      One could write an essay on that question, I'm sure.

      Honestly? I haven't the slightest clue. I'll mull that over in the meantime.

      I lost any respect I might have had about this opinion about here:

      Keep in mind that “transgenderism” is officially considered a disorder by the mental health profession that can (and should) be treated.
      I'd really like to know what doctors are saying that.

      Treatment for Gender Identity Disorder is not aimed at “curing” the person. It is aimed at providing supportive therapy for medical conditions that accompany GID, such as emotional distress (from families giving the individual shiite), depression (from shiitee family abuse), anxiety (from additional crap from guess who?). Societal garbage/attitudes is a predisposing factor to individual's with GID developing anxiety/depression/emotional distress but it is far below the abuse delivered from families.

      One of the big points I think that the writer was trying to make is the problem that we have too many hate crime laws. It unbalances and basically causes racism since there are going to be unprotected groups always wanted to take advantage. Drop all of this hate crime bullshit and go back to the basic laws which already existed to protect everyone, regardless of race,sex,religion,feelings?,whatever it may be. Simple is best.

      While I don't like the hate crime laws, the main point the writer was making is that all transwomen are some kind of monster that should not be around our children or on our property. The writer even goes out of the way to say they should be able to be denied house ownership, jobs, and use of public areas just because of their gender. The main point of the bill is to give everyone those same freedoms that others have, that we don't have right now. To allow people of all genders and orientations to be able to own a house and use facilities owned by the people without discrimination.

      I think that if you want 'change' and 'fairness' then you should do it on a social level not judicial. And home owners should be able to do whatever they want with their property. Besides, whatever happened to freedom of speech? That's right, some people are all for it until they are insulted by someone. To me and many others this is just unethical. Although the author of the article is biased, everyone will always have their side. Cheers

      The bill only enforced the rules in areas open to the public, you could still do whatever you liked on your own, private property.

      And that article was full of ignorance and hatred, but then what do you expect from a site called 'patriots and liberty'.

      Instead of basing your opinion of the bill on what the article said was in it, why don't you read what is actually in it. They lie about a lot of things in that article.
