You know what is weird in the context of the above post Rich? You and I almost certainly agree on the impropriety of biological boys who present as girls using the girls facilities. We both think it is a bad idea. No RINO that I know has ever posted anything like; "no big deal, because they're already in the bathrooms and you just don't know it..." I doubt anyone who is a Democrat, who posts here on the forum, has ever said anything like that. The above statement and more importantly, the implications of your post, up to and including that me or any of my D friends would condone or facilitate rape is at best a figment of your imagination.
I personally am not sure what Rod, James, Brian, Jim M., Greg, Mel, or anyone else who posts here, thinks about trans-girls using the girls restroom or locker in high schools. This is a contentious issue. I can guarantee you that none of these folks, no matter how left wing they might be, condone rape. Most of these guys, being middle-aged men, are probably as strongly opposed to having most biological boys in the girls locker rooms as you or I are. (I say most, because I'm OK with a surgically altered trans-girl being in the girl's locker room, if there are only two choices. Where else would she be safe?)
Nonetheless, you post this issue with strong language directed as an indictment to all of us who are RINOS or at least moderately left wing... as if rape is something we condone or something we facilitated with our political positions. Your post is insulting and dishonest to the core of course, but also it pretty much squelches any discussion. I guess shutting off conversation is your prerogative, but seriously - this is a discussion forum. Do you ever want to discuss anything?

Exactly. I'm not even sure what the point was in the first place. Maybe that gender-fluid or trans criminals might be as bad as heterosexual criminals?? Just something to focus some outrage on anyone left of him I suppose.
