Hey Fambly,
After brotha oldsoul told us about this 6 year old boy in Colorado who wants to be a girl and is suing the school for discrimination because they won't let him use the girls' bathroom, I started this thread on hubpages.com to see what folks would say. Looks like I started an avalanche of responses.
It would be easy to dismiss this as White folks craziness, but remember, they are trying to affect public policy that we will have to live with. Do you want your girls to have to share a bathroom with boys who claim to be transgender or vice versa?
Even if you have no kids, what starts in schools is not going to stop there. It will move into the adult world. A man will be able to claim to be transgender and walk into a woman's bathroom in a library, restaurant, shopping mall or wherever. Your husbands, boyfriends and sons will find themselves sharing public bathrooms with women who claim to be transgender.
What can we do as Black people? We can vote for the politicians who want to tear down the civil rights amendments and re-institute slavery or we can vote for the politicians who want to tear down distinctions between male and female. We're not spoiled for choices, are we?
