South Dakota passes transgender student bathroom ban bill
Article Here
Quote:PIERRE, S.D. - South Dakota would be the first state in the U.S. to approve a law requiring transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their sex at birth if the governor signs a bill passed Tuesday by the state Senate.
The Senate voted 20-15 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard, who initially responded positively to the measure but said last week he'd need to study it more before making a decision.
Advocates say the bill is meant to protect the privacy of students, but opponents say it discriminates against vulnerable adolescents. CBS affiliate KELO in Sioux Falls reports that those opposed say that in addition to the likelihood it will lead to bullying, they also question the constitutionality of the bill and fear it will cost the state millions in lawsuits.
Under the plan, schools would have to provide a "reasonable accommodation" for transgender students, such as a single-occupancy bathroom or the "controlled use" of a staff-designated restroom, locker room or shower room.
Republican Sen. David Omdahl urged other legislators Tuesday to support the bill to "preserve the innocence of our young people."
Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans unsuccessfully opposed the measure in the Senate.
The American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota and Human Rights Campaign have been vocal in their opposition to the measure and have called on Daugaard to veto the legislation.
"History has never looked kindly upon those who attack the basic civil rights of their fellow Americans, and history will not treat kindly those who support this discriminatory measure," Chad Griffin, the president of the LGBT-rights organization Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement Tuesday.
Transgender advocates have also criticized comments made by some lawmakers, including Omdahl, about transgender people.
"I'm sorry if you're so twisted you don't know who you are," Omdahl said at a recent event when asked about the bill. "I'm telling you right now, it's about protecting the kids, and I don't even understand where our society is these days."
Several states have looked at addressing gender and public facilities in the past several years. Late last year, the city of Houston was recently home to a bitter public fight over nondiscrimination rights that focused on transgender people's use of bathrooms.
But South Dakota would be the first state in the nation to put such a measure into law, said Joellen Kralik, a research analyst at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The Legislature's passage of the bill is "shocking," said Thomas Lewis, a transgender student in his senior year at Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls, the state's most populous city.
"At this point, I'm hoping that the governor has a sense of humanity and the common sense not to write this bill into law," said Lewis, who is planning to attend college in Minnesota. "I am so glad to be leaving soon. I can escape the oppression that my home state wants to put on me."
Supporters say South Dakota's plan is a response to changes in the Obama administration's interpretation of the federal Title IX anti-discrimination law related to education. Federal officials have said that barring students from restrooms that match their gender identity is prohibited under Title IX.
It seems common sense stills prevails in at least one state.

Senator Omdahl on Point
Quote:A South Dakota lawmaker said transgender people are "twisted" and need psychological help.
State Sen. David Omdahl, R-Sioux Falls, told constituents at a legislative coffee event Saturday morning that he planned to vote for a bill that would bar transgender students from using bathrooms, locker rooms and shower facilities of the gender with which they identify if they don't correspond with their biological sex.
"I'm sorry if you're so twisted you don't even know who you are," Omdahl said of transgender individuals.
The audience in attendance gasped and a moderator asked that they remain quiet so Omdahl could continue.
The Republican lawmaker went on to say that some transgender people should seek psychological help because he doesn't believe someone can possess a gender identity that's inconsistent with his or her biological sex. (Watch the comments in the video above).
"They're treating the wrong part of the anatomy. They ought to be treating it up here," Omdahl said pointing to his forehead.
Rep. Steve Haugaard, R-Sioux Falls, called transgender identity a "choice of lifestyle" and said society has been too concerned about the "epidemic" of arguments coming out in favor of the self-identity.
"For us to perpetuate confusion in the lives of anyone is a disservice to them," Haugaard said.

"I can count on one hand, literally, the number of women I have ever met that can take that kind of advice, accept it and make use of it without their epic egos setting metaphorical fire to the conversation.
Most women "looking for advice" are in reality looking for someone to validate their cosmic victimhood, because it's not really their fault, because it's never their fault. This behavioural trait isn't absent among men, but when we fail society cares not, while when women fail there is no shortage of comforting platitudes on offer from every vector."

The law, and its democratic state author and enforcer, is actually the cause of the degeneracy. In normal countries, lacking anti-discrimination laws and other supports, degenerates are naturally pushed to the outskirts of society. Kind of like how a body excretes waste. It's the effects of democracy that prevent this excretion from polite society.
Try putting up an apartment for rent with the following tag:
"No homosexuals or transvestites need apply". You'd probably be arrested the next day. 100 years ago people would just see that and say "oh dear, why do they need to add that? I hope these types aren't trying to move here!".

You are right, good correction!
I have observed that the more laws are issued by the government the more people lose their natural sense of morality, of right and wrong.
Instead of laws, these degenerates should be made free targets - not necessarily to violence, just to shaming, ridicule and also to discrimination from entering positions that would allow them to push their degeneracy to children and having any authority over sane people. This would be enough to keep them forever marginalized, low in numbers, non threatening and not annoying.

RE: South Dakota passes transgender student bathroom ban bill
If you thought using the opposite gender's bathroom was crazy, despite toilets being inside locked cubicles and no chance of seeing any sexual parts, wait until you hear this.
Quote:Man cites 'gender identity' rule after stripping in women's washroom, returns as young girls change for swim practice
These 'progressive' ideas are blowing up in the faces of the Liberals who came up with them and it's downright embarrassing.
A man undressed in a woman's locker room and said he was allowed to do so because of the 'gender identity' rule.
The issue is the first being faced by Seattle Parks and Recreation.
On February 8 at Evans Pool, a man wearing board shorts entered the women's locker room and began to strip. When females alerted staff they asked the man to leave.
“The law has changed and I have a right to be here,” the man told them, citing the transgender rule.

No one was arrested and police weren't called, according to King5.
Even more disturbing, the man returned a second time while young girls were changing for their swim practice.
Pool regular Aldan Shank said this rule, “sort of works against the point they're trying to make. They're causing people to feel exposed and vulnerable with the intention of reducing people feeling exposed and vulnerable.”

This is a perfect example of "social justice" creating a loophole for perverts to demand "rights".
