I
was struggling to find something to rant about this morning because I
was actually feeling all right with the world when I woke up today.
Less than 10 seconds on Facebook and I had my topic. This whole
transgender bathroom nonsense. So far as I can tell, we have Bruce
Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Pearl Jam and two Disney
drones canceling concerts in North Carolina and Mississippi; Paypal
abandoning a proposed Charlotte office; a new Hulu show relocating
its filming location away from Charlotte NC. That's a pretty hefty
response in terms of media coverage. In addition, there is a boycott
of Target by people who think they are encouraging sexual predators
by being open to transgender folks using their bathrooms.
Now,
I may be wrong here, but I don't really think sexual predators
actually care about laws. They are after all deviants in the true
sense of the word. Keep in mind here that I am not talking about
transgender, transvestite, gay or lesbian folks as deviant. I am
talking about sexual predators and they come in every stripe (pardon
the pun). I have read about more Catholic Priests abusing little boys
and Evangelicals are the main source of cults these days, yet I don't
see any movement to keep them out of bathrooms. I am a firm believer
that most people want to simply be about their life with a minimum of
interference. I also believe that statement applies to everyone
whether his or her nether regions are what they were born with or had
installed.
The
main thing I want from most people is their silence, or even
better, their absence. I want peace and quiet to read my books,
listen to my music, and try to write my endless succession of first
chapters.
Whatever
your personal preference in plumbing, it is exactly that: your
personal preference. I have had it with the government getting
involved with personal choices. I could understand if it was actually
a question of public safety, but when was the last time you heard of
a young Christian boy being beaten to death by a gang of trannies?
The opposite happens more frequently.
This
really all boils down to white male Christians who think their tiny
penises are in huge demand and are afraid of getting groped in the
toilet (which they secretly want to happen anyway). Face it John Q.
Public, nobody really wants to handle your junk. Get over it and move
on to something that actually matters.
Nuff
Said.
I totally forgot to comment on this last time I was here. Tis an issue I am close to as I know work with and am friends with several trans people. Never have I see a set of people so misaligned and misrepresented in the media. Ridiculous. Your post was spot on.
