevitable" as if the pendulum only swings in one direction.
The U.S. is more divided than it has been since the Civil War (Europe also being very divided). Progressives insist on importing millions of people (Muslims) who aren't progressive, who have higher birth rates than progressives and despise gays, can't stand blacks (Mid-East Muslims and "Mexicans"), and who violently oppose progressive social norms...but the progs are going to win 10-15 years down the road.
It's like watching someone build a house right on top of an active volcano and brag that detractors are jealous of the view.

outside of Prohibition, when has it failed?
(increasing rights to groups of people wo feel oppressed I.e. minorities, women, homosexuals, forigners)
I think the key here is to "get in touch with our feelings", and learn to determine the difference between "feeling oppressed", "being oppressed", and "being given an inch, then trying to take a mile". I honestly don't think you have that aspect of social responsibility worked out yet.Well when it comes to social progressiveness (increasing rights to groups of people wo feel oppressed I.e. minorities, women, homosexuals, forigners) in America, outside of Prohibition, when has it failed?
Of that array, my least favorite is Hendrix. I just never got him. And it's not because he was black. His music lacked high end "spit", and ceremony. Both of which I consider fundamentally necessary.Well I kind of like Lacuna Coil (I do like their cover of Enjoy the Silence) but never really got into them. Now if you start talking Mastodon, Crack the Skye is one of my favorite albums of all time. Five Finger Death Punch and Bullet for My Valentine are some of my other favoirtes (Does Brendon Small count as metal? If he does then there's another). I also listen to Nirvana, Imagine Dragons, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and I've really been getting into the revivalists lately. Just because I'm black doesn't mean I don't listen to other music outside of rap. I have the opposite belief that music can be universal.
You'll never stop trying to bring me over to the dark side will you? (Oh c'mon, that was funny). In any case, as much as I plan to agree with, is the fact that media propaganda has managed to sweep those aspects of homosexuality in general, under the rug. Or dare I say it, "whitewashed"...!Again it sounds like you've met a very small amount of black people and trans-gendered. It's not Rocky horror show, if that's what your going to pull your basis from then, ok.
No, it gets filed under "amateur".If I'm the one holding the camera in the women's bedroom does that count as journalism? Because if that's the case, I may have some Pulitzer winning material.
This is absurd that everyone must comply because one is having an identity crisis. That only serves as a catalyst for identity crisis in many more people.
It's different. The bible also advocates moral ideals that, let's be honest, can be pretty dated. It's a pretty simplistic (and patently false) argument to say because the bible is being banned equates to not taking morals that are in the bible as useful in society. Our society is a lot smarter than that. Society also should move faster on morality than sticking to a dated book that had a main purpose of keeping the ignorant to moral and societal standards.This is the most hilariously stupid comment I have read on the subject. Virtually every common law on the (Western) books is derived from Biblically-informed moral principles. You're literally advocating for a lawless state.
Edit for the wise guy who points out western civ came first: Hyperboly.
Ironically not understanding the purpose of the Bible is ignorance. And you just demonstrated you don't.Society also should move faster on morality than sticking to a dated book that had a main purpose of keeping the ignorant to moral and societal standards.
Why do I need to understand the purpose you are told for a fictional book? It is written by man for the purpose of making you think like a group of people who also read the book. There is literally no way you can prove me wrong on that.Ironically not understanding the purpose of the Bible is ignorance. And you just demonstrated you don't.
Here's where I think it might do you some good to pick on a practicing atheist your own size, namely me.Why do I need to understand the purpose you are told for a fictional book?

Some parts of the bible are relevant today, some of it is abstract and metaphor, and a big chunk of it is just plain bulls***, primarily the entire New Testament.It's purpose was more relevant in the middle ages when people were united for a purpose - to fight against another group of people who had their own book. The entire proof about the words in the bible are unverifiable. It is based on faith. You find me the author of the bible and we can have a chat about what was meant in the book.
Speak for yourself. Some people wallow in faith, yet have no moral fiber. And some believe Jesus will forgive you no matter what crimes you commit. So, to a certain extent the Bible contributes to amorality.Modern society
1) Does not need faith for morality.
Here's where you're 100+% wrong. The Old Testament gave us the 10 commandments, which are the cornerstone of modern jurisprudence. So, you're correct in that we don't need "A book" to be nice to one another, we need law libraries full of them.2) Does not need a book to tell us how to be good to each other.
Allegedly, "language" is what makes us "human". The drawback is, we transmit scientific information from generation to generation at an alarming rate. We don't however, transmit moral knowledge well, if at all. Whether the Bible is a necessary component of reintroducing morality from one generation to the next is always going to be an issue of great contention. It can certainly help though, if used by someone competent enough to separate its wheat from its chaff, so to speak.Does not need the bible for education. Have a look at how much bible wisdom has been replaced by science-based knowledge. The bible exclusive knowledge is an extremely small pool and it has been evaporating for centuries. Such great theories like flat-earth, the sun revolves around the earth and many more golden moments. They are cute for fairytales but they have been proven wrong so let's move on from fairytales please.
Actually, nature & the evolutionary process should be dictating how whichever species.chooses a mate. It's I believe called, "the survival of the fittest". Me, you ask? I'm kind of hoping the entire next generation is homosexual, and the Chinese stop selling them children. I think we're running out of oil, and it's high time we gave the dinosaurs another shot at making more. After all, if we're to believe the alarmists about global warming, in a couple of decades, we'll have the planet warmed up to where they like it. And the grand prize will be, I'll no longer have to watch two dried up old lesbians sucking face on the evening news.If you need a modern book on morality, I'd start with a blank piece of paper. For a starter, christianity does not own marriage. Marriage pre-dates christianity. There is also no-one on this planet who has any right to tell anyone else who they should choose to be their partner. Religion likes to try to control marriage. They've done it for a while now.
Scandinavians never made the horrific blunder that was importing slaves from Africa either.
Bruce Springsteen is Born: September 23, 1949 (age 66)The Boss Bruce Springsteel still does concerts? Damn, the boy must be on the shady side of 80 thesedays.
FWIW, 66.7 is 83% of 80. So he's damned close to 80, damned close indeed!Bruce Springsteen is Born: September 23, 1949 (age 66)
