Is That a Man in the Women's Bathroom?

WorldNetDaily has a disturbing article today. The article talks about a Maryland law that"arguably would allow coed locker rooms in public accommodations".

Here are some of the more disturbing quotes:

[Maryland Citizens for Responsible Government] said Leggett's signature on the law means even religious schools could be forced to hire transgender teachers "and then also allow cross-dressing but biological males in your daughters' school locker room."


"The county council frequently points out that the law excludes accommodations that are 'distinctly private and personal' – implying that 'distinctly private and personal' refers to bathrooms," the citizens protest group said.
However, "'distinctly personal and private' in similar state statutes is usually interpreted as referring to private clubs and associations, and not to bathrooms," said Susan Jamison, a lawyer from Poolesville.


Olivia St. John wondered about why such legislation was even considered, "particularly for a small segment of people described by the American Psychiatric Association as disordered?"
The answer? she found:"The Trasgen-der Law Center, or TLC – an organization dedicated to getting legal information into the hands of community members, attorneys, educators and others – designed a descriptive resource guide for transgender activists and their homosexual, lesbian and bisexual allies. The document, titled "Peeing in Peace," promotes "gender neutral restrooms" in all sectors of society. Not surprisingly, it was partially funded by Clinton supporter George Soros and the Tides Foundation, generously supported by Teresa Kerry, wife of Sen. John Kerry."


St. John continued, "The problem, according to TLC, is that many transgendered people have few safe places to go to the bathroom. They claim to 'get harassed … and arrested in BOTH women's and men's rooms.' One sufferer, who had clearly entered a restroom of the opposite sex, whined that he had been 'dragged out by security guards.'

"Amusingly, this sounds as if the fuss is over 'peeing rights,' or about who has the right to urinate where. But think again. Seriously consider that your child is likely to find transsexualism not only discussed but also actively practiced in his public school at some point," she said.

As WND reported, a resident, identified as "Lisa," wrote to her elected representative on the board: "From what I'm reading, the person with the gender identity confusion is being protected by what she or he FEELS he or she is. Thus, we'd have to protect this person's gender based upon what is in his or her MIND. So, if I'm in a bathroom all by myself late at night, and a man walks in, I am supposed to be okay with this? If I'm at a pool, in a women's locker room, and a man walks in – I'm supposed to be okay with this? This is truly unbelievable, and I'm embarrassed that Montgomery County is even spending its time on this piece of nonsense."

If you are against this and other such nonsense, please consider voting for and donating to Gov. Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign. If Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama are elected, we can expect to see this sort of thing on a national level.

Thinkaware,
It is an honor to have you visit my blog. Thanks for all you do for the Huckabee campaign.

I would be glad to comment,

Frankly, It doesn't surprise me at all. There aren't any real boundaries in Maryland when it comes to what is right or wrong as far as state elected officials are concerned. I see on a day-to-day basis, however, a different kind of liberalism here in Baltimore. Mainly union socialist indoctrination, telling people how to think, and taxing the life out of everyone.

Thanks for bringing some light on how ridiculous of a state government we have up here.

Well, the locker room incident appears to be a poorly executed publicity stunt by the Citizens for a Responsible Government, vice an organically occurring incident by an actual transgender person.

I guess it says something about Theresa Rickman and her organization that they'd knowingly deceive the public about how organic this incident was -- specifically in their having their planted man-in-a-skirt behave in direct contradiction to her and her organization's interpretation of Deuteronomy 22:5 and Genesis 1:27.

I can't imagine Jesus would approve of this kind of tacit deceit.
