Are You Transgender?

‘Conservatives outraged over Obama transgender directive to public schools’, proclaimed a you know who cable news outlet to its viewers, it seems to me that those viewers first had to be told what to be outraged about, it’s an issue that has been lying dormant for years.

I envision a nation where everyone would have to carry around some form of gender identification document in order to have free access to whatever, in case so challenged, a picture ID will not do since the transgender almost never look like their birth identity. ‘You can’t come in here because you look just like woman’, I can hear it shouted from the roof tops.

At issue:

‘The Obama Administration has issued a sweeping directive telling every public school district in the country to allow transgender students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity’. What started out as a sectional issue has now snow balled into a national one, the cat has come flying out of the bag, much like the lunch counter demonstrations of the 1960’s. On a personal note, traveling throughout Europe in the 1970’s and in Germany at a few guest houses, though small, only one bathroom was provided for its customers without any known problems, that in my mind points to the maturated of the European mind set.

Are you transgender? I don’t know, let me look…
