De Blasio:". . . everyone should feel safe"

I have no expectations.

only pointing out the root of the problem, which is failure of society to accept the realities of human sexuality.

----
Multiculturalism is not harmless.

Or maybe you identify with one reality of human sexuality and other cultures identify with another, and maybe those realities have anthropological relevance as well.

Well take away the maybe, they do.

I am curious of the harm of multiculturalism, and please make it within the context of reality and all the other models humanity has to offer right now. Being multicultural by birth I find it quite interesting, and since one of the most common multicultural expressions in the melting pot I live in is food I am willing to bet that many people enjoy multiculturalism as much as I do.

The differences I speak of are a biological reality, the way they are dealt with is the cultural reality and that is malleable.

I meant that when different cultures share a common space it has the potential to creates tensions where cultures clash.
things are smoother in a pluralistic cultural setting, although not always better.

what of the harm of multiculturalism?

isn't another way to say it the harm of integration?

Isn't that an segregationist argument?

tensions are harmful to peace and harmony.

That's why conformity is so stressed in all societies.

If I had a women's bathroom fetish I could now dress the part, and sit in a stall sniffing the seat and spraying the walls with my exuberance.

ohh the possibilities, bet there will be fetish vines and videos within 30 days from the law taking place and I don't mean mine.

Usually the penis police catch me before I can get my spray on;)
 
You sound scared not idealistic.

Do you want to wear a dress but cant face it in yourself?

Transgender is about masculine and feminine, its not about sexuality, you are confusing the two.

but it doesn't matter because homosexuality is not related to pedophilia or preying on children.

This thread was about trans people using public bathrooms, which I see as harmless.


"but what about the children?"

is the same shit they are selling people about weed legalization, I don't buy it.
Humans are sexual. Male, female, trans, whatever. People get horny and some people get weird when they get horny. There will be more horny weirdos than trans using the restrooms because statistically there are more roaming the earth. I'm certainly not scared of a trans or being one. I checked out some gay and some trans porn one time but it wasn't my thing, so I got back to the ladies. Pretty sure if I was scared or against it I wouldn't have just posted that last sentence. I'm not embarrassed or afraid. You keep throwing that around so now you'll need something else to fall back on.

Yeah kids need to be protected, and so do women. It's because it's harder for them to protect themselves, not because Christians are fucked. If you are going to stir shit up maybe think for a moment and come up with a valid point. You like telling people they're wrong, but who is right? We're talking opinions here. Everyone's opinion is valid even yours.

What happens if I hold it in too long and accidentally pee on a transgender?

Is that like a ticketable offense, or should I pay a pro or something like that?

Obviously there is more sinister global corruption going on, but probably at the public level these city-elite wizards, hehe wizards, get to generate more income by making restaurants and other public places add a third set of bathrooms and rake in more permit and contractor revenues so that everyone feels "safe".

It has nothing to do with safety or equality, everything has to do with power and manipulation, nothing more. Otherwise every kid in Africa and Asia would be fed better than all of the children in Europe and North America combined and suffering from vegetable-based obesity; if you believe in all this political "save the children" nonsense. What an outright joke!
:woohoo:

I get the whole, how nice would it be to live in a world where there are no ironies.

John Water's movie "pecker" was made to do just that. So I really do appreciate the concept, and I think that in small, like minded communities a mantra like that can work, I participate in some. Now as much as I live my life as all people are equal, that is in humanitarian value and potential to effect humanity, it does not mean people who possess that value and potential understand it or care if they do.

Some people are that enlightened and that intelligent to know exactly how human nature works and exploit that for their own personal gain. This is the dark horse that is rarely discussed but that is also because it regards highly functioning and powerful psyco/sociopaths.

If this were about school, medicine, education, housing, transportation, politics or another public service of like kind the conversation would be different.

I am curious of lawsuits because certain religions have very restrictive gender exposure rules and the city has a fair amount of all demographics.

I am really curious of the cost of this decision over the long term.
 
.... and I'm curious if it's gonna 'cost' Deblasio a re-election!:biggrin:

DiBlasio and his ilk live in a world without immediate feedback mechanisms.

This is going to blow up in his face. White liberals have no idea of how conservative minority cultures they like to speak for actually are.

DiBlasio, in his limited experience, thinks he's striking a blow for civil rights just like MLK.

It's frighteningly typical of rich coastal liberals to think that gender identity or whatever is identical to skin color or, you know, actual genitalia.

This legislation is the product of a grossly simple and misnformed mind.

I don't know where I stand - I don't know enough about transgender folks to make an informed statement - but this is going to explode in his face, mainly because no one wants men in dresses to have access to their children. Kids' safety trumps liberal social policy.

I think we should go back to segregating people with dark skin for the same reason.

According to crime statistics they commit more crime than light skinned people.

I'm worried about the women and children and I say make them use their own bathrooms.

I know most of them are not bad but how can we tell the difference?
