    “She believes that referring to another person using pronouns that do not correspond with that person’s biological sex is harmful to that person because it is false and harmful to herself because it forces her to lie by denying her religious beliefs and scientific evidence,” it continues.

      Can students sue to avoid sharing a restroom with bigots if that is against my religion?

    Why are we letting conservatives into public restrooms? They are notorious child-rapists and are known to attack innocent people in bathrooms if they don’t like the look of them.

    There is no room for conservatism or other hate-based ideologies in a modern civilization.

    There’s no previous cases of assault or harassment of cis people by trans people for using the bathroom. Their fears are not valid. It’s as valid as a student suing because they have a phobia of the color grey and can’t be forced to use a bathroom that has any grey in it.

      The stupidest part to me is that cis women could also potentially assault other cis women in public restrooms but these bigots haven’t even considered that possibility.

      Also, if you are a cis man and are just desperate to sexually assault a woman in a public restroom, I would think that a janitor’s uniform and a mop would be enough.

            It’s almost like the clippings alone don’t tell the full story.

              Mormon leaders have nothing to do with the document. That’s why I’m baffled by your comment. It’s like you didn’t look at the document.

                I did, in fact, look at the highly selective and edited document with no really good way to confirm every story. Or even more than one or two.

                You, on the other hand, either didn’t notice the URL, don’t know who runs Utah, are incredibly naive or just dishonest.

                The first article is from the Christian Broadcasting Network and many of the others are from Fox News.

                  And?

                  The statement is there has never been a case and that’s false.

                  Anytime someone says there has never been… it’s almost always a false statement.

    Cab I, a cis person, sue for being required to share a bathroom with other cis people?

    I don’t want to share bathrooms, thank you. That’s a violation of my religious beliefs (in my religion, pooping is a sin).

      Agree. Some people just need to mind their own business. Unless someone is getting hurt, then just mind your own business and don’t get involved.

      I remember a woman entering a men’s bathroom before because the queue was long. The only reason I was upset was because if a man did they same he may get in trouble.

      That’s exactly what it is. “These children could be raped by a trans person!” Or they could be raped by a cis person. Of their own gender or another gender.

      In general, it’s not hard to find a time to sneak into a bathroom when no one’s looking. It’s not like they’re usually in some prominent place.

    I hate this argument. I’m conservatives and I will try to use the pronouns of choice. To me it’s just being polite. It’s like a name preference. You try to respect it. If you religion teaches you to be an asshole to everyone then it’s time to rethink your religion.

      My daughter has a very close trans friend (who the school forces to use the girl’s room anyway). A girl was being a bigot to him in the bathroom, so he slapped her. Guess who did not get in trouble?

      Hint: not the openly queer one.

    Simple protest is just smash urinals or pour something like concrete into them. After a couple repairs, they will just start replacing them all with stalls… then there will be no difference between bathrooms.
