This is a stupid move to be honest. Homeless shelters are meant to be there for all the homeless.

But I'm just waiting for that one person to defend this by whipping out the "but men would identify as a woman to get into women's shelters so they can abuse them" comment.

There interpretation of zed sources may be based on faulty logic motevated by saying things that keep there right wing donors happy.


Also here is that counter study.

Good Lord, this is a classic genetic fallacy. I don't throw out the studies of progressive and green institutions and professors willy-nilly just because I disagree with their politics.

If they want to live there life as a woman, then they can.

Not the governments place to juge. If the government has no place in the bedroom it has no place in the bathroom.

The average public restroom is a lot more public than the average bedroom...
Also, Stock images with an under written claim that they are trans doesn't prove anything. This debate is pretty much irrelevant to me, homeless shelter rule is still stupid, and sex segregation in them even more so.

Edit: to clarify, I am against this bill and didn't and don't care about anything on the bathroom one.

Except no. Because the only "studies" that said transition is ineffective are the ones that were funded by the same types of people behind the Heritage Foundation. Basically like how the only studies that don't say cigarettes are harmful (or are *less* harmful than thought) are ones funded by Big Tobacco.

In the end this shouldn't even be a debate about the "arguments" against transexuality, but the fact that the government is abandoning people, kicking people who are already down and with nowhere to fucking go, little or nothing to eat, and perhaps unemployed as well. Where's that fucking "MAGA" shit now? How is America reclaiming her glory by neglecting her own?

This isn't nationalism, this is pretty pandering. Where are those Christian mores the Republicans talk up?

MAGA only applies to non-Hispanic white cishet conservative Christians. The rest aren't real Americans, as far as Trump's administration is concerned.

Actually, most homeless shelters are run by groups (such as the Salvation Army, despite their recent PR improvement attempts) that have historically thrown trans women out on the street (even in freezing temps), or forced them into accommodations with men, etc.

None of that appears on my browser. And I'm not sure that information is very accurate.

1. No, letting same sex homeless shelters discriminate against those who claim to be of a different sex than they were at birth doesn't kill people
2. ...Did you know that homeless shelters that...aren't same-sex ones exist?

Alrighty then though.

Tell that first one to Jennifer Gale, a trans woman who was found DEAD in freezing temperatures on the sidewalk next to a homeless shelter that wouldn't take her in because she was trans.

..And historically, segregation was rampant in the south. This is 2019 though, correct?

I'd like to see a source from the past decade that shows that these groups did so until Obama's policy was enacted, or would do so upon its rollback.

Same-sex means same-sex. They should have thought about that before transitioning.
