Let me start off by saying that I am not opposed to any
couple that chooses to love someone from a different sex, ethnicity, or age
group. People should be free to live their lives as best they can and deserve
the right to have their privacy respected. But please keep your personal lives
to yourselves like everybody else does. I don’t mean to be insensitive but when
do your rights interfere with mine? My colleague wrote a blog post on why he
supported the bathroom bill, but I found that the cons outweigh the pros in
this situation. President Obama passed a federal law, known as Title IX, that
allows individuals to use the facilities of the gender that they identify with.
So, a male could walk into any women’s restroom and no one could object on the
chance that this could be a transgender person. I don’t want to go to the store
and see a man walk into the women’s bathroom when I’m there with my daughters,
not only will this confuse them, but it worries me. My concern isn’t of a
transgender person attacking my daughters but of others who would take
advantage of this law. There have been several cases of men walking into women’s
bathrooms and taking pictures of young girls, and no one says anything unless
they notice this because men technically have a right to be in there. I also do not think that every American should
have to go out of their way to cater to a group of Americans that makes up
about 0.3% of the nation. Which is why I think that President Trump did the
right thing in rescinding Obama’s bathroom law.
