Attempts to protect people from themselves or legislate morality (whose???).
I agree on legislating morality, but protecting people from themselves? That ranges from stopping kids from endangering their health or even their lives, to trying to stop someone who, in a moment of desperation, might attempt to jump off a bridge or building. I might not have been around now, if it weren't for three police officers who did the latter, and I'm still grateful they did.

LOL. I would never fart in bed
Roses are red
And lovely to smell
Just watch out for the thorns
And all will be well
LOL you wish... fart facts
Roses are red
My tiding is sad
But like everyone
You too fart in bed

Roses are red
A frown on my face
Spanking and paddles
not really my place
Don't mind finding Tonya
Tied down on the bed
Though my torture's not pain
But pleasure in stead
I'll tease every sensitive
Part I can reach
From that spot in her neck
To her slippery peach
And I'll keep her on edge
Till she's ready to soar
Then I will make her cum
Like never before
A frown on my face
Spanking and paddles
not really my place
Don't mind finding Tonya
Tied down on the bed
Though my torture's not pain
But pleasure in stead
I'll tease every sensitive
Part I can reach
From that spot in her neck
To her slippery peach
And I'll keep her on edge
Till she's ready to soar
Then I will make her cum
Like never before

Quote by avrgblkgrlReggie, as a writer and poet, you are as unique as Miles was as a musician. And while you may not be world famous like Miles, for me you are at the same level as he was, way up there...
I'm always concerned about whether what I'm writing sounds the same. I never want to be that kind of writer, but at the same time my voice is me. It makes me pretty predictable unfortunately. There is no escaping that. I guess I'll settle for at least not being boring--that in itself is a major challenge.

Quote by HeraTeleia
Did I mention anywhere that Trump's meddling is unacceptable? No, I didn't. I really should have. It is unacceptable. Period, full stop.
All I suggested was a relatively simple way for schools--and because Trump's order specifically addressed public schools, I left other public facilities unmentioned--to avoid coming under the scope of the order by simply dropping the reference to the washroom being specifically designated for transgender students. I do apologise if you took my comment to mean, somehow, that I do not understand that gender identity can differ from one's physiognomy.
There will never be a widespread, wholesale acceptance of transgender, gay, lesbian, or bisexual individuals, because some people just cannot wrap their brains around the idea that sometimes, one's gender identity or sexual orientation is in opposition to what society perceives as "real" or acceptable. To say that good cannot be done whilst bad laws are in place, to dismiss those acts of good as a "drop in the bucket", is both foolish and insulting. Are you arguing that schools shouldn't be actively looking for work-arounds? That's pretty much my takeaway from your comment--that a raw, open, bleeding wound is somehow better than a "band-aid".
I'm not even sure why you took offence to my suggestion. It's worked fine in my son's HS, it's worked fine in thousands of other public schools across the United States. The only thing missing from the doors is the specific designation of the washroom(s) being meant for transgender students. Schools not in the process of being built or renovated can, and have, still renovated existing facilities to accommodate at least one "gender neutral" washroom.
As far as the rights of transgender, gay, lesbian, or bisexual individuals needing to be actively protected, where exactly did I say that these individuals do not need active protection? Where did I say that as a heterosexual female, I don't think that these individuals require my concern or protection? Oh, that's right. I didn't say either of those things, because I fully fucking wholesale believe that an attack on the rights of one is an attack on the rights of all.
I offered a pragmatic solution to a hopefully temporary problem, and you presume to attack me for offering this solution? Really?
I apologise if I worded my response wrong. I didn't take offence, and I didn't say it was bad to seek a way around bad legislation. I merely said it doesn't solve the problem that law and society discriminate against transgenders. I agree that changing that in society is virtually impossible, but it's not impossible to abolish discriminating laws and replace them with laws that prohibit such discrimination. It worked with race and religion, it could and should be the same for sexual orientation and gender identity.
As for the schools, the ones that do create gender neutral facilities would probably allow transgenders to use the bathroom of their choice anyway, if laws didn't prohibit that. They are the ones, that recognise the rights of transgenders well enough, to be willing to work around discriminating legislation.
I just think, that it isn't enough. For every school that does create gender neutral facilities, there is one, that doesn't and won't. Some because they just don't have the possibility to create an extra bathroom or to make one gender neutral, and many others because, with their preferred holy book in hand they say, being transgender or gay is an unnatural and unacceptable mental disorder, which they don't want to facilitate.
I didn't say, or mean to imply, anything about your thoughts on protecting LGBT indiviuals. I just gave my opinion on the subject, nothing more, nothing less.
