North Carolina Passes "Anti-LGBT" Bill

[Philjia]

I’m proud that i helped elect the men who passed this bill

Why? Its pro-discrimination, pro-rape, and pro-murder. No person should be in favor of this bill.

Unless they're "edgy".

[Kannap]

Boy I hope we elect all these fools out of office in November

I'd point out, though, that your Attorney General did decide to uphold his Oath of Office (incidentally, North Carolina has some really fucked up laws about oaths) and declined to defend the law.

That was an update that I posted in this thread the day that it happened.

I recall somebody making a good point about when it's that Kim Davis woman denying marriage licenses to same sex couples, the Republicans say it's her religious freedom. When the NC Attorney General does his job by upholding the constitution, the Republicans demand he do he job to defend the law.

because obviously the gonads produce the hormones of the sex they end up maturing into which affect the brain in the manner of the hormones in question, and never have chromosomal abnormalities.
obviously non-cis non-46-chromosome people don't exist and even if they do they are abominations.
obviously.

No. No point was made. Pseudoscientific bullshit was spewed, and you got called on it.

The good thing is that the Democrats will be taking back the state government. We have a long history of being extremely disappointed whenever we give Republican leaders a chance in the state and then just elect Democrats for the next 40 years.

Hopefully human political behavior is predictable this year.

[Kannap]

North Carolina is now my favourite state.

I mean, North Carolina is still my favorite state because I have lived here my entire life, but I am entirely angered at the Governor and the General Assembly and expect Democrats to sweep the state come November.

Before you said that, I had exactly twenty-seven fucks. Know how many I have now?

Twenty-seven. Because I don't give a single fuck about being nice to bigots.

Last time a Republican governor was elected before McCrory was some guy back in the 1980s. In the last 115 years, the state has only seen four Republican governors elected.

Impressive record. But I take the theory of induction cautiously when speaking of humans in the US in the time of Trump. I'm not sure how far the reaction against "ebil politishun" will extend but if the Democrats exploit it, perhaps they can do something with it other than be a legitimized mob of fuckwads, like the Trumpists.

1. Of course you don't, since you know nothing about the issue, as you've already demonstrated.

2. This bill does nothing to protect anybody's privacy. In fact, it actively harms transgender people's privacy, and puts us at real risk of being beaten, raped, and even killed.

3. Define "help" and "coddling".

It helps to protect the privacy of men and women in spaces that are specifically exclusive to them. A man is not supposed to use the women's locker room and vice versa and it is a violation of people's privacy when the locker room, restroom, or other space that is supposed to be exclusive to their own sex is allowed to be used by people of the opposite sex.

Transgender people need "help" as in "medical and psychological help." They have a mental disorder that is being left untreated - actually, even worse, their delusions are being encouraged and reinforced. The search for actual solutions to gender identity disorder has halted, or at the very least greatly slowed, because the left thinks that THE solution is to encourage them to dive deeper into their disorder-induced delusions, which is only resulting in the extremely high suicide rate among transgender people and trouble for the rest of us.

It's a deviation from the norm that can impair a person's ability to live a happy life. That sounds like a disorder to me. Of course, we can't cure it or control it like other mental disorders, at least not in an ethical way. However, while we can't reshape the mind, bodies are much more malleable, so we tackle the problem from that side.

Key word being can. In order to actually be a disorder, it MUST have a demonstrable negative impact on the person's quality of life. That's why the DSM-V changed from diagnosing all trans people as mentally ill, to only diagnosing those of us with gender dysphoria as mentally ill.

Not surprising, given your unfunny transphobic sig.

Oh, and a preemptive "TRIGGERED!!!!!", because I love being a killjoy.

North Carolina is now my favourite state.

A state implementing an impractical, harmful, grossly ignorant piece of legislation that discriminates and puts an already very vulnerable minority at further risk makes it your favourite?

[Traditionalism]

Well, I'm glad for North Carolina. I hope to see more of this in the future.

[Liriena]

One of the symptoms can be that they wish to build a reality that suits them, with unbreakable laws that can't be changed. "I am a women on the inside" because it helps them cope with reality. I'm being completely serious here, perhaps not all of them, since I worded that comment badly (Phone) but that's what honestly comes to mind when I hear all about this and that about it. And I mean, it's not the only symptom one can observe.

Am I wrong in guessing you are not an actual psychiatrist, psychologist or neurologist?

[Grenartia]

Well, I'm glad for North Carolina. I hope to see more of this in the future.

Why?

[Traditionalism]

Well, I'm glad for North Carolina. I hope to see more of this in the future.

Why?

Well, because I support the bill, of course. Why else?

[Major-Tom]

Well, I'm glad for North Carolina. I hope to see more of this in the future.

Why?

I mean, presumably because he is anti-LGBT. Not that he's right, of course.

[Liriena]

Well, I'm glad for North Carolina. I hope to see more of this in the future.

Why? What exactly does this bill accomplish? What problems does it solve, and is it the most efficient, least harmful solution possible to said problems? Do you support this bill because you believe in this baseless "men pretending to be trans in women's restrooms" fearmongering, or because you have an animosity towards trans people themselves, and see any piece of legislation that restricts their rights as a public good?

[Grenartia]

Why?

Well, because I support the bill, of course. Why else?

Why do you support this pro-discrimination, pro-rape, pro-murder bill?

[Major-Tom]

Well, because I support the bill, of course. Why else?

Why do you support this pro-discrimination, pro-rape, pro-murder bill?

It's a shit bill, but how is it Pro Murder and Rape?

[Liriena]

Why?

Well, because I support the bill, of course. Why else?

I'm sorry, but that's not enough.

What's your excuse? Are you afraid of men pretending to be trans to use women's restrooms and harrass women (something that has not actually happened in any of the places where anti-discrimination legislation exists)?

[The Forsworn Knights]

As a North Carolinian, I just wanted to point out that most of us are nice people, and we had a democratic state legislature for hundreds of years running.

Then maniacal pricks showed up and corrupted our voting laws to Hell. We currently have multiple laws making their way to SCOTUS cause of our legislature, that almost none of us support.
