I have previously
written about the following topic, but feel inclined to revisit it again.
There is a
popular trend among Politically Correct liberal society in America to solicit
“the powers that be” for “the rights” of so-called transgender students and
adults to use school and public restrooms of their choice; (rather than
according to the gender which nature assigned them at birth).
I grew up
during the tumultuous 60’s when the Civil Rights Movement was in “full swing.”
I remember the black and white water fountains and restrooms, and the white and
negro “separate, but equal” school system of that era. I was approaching
graduation when the first “sample” of African-American students were introduced
to my high school; 8 or 10 in all, and the best and brightest of the bunch. And
they had hardly walked across the threshold of my alma mater, and “gotten
started good” when I wondered “what the hoopla” was all about. I, for one,
detest the notion that many of my ancestors owned slaves, and profited by the
practice.
Be that as
it may, and though so-called trans-genders attempt to identify with the
inequities visited upon the black population of the past couple of centuries,
many fair-minded citizens of this great nation would “beg to differ.”
It seems
strange to me that the move to “integrate” formerly uni-gender bathrooms is
only as old as yesterday, when viewed in the light of the centuries- old
struggle of people of color to claim the rights guaranteed them by the
Constitution.
Throughout the
course of the almost seven decades I have lived on this planet there was never
any thought or consideration for allowing a male to stroll into a female
bathroom or a female to darken the door of a male bathroom. Had I, as a high
school student, stepped into the girl’s bathroom or locker room, I would have
been expelled, and might have been remanded to a juvenile facility.
Where are
the rights of the majority? Since when does the (less than) 1 percent dictate
something of such a fundamental, private nature to the 99 percent? (A
significant percentage, if the truth be known, will prefer to “hold it” than place
themselves in the company of the genetically opposite gender in the confines of
a public bathroom).
What are we
to do with the sensibilities of our girls and women when so-called transgender females,
(and perhaps pretenders) walk into what has ‘til now been their private
sanctum? And what of the girls and women, who for lack of comfortability with
the anatomy with which they were born, decide to use the male bathroom?
Has any
consideration been given to the safety of both the majority and minority, if
and when transgender restrooms become the law of the land? What of the shouts
for justice when a so-called transgender female assaults a biological female in
her own bathroom? What will be the repercussions when a so-called transgender
male is raped in the process of utilizing the men’s restroom?
The
so-called LGBT Community, ACLU, CNN, etc. are, as I write this blog, actively promoting an
agenda which goes far beyond a consideration for equity. These and other liberal
organizations are all about the slow, and steady dismemberment of the rights of
the majority; in exchange for whatever cause is deemed Politically Correct at
the time.
