The increasing possibility of a woman finding a man in the lady’s room is causing added fear among women and parents of young girls. While it is understandable in isolated public restrooms, where there may not be many people around, it is increasingly seeping into large restrooms in heavily frequented areas. I have occasionally seen men bring their preschool daughters into the men’s rest room because they were too young to go to the toilet without assistance and their wife, ex-wife, or girlfriend wasn’t with them to assist. That is understandable, though it is a by-product of our disintegrating family structure. However, recently the frequency and age of the girls has been increasing. Recently at a large department store, I was in the restroom when a man brought in three kids, two boys and a girl. The girl looked to be about 10 years old. She apparently did not require assistance, since she went into the stall while he waited just outside it. Either he would rather bring her in the men’s room where he could make sure she wasn’t molested in stead of allowing her to go into the women’s room alone or she was afraid to go into the women’s room alone. Either one speaks of the consequences created by liberal politician’s reckless disregard for those who elected them.

President Obama, while in office, sent out a directive to all schools to allow boys identifying as girls to use girl’s showers, locker rooms, and restrooms, or lose federal funding. That was a blatant abuse of Presidential power, since the President is not allowed by the Constitution to make or change laws. That directive was rescinded by President Trump, but President Biden has restored it. President Biden and the Dept of Education have been seeking to force schools to allow boys who identify as girls to use girl’s restrooms, locker rooms, and showers. That puts women and girls in danger from predators who claim to be girls to gain access to girls facilities and forces girls to undress and shower in front of boys seeking to gain access to girls facilities by claiming they are girls. The vast majority of people oppose the practice. They have also been pressuring schools to allow boys to play on girl’s sport teams. Boys are bigger and stronger than girls and girls can rarely compete. It has allowed boys who cannot succeed in sports to claim to be girls and succeed where they would not be able to otherwise. That is unfair to girls who have trained for years and achieved success in sports to lose out to biological boys. In addition, with boys bigger and stronger, it increases the danger of girls being hurt. The  fact that elected officials choose to openly disregard the will of the people and jeopardize the safety of those who elected them should not be tolerated by a free society. Constituents should contact their legislators in Congress to enact laws outlawing such access. They should also contact their State legislators and ask them to pass legislation outlawing such access within their State since that is not a power granted to the federal government under the Constitution. Finally they should contact their local school board members and urge them not to allow such access

While Gays claim that they are born that way, studies of identical twins who share 100 % of their DNA show only 28% share transgender confusion so it does not manifest itself without outside non-biological factors. Anyone else expressing confusion about the reality around them is declared confused or delusional, but gender confusion is considered an exception. Studies  show that gender identity is very flexible. Prior to the widespread promotion of transgender therapy, 75-95% of children experiencing gender distress before puberty, outgrew it. Most of them outgrew it by late adolescence, after going through puberty. Since widespread promotion, the number of those experiencing gender distress and the persistence of such distress has increased dramatically. Children under the age of 21 lack the ability to access risk factors and can not give valid consent. To submit them to transition therapy which is irreversible and life changing based on their feelings is irresponsible. Transition therapy stops their bodies normal production of hormones and substitutes the hormones needed to produce the physical qualities of the opposite sex. Once a children goes through transition therapy, often around age 10-12 when they begin to experience changes, they become permanently sterile and can never have kids. While they claim transition affirming therapy  will help the child adjust to their perceived gender, it has not reduced the rate of suicide which remains around 20 times that of the general population.
