Should a Muslim butcher be required to butcher pork as well as beef?
Sigh. That you don't see the difference is sad. No he should not. But if he decided not to sell beef to black people he should be shut down.
Should a black baker be required to make a cake for the KKK?
No. But if he decided not to sell cakes to white people he should be shut down.
Should a Jewish baker be required to make a cake for Nazis?
OK. Sooooo you don't see that you are comparing trans people with Nazis and violent Racists. You forgot to mention child molesters and lawyers too.
The only argument should be whether a business owner may choose what ‘special orders’ he does?
No. That is not the "only argument". We have enacted laws to protect customers from bigotry and racism. This is an extension of that.
I do not want to share the restroom with a woman who thinks she is a man.
Why? What are you afraid of? Fear can make people irrational. Always has. But really. What is it that you fear from a transsexual who is in the restroom with you? Are you somehow afraid that your masculinity will be compromised?
Admittedly I am a straight man but I wouldn't mind women in the men's room myself. You know, back in my single and heavier drinking days I used to frequent a few bars in Montana. On a busy night there was often a long line for the ladies room. (I will leave you to imagine why.) On more than a few occasions some woman, in extremis as one might say, decided that the lesser of two choices was to use a stall in the men's room. I do not think I was alone in finding that the biggest problem with this was.....well....nothing. It did not affect me at all. She got relief. I got relief...no harm no foul.
I will also admit that I have heard of sexual congress having been perpetrated in restrooms before. Oddly, it may see to you, I have never heard of this happening between a woman who transitioned to male and a man. It may have happened but it would certainly be news.
I guess we have to have "the talk". Women who transition to a male gender rarely do that so they can be gay. Male cross-dressers and transvestites are another thing altogether but they are not the subject of this thread. But here is the thing about cross-dressers and transvestites. They are overwhelmingly male and sometimes homosexual. But you see, no matter how they dress, by your rules, they are still required to use the men's room. THEY are the one's who might be, as we might say, evaluating your equipment and lusting after your papa parts.
Just like all the examples above, I believe my discrimination is justified. Some discrimination is. Like most liberal arguments, you depend upon ‘weaponizing’ words as an argument.
As you can see, I did not "weaponize" any of the above. If you feel a bit foolish right now it is not my fault.
Discrimination is simply choices we make that create our culture.
Wrong. Discriminating against people creates victims. For example, not renting housing to a white person so you can have an all-black building.
It is silliness to believe all discrimination should be eliminated.
Not when there are clear victims subject to the irrational fears of others.
Transgenders are free to continue to make their arguments. So far, I am not convinced by their arguments. This is how it is suppose to work.
No. Actually you have it backward. Our US constitution grants rights to all of the people. It is up to the naysayers to justify taking them away from anyone for any reason.
The burden of proof is on them, not me
Obviously not. A black person does not have to "prove" that he/she is worthy of equality with whites. I am surprised that even you would say this.
I am free to deny them these things until they convince me otherwise.
No. Actually you aren't.
Surgery is not mutilation. Your belief is preposterous and silly.
