One Word: NO « The Burning Platform

One Word: NO « The Burning Platform



Guest Post by Karl Denninger

This is what you get when you put up with “Cait” claiming that which is not true.
In what is likely to become a common occurrence in the near future, 150 Missouri high school students walked out of class Monday due to a disagreement as to whether or not a transgender student who was born male should be allowed to use the girls’ locker room.
The school apparently offered Perry a gender neutral bathroom, which he rejected claiming, “I am a girl, I shouldn’t be pushed off to another bathroom.”
This is probably the most interesting aspect of the story.  The school, which was clearly caught in a tough spot, offered a perfectly reasonable compromise to the situation and Lila Perry refused.
The way things are trending right now, the LGBT community doesn’t really care whether or not parents are comfortable with their teenage children being forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with children of the opposite sex.
Of course they don’t care but the fact is as above: These people intend to force you to use locker rooms and bathroom with persons of the opposite sex.
There is a hard, factual, scientific distinction here.  You are either male or female.  Leave out of this the tiny percentage of people who are born with a genetic accident where they have vestigal or (very rarely) functional sets of both genital sets.  Those individuals might have a colorable claim to use either locker room but they are in fact genetic accidents and that’s what occasionally happens — nearly all genetic accidents are detrimental to the propagation of the species and this one is no exception.
Nobody else has such a claim.
You have the absolute right to disagree with your sex but that doesn’t change what it is, any more than my “disagreeing” with a rattlesnake having venomous fangs will prevent it from biting me.  If your sex is male then irrespective of your appearance, which incidentally happens to include temporary or permanent changes you make to same no matter how much effort, money or both you expend, you are still male.
Period.
We separate bathrooms into sexes for perfectly functional and rational reasons.  Men urinate standing up, most of the time, and can use urinary facilities that consume less space and are more efficient per person needing to take a***** than women.  Unless you’re going to put up eastern-style “floor toilets” where everyone squats (including for dropping a deuce) this not only makes perfect sense it also results in the expenditure of less resource (men urinating standing up into a toilet as opposed to a urinal are more prone to “miss” and make a mess, besides the greater space required for stalls as opposed to urinals.)
We separate locker rooms because the act of taking a shower and dressing both involve being nude.  Until and unless you’re going to shut up about people walking around sans clothes on a routine, everywhere and all the time basis, and do so first then you have absolutely no place to argue that a girl should be forced to shower in a locker room with a boy.
Mr. Perry is a boy.  He was born with a penis and testicles, and does not have a vagina, uterus or ovaries.  This is a biological fact and disagreeing with facts is the mark of someone who is delusional, psychotic or both.
Now if Mr. Perry doesn’t disagree with being a boy but he prefers to dress in effeminate clothing and alter his appearance so as to look more like a girl than a boy that’s his choice.  But there is a difference — a vast difference — between altering one’s appearance to suit your own personal desires and believing you are something that is factually false.
That Mr. Perry prefers an effeminate appearance has exactly nothing to do with which locker room or bathroom he uses.
He is male and thus uses the Men’s bathroom and locker room — period.
Cut the crap.
