An excerpt from his testimony:

    "This bill would call for any student and young adult who perceives themselves to be something other than their sex at birth to share shower facilities, restrooms, locker rooms with gender or sex they feel they are at any given time.

    The problem is that this bill, or current law for that matter, affords a clear definition as to what constitutes legitimate gender identity and gender expression. The bill opens up Pandora's box, in effect, that creates a slippery slope that allows anyone to claim they are something sexually and then have full access to the opposite sex facilities without regard to privacy.

    We feel this is an absurd and offensive policy that would not bode well with the majority of students."

STRANGE View of things!!  I would like to know how much how much they pay their models, and then let that news out.  Ugly gets you $100/ hour, REALLY Ugly gets $1000.  NONE of the models are Trans* I am sure.

Ironically, a slippery slope is a logical fallacy.

They just shot themselves in the foot without having a clue that they did.  Arguing with mental midgets like that is like debating with a toddler.

I would like them to tell what in their mind is traditional values? This can be subjective depending upon one's culture and norms. I have my own view of traditional values but that's for another day.

Dear God... Hate, hate, hate, hate, and more hate. That's all that this entire article is. Does this person have a personal grudge against trans people or something? My brain hurts just trying to process the sheer amount of hatred contained here.
