Please stop calling transgender rights “LGBT rights.” This has nothing to do with gays and lesbians and it’s ridiculous that you conflate the fight for gays to be given equal rights to marriage, adoption, employment, etc. with people who experience the condition of gender dysphoria and want to use a bathroom for the opposite sex. There’s a debate to be had on transgender rights, but it’s not as clear-cut as equal vs. unequal like the gay rights debate is. There are serious questions about whether the liberal Obama bathroom policies will place others in danger by allowing perverts and pedophiles to exploit the law so they can prey on innocent children and young people. If these weren’t possibilities, I’d be fine with transgender bathroom privileges, but stop trying to draw sympathy to your cause by calling this LGBT rights.
