yea your right, I will always refuse to accept mental illness being pushed onto children by abusive parents or pedophile seniors who salivate over them.
I bet you think homosexuality is a mental illness as well; don't look now, there's an interracial gay couple burning the American flag.

There is a lot of misunderstanding among those that say what you just said.
It is not that they think transgender people are pedos. It is not that they think kids might be molested by a transgender person.
By government stepping into the bathroom issue mandating that a person can use the restroom of the sex they identify with, it puts a muzzle on people who might see a man enter a woman's restroom and feel that they cannot say anything because that person may say he "identifies" as a female----even if he is dressed in male clothing. And, by law, they would be right.
That's a pretty simple concern. I'm sure we have all used public restrooms alongside a transgender person. We probably never even knew it or cared. But, now, one is basically muzzled.
Say you are at a sports stadium and your 12-yr. old daughter needs to go to the restroom. Up until now, if you see a man walk into the women's restroom shortly after this 12-yr. old girl walked in, you would probably be concerned and might actually ask a woman to go in and check on the child.
Now, with this government mandate, you could be chastised and maybe even be in legal jeopardy if you do such a thing. If the man says, "hey, I identify as a female, so I have a right to enter this restroom", you can't say a word.
I was more pointing out the cyclical nature of our understanding of human natures. Homosexuality was a normal thing because people are wierd and everyone is born a little different. Then religion came along and homosexuality was evil. Then psychology came along and it's a disease. Now, at least for most people, we're getting back to "yeah, people are just weird and born different".

That is the problem right there and thank you for highlighting it. Many in the the anti-trans/gay/whatever crowd believe that the choices other people make in regards to sexuality, identity and such are sexual perversions. They are not. They are only being who they want to be and the "anti's" tend to interpret that as being a perversion because they cannot identify with that choice.
There are perverts among all groups of people, including heterosexuals. To say that they are pedos, will trap kids in bathrooms and take advantage of them is ignorant. You used that exact word and that is the nicest way to say it.

I don't care about your crotch. I care about my state being forced to do something against it's wishes and being threatened by the government to conform or there will be consequences. I'm sick of being bullied by liberals who think they can get what they want by threatening action if we don't conform to their wishes.

You are right in how you will be labeled. And they will be right to label you so. You're just another so-called Christian, airing your ignorant, hypocritical views, because you're upset it is still not the 1950s. Get a life.
"Progressivism" has turned how we relate to each other into something that feels sterile. It's not even SEXUAL anymore. It's cold, indifferent, lacking intimacy, and of convenience or habit.

My concern is that we see many people labeling entire groups as pervs when there is no reason to do so. That is what I am addressing.
