Let me rephrase that: North Carolina could, in part, be passing this bill for medical reasons.


Then that would make them more stupid than I thought they were.

They could, in part, be passing this bill to hide their latent homosexual desires or desires of bathroom rape.

* A fourteen year old virgin impregnated by a flu-shot
* A serial killer in a slaughter house.

They generate these stories for attention and ad revenue :)

The reasons you offer are utterly absurd, there is no possible medical issue here. But politicians are sometimes stupid about that sort of thing, so maybe some of them do believe that, somehow, trans people will spread disease.

However, since you cannot find any politicians claiming that this bill was passed for medical reasons, I can only conclude that they are your reasons.

To be fair, a lot of biology classes in US High Schools don't cover this stuff, and the health classes rarely do, and if they do, its usually that right-wing abstinence-only shit, with a heaping dose of fearmongering on the side.

Explain to me how saying someone - in this case, North Carolina's governor and state legislators - did something for the express purpose of taking a shit on a demographic group constitutes gratuitous foulmouthery? This ought to be good.

It is so difficult to get high quality fearmongering these days. So much of it is processed, with sugar and fats - but not tasty trans fats, of course, thanks FDA! - and salt, really, it just isn't very good.

I've been gone for the weekend for a backpacking trip, but I have returned to be here.

Immediately rolling in with the updates:

"I do believe in our high schools, in our middle schools, in our universities, we should continue to have the tradition that we've been having in this country for years. And we have a women's facility and a men's facility. You know, it's worked out pretty well. And I don't think we need any further government interference," Republican Gov. Pat McCrory said on "Meet the Press".


So government interference is okay when it's denying transgender people their rights to use the appropriate bathroom but it's not needed further when it is trying to grant those rights?

Cirque du Soleil has also cancelled their North Carolina shows
