    I don't do this much, but seriously lay off people's families.

    I get it you don't like Democrats and disagree with them. As @fchowd0311 can attest there's a lot of things I disagree with him on but I'm not going to make a baseless claim his family hates him.

    I don't know you personally and while I might disagree with you politically I have no reason though to think that your parents don't love you and that you don't love your children.

    I haven't seen Rachel Levine out on the campaign trail, ads featuring her or candidates touted her endorsement. I've not seen Democrats in debates or ads touting access to bathrooms. I've seen them say Republicans seem very obsessed over who can go to the bathroom where.

    I don't get why teaching people not to hate transgenderism is a problem with you. Seems like tolerance should be a good thing in a free country.

    And transgender women have been using women's bathrooms for ages. Why is it now all of a sudden a big deal?

    Let me ask you something - do you want transgender women going into the men's bathroom and putting make up on over the sink?

    Do you think transgender men should be going to the women's bathroom then? You don't think it would be distressing for women to see someone who looks like a man come into the bathroom?

    Just put the politicking aside for a minute and think about this practically and you will see why there is no other way.

    So it was OK for them to make comments about my wife and kids? Didn't see you saying anything there. I think you're a good person but if you're going to lay criticism you have to do it on both sides.

    I just responded in the “tone it down” thread. I did not see the post you’re referring too but yes I can believe that other poster have made disparaging comments about your family and if so they shouldn’t be doing it either.

    Saw it and responded. Like I said, you seem like a genuine person. It's not a big deal but obviously I will respond if that continues

    Yes and it is an effective message that Republicans are pushing. That doesn’t man that this really is a big issue and perception is driving it. The number of trans people are still very small. No matter what bathrooms they use or what sports they play they’re not going to be every where or overwhelm biological genders. It’s like with gay marriage. Traditional heterosexual marriage hasn’t been overwhelmed because of same sex marriage even though it’s been legal for almost ten years now.

    Fair enough and if I see a post made about your family I will also say we should lay off your family
