The matriarch of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" Michelle Duggar has been publicly campaigning against an anti-discrimination bill in her home state of Arkansas.

Duggar is the voice behind a robocall opposing a civil rights proposal put forth by Alderman Matthew Petty. Petty devised the bill to handle complaints from Fayetteville residents who have suffered discrimination pertaining to housing, employment, and other public accommodations, according to the Fayetteville Flyer. In the robocall, Duggar -- who is a conservative Baptist -- addresses the issue of transgender individuals' right to use the proper restroom.

Big surprise, she opens her mouth and makes an ass of herself yet again.  When will this overexposed barfy woman with the clown car vajayjay just go away permanently?

No, wait, keep on showing the world how dumb you and your cause are.

It always kills me how they use children as pawns. As far as "safety" is concerned. If I walked into the men's room where this goofball thinks I should be. Then, MY safety would be an issue. When I go into the women's room, NO ONE bats an eye, no matter if it's a woman or a girl.

Its the same old bathroom bill broken record.

Its just unfounded fear that they are trying to spread.

All I ever hear from that tv show is blah blah blah.

I wonder whether Ms. Duggar would enjoy using the restroom with a big muscular hairy transguy with tatoos on both biceps. After all, according to her definition, he would be a women.

Every time I hear of the bathroom panic created by a new person I have an overwhelming desire to just throw pictures of trans men at them.

Oh my God, I know right? 19 kids? Maybe they enjoy something a little too much, both of them may be sex addicts. HMMM. That is way more than being fruitful and multiplying. So I guess she threw the first stone.

People like them make me ashamed of my home state. With 19 kids, just because they get turned on and can't control themselves in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room or pretty much anywhere with that many kids, doesn't mean we are all sex addicts. I find nothing romantic about a public restroom.

Well, according to Mrs. Duggar, apparently all women should be arrested for being child predators. Because, surprise surprise, all the women who go into public bathrooms see the same amount of your girls that we trans women would....

Which makes me wonder, uh, why are you letting your girls show off their privates in public bathrooms? I thought you were a strict religious family. Oh, you aren't letting them do that? Well.... then what the bloody !!!!! do you have to worry about? Seriously, we can see the same amount of your daughters in public as we do in the bathroom.

Common sense score: 0

Particularly Buck Angel.

I just feel incredibly sorry for her kids. No responsible (or sane) person should have that many in the first place, as there's simply not enough of your attention to go around, plus the insane cost of living expenses. Then you go and put them on TV. Then you use your undeserved TV fame to record bigoted robo-calls. And who wants to bet that one of their army of children turns out to be either gay or trans?

What a mess. That's all I can say about it.

Yeah, I definitely agree. That many kids, I mean my god. If it wasn't for the show it kind of makes me wonder. And then parade their lives on TV to the general public. I guess use what you got.

I bet maybe more than one turns out. Hell I'm from that state and I'm trans so... Just sayin'. Being a redneck and Southern Baptist doesn't make a person prone from being gay or trans.
