Zero.<br /><br />None.<br /><br />Zilch.<br /><br />Not once. Not in 35 years.<br /><br />The argument is "well someday.. maybe.. they might. Really. One day. It could. Just because it's never happened doesn't mean it can't, no matter what the lawyers say about it. We can't be too careful".<br /><br />And that justifies the discrimination that results in the following:<br /><br /># Respondents were nearly four times more likely to live in extreme poverty, with household income of less than $10,000.<br /># Respondents were twice as likely to be unemployed compared to the population as a whole. Half of those surveyed reported experiencing harassment or other mistreatment in the workplace, and one in four were fired because of their gender identity or expression.<br /># Housing discrimination was also common. 19% reported being refused a home or apartment and 11% reported being evicted because of their gender identity or expression. One in five respondents experienced homelessness because of their gender identity or expression.<br /># An astonishing 41% of respondents reported attempting suicide, compared to only 1.6% of the general population.<br /># Discrimination in health care and poor health outcomes were frequently experienced by respondents. 19% reported being refused care due to bias against transgender or gender-nonconforming peopleZoe Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712045376060102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-48960164884590740432011-02-12T07:27:17.879-06:002011-02-12T07:27:17.879-06:00People with psycho-sexual problems have moral prio...People with psycho-sexual problems have moral priority over everyone else: once this idea is accepted, everything will be sweetness and light.Fernandinandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253225431705407699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-50046115744199498712011-02-12T00:22:55.574-06:002011-02-12T00:22:55.574-06:00Monstrous!

Although I'd normally relish the chance to wrestle in Crisco with a smart, virile straight man, I'm simply "spent" as far as arguing over the subject of public showers and gays.<br /><br />Personally, I find all communal bathrooms and showers barbaric, and won't use either unless I'm desperate. It's weird to me that people think of a shower or a bathroom as a "sexy" place; for me, they're anti-erection Kryptonite. I prefer copulating on soft surfaces, without the smell of stale urine in the air. I guess I'm old-fashioned that way. I'm also old-fashioned in my belief that external genetalia should be the segregating criterion for public facilities, not the content of your character.Palladianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105490715666718993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-19263106803103636382011-02-11T13:22:26.869-06:002011-02-11T13:22:26.869-06:00Palladian said: "You know, I'm just not ...Palladian said: "You know, I'm just not going to get into it again."<br /><br />OK, fair enough.
