Love this quote, from the remarks secton...

Their fears are answered easily. Do a Lexis Nexis search on "Transgender" or "Transsexual" and "rape", and then repeat the search removing trans and replacing it with Pastor or Reverend.

The results are quite illuminating. The reality is that their fears are only that. There is NO facts to back up their fear.

I followed the link to the online petition.  I now have a Micro$oft Excel spreadsheet containing all the comments people left when they 'signed' that petition.  The level of hate, of misunderstanding, and of projecting their 'dangerous world' fantasies on us is not to be believed.

You have a stronger tummy then I do.  A stop at the FreeRepubilc once a week or so is scary enough.

As a person who lives in one of the states that protect my rights as a transsexual, I have been using the restrooms of the gender I present for nearly a year.

I have never seen anyone who remotely looked like a guy in there!

Also I have been on the lookout for pedophiles looking to rape children and I haven't found them either.

I also check the stall I use for elephants and unicorns before I go in, just to make sure!  So far, there have not been any of those either.

Hmmm, that whole morals thing gets pretty thin after a while doesn't it?
