ORIGINAL: Greta75
Issue One - Trumps Brand New Deportation Plan will deport any illegal Aliens that has committed any crime.
This is a fantastic plan! Makes perfect sense to me. He said he wanna go after the criminals. So if crime commited, then back to their countries they go! Good plan!
But he is also planning to allow children to stay, children who illegally immigrated to US as a child to stay. Which is fair and compassionate.
Yeah... Not even ready to go there.

Issue Two - Trump bringing back decision of toilets to the states
I've been thinking about this whole transgender issue.
My advice? Think more.
quote:
I am honestly NOT comfortable with men allowed in the female toilet, even if they identify as women. Because, how do you know they aren't just horny teenage boys taking advantage of that to be peeping toms in female toilets? OR are they genuine transgenders?
Because the cities and states that have passed such legislation that allow people to use the restroom according to the gender that they identify as, haven't had a single case in YEARS about anybody who identified as trans* a week prior to their arrest. The fear mongering hasn't been proven in any way, except for those folks out to prove "this is what a trans* person could do".
quote:
We are allowing men into female toilets just to protect a minority who identify as women. What about protecting majority of teenage women from naughty teenage boys who will abuse this rule?
No. We're not allowing "Men" into female restrooms. We are allowing women into women's bathrooms.
Cite ONE case. Just ONE of where somebody who really identified as trans* in their day to day life, sexually assaulted someone.
quote:
I still think the best solution is to have a third bathroom specially for LGBT community. So you have Male, Female, LGBT bathrooms.
A part of me thinks so, too. Potentially, it would stop the fear mongering and trans* gendered hatred tactics.
On the other hand, it also means that we concede to the same. On a certain level, we stop treating humans like humans. We have bathrooms for people and then we have something for those we consider sub-human.
And, it won't stop there. Shall we go back to things like separate drinking fountains? Who can sit at a lunch counter?
quote:
Problem solved.
No. No, it's not. It's acquiescing to YOUR problem. YOUR, personal, unrealized fear is YOURS. You don't get to inflict your unsubstantiated fear on other people.
quote:
All this people fighting for the right of male to use the female bathroom is kinda not at all thinking about the safety of females.
Again, you are fear mongering.
quote:
They are only thinking of the safety of these effeminate males.
Bullshit.
The truth of the matter is that more trans* people get assaulted for using the "wrong" restroom than any cis-gendered person EVER, has EVER, been assaulted in a public bathroom by anyone who actually identifies as trans.
Go ahead. Prove me wrong.
quote:
The solution is third bathroom.
And I have a solution for this as well. IF a shopping mall or a school has 4 storeys with 2 bathroom per storey. And they just want to save cost and not build a whole additional bathroom.
Simple.
Level 1 (Female and LGBT)
Level 2 (Male and Female)
Level 3 (Female and LGBT)
Level 4 (Male and Female)
Sorted.
While I dislike this theory in general, (see my above comment about humans and sub-humans) this is damn difficult.
I can tell you as a cis-gendered woman, I'm not running how many levels of a mall to find the proper place to pee. My need to urinate is not determined by what bits I was born with. If I gotta go, I gotta go.
And, what will you say when your taxes go up in your government buildings because we have to implement these 'third' toilets? When the prices go up because the small business owner has to hire plumbers and contractors to install additional facilities? Are you willing to pay more for the food you buy, the clothes you shop for????
quote:
I am giving Females bathroom in every floor because I don't know how it works in the US, but in Singapore, Female bathrooms always have the longest queue. It often takes my male friends 5 minutes to use theirs, and I can queue for 30 minutes to use a female bathroom in our malls.
Yeah it's the same in the US. It's a stalls vrs urinal thing.
quote:
So I think female hog the bathroom the longest.
Nah. It's a 'time needed' thing.
If I go to use a restroom, I'm just plain going to take longer. Even just unzipping my pants, pulling them down, squatting, relieving myself, wipe, pull my garments back up... I'm just plain going to take longer. (We won't even discuss the additional time required if I have to deal with feminine products.) It's not the same as a urinal.
quote:
And LGBT, we need to see volume first. I am still assuming they are minority.
LGB and especially T, are the minority. From everything I've read, we're looking at one to three percent of the population.
You don't need to see "volume". You need to see humans.
Chances are, you've been in public restrooms with trans* people and you never knew it.
So, let's talk about Trump and his willingness to hand this issue over to the states...
Do you even know how shady the North Carolina legislature was about this? The state took away the will of the cities and counties. They dick slammed in 'special session'. That bill was on the floor and passed in less than a day.
HB2 is the shame of North Carolina.
