KingCougI'm way late to this thread but I'm surprised at some of the opinions I'm reading here. Am I on a BYU forum or am I on UteFans or the comment section of the Tribune?
Transgenders (and I reluctantly even use that term since there's really no such thing) don't have "the right" to use whatever bathroom they "identify with." The very idea is absurd and that it's even seriously discussed on society today shows just how bad things have gotten.
What shows the hypocrisy of it all is, you can have someone who's anorexic and sees themselves as fat while weighing 80 lbs and everyone agrees they're mentally ill and needs help. But if someone sees themselves as the opposite sex of what they actually are, we're supposed to laud them for their bravery. It's the same thing - both are mentally ill and need treatment - but one is politicized while the other is not.
Unfortunately, the debate over who uses what bathroom is only a part of a larger problem - the desire by some in society to increasingly blur the lines between male and female. In their warped view of things, it's all interchangeable so it is no surprise these same people see nothing wrong with gay marriage. Every time you turn around they're attempting to mold some part of society in their image. One if the latest things is pushing for women to register for the draft.
Where does it end? Better yet, how does any of this agreement with what we read in The Proclamation on the Family? I ask that because, again, we're on a BYU board so none of this should even be an issue here.
