It must be comforting to be able to blame the predjudice of others every time things don’t work out exactly as you would like. If she had not gotten the nomination, it would have been because of transphobia.
She did get the nomination, but was not invited to perform live, so transphobia. If she had both the nomination…

Perhaps the reason she wasn’t asked to perform is because the producers of the show don’t think having someone so unknown on their show would bring in any viewers. Money beats ism’s.

You know, just a thought, but Jezebel could opt to put is money where its mouth is and boycott the Oscars this year in terms of coverage of the event, red carpet, etc.

Now if only single women would vote with the same urgency as married women?

He thinks it’s funny for a straight man to wear a dress and a wig, to speak like a drunk baby, and to jump up and down with a limp wrist after seeing a friend.

They are not actually. Your misunderstanding the text. They are saying those are the things used to determine your gender at birth, not at the bathroom door. Thats the significance of the wordingm “used to determine at”. So whatever it says on your birth certificate, thats the bathroom you should use. Im not saying I…

Gender neutral bathrooms can work in some settings. I still wouldn’t want to share a gender neutral bathroom with my ex-boss who would constantly suggest that we should have “tube top” day, among other disrespectful and uncomfortable things that he said and did. Or with the campus police officer I’d spoken to all of…

I really don’t get this current obsession with trannies.

“chromosomes and anatomy as identified at birth”

I don’t know if this is the right space to put this, but I’m going to try anyway! I promise this isn’t an attempt to troll. This is my normal account on here, and I’m sincerely curious. What exactly is the big deal about this bill? It’s painted here as the worst thing in the world, but the outrage totally eludes me.…

“And “biological sex” means your assigned gender, essentially”

Gender neutral bathrooms throughout the spectrum seems very problematic Us men can be creeps. Now family bathrooms are awesome where it’s practically gender neutral.

“Aside from being fucked up and bullshit” - your opinion, Aimee, not fact. And I think most parents would disagree with you. I don’t need my boys having to deal with a confused young girl who wants to piss in the men’s room. Schools can create a private bathroom easily enough.

Serious question here. If there was a guy looking to make a point, what is preventing him from saying “today, I am a woman” and walking into the woman’s room, take a dump, and do whatever to make the women there feel uncomfortable? Swit ch the roles for fairness since there is more exposure in a males br.

I’m torn on this issue. I want the LGBT community to have all of the rights, but also think if you have a penis you should use a men’s room, and a vagina you should use a women’s room.

The underlying issue of it all is this: we need to stop men and boys from being a motherfucking threat to everybody. The fight to have ‘safe spaces’ from them might be less than if we taught boys not to be scary assholes in the bathroom.

In answer to your question on the federal statutes: they’re likely thinking of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. In 2013 (or 14) the Department of Education released a memo specifically stating that transgendered students are protected under title ix and forcing them to use a restroom that doesn’t…

Bathrooms were designed around the biology of sexes, not the mentality. That’s why you won’t find urinals in the women’s restroom.
This is not a transgender issue, its a facility designed around a person’s genitalia.

The term, biological sex, as used in this Act, means the physical condition of being male or female as determined by a person’s chromosomes and anatomy as identified at birth.

And “biological sex” means your assigned gender, essentially
