Father in viral video of school board arrest says his daughter was raped in school bathroom.
On June 22, Scott Smith was arrested at a Loudoun County, Virginia, school board meeting, a meeting that was ultimately deemed an “unlawful assembly” after many attendees vocally opposed a policy on transgender students.
What people did not know is that weeks prior on May 28, Smith says, a boy allegedly wearing a skirt entered a girls’ bathroom at nearby Stone Bridge High School, where he sexually assaulted Smith’s ninth-grade daughter.
Juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio, related to an incident that day at that school.
As Loudoun schools sought to pass a controversial transgender policy in June, it concealed that a 9th-grade girl was allegedly raped by a "gender fluid" student in a school bathroom just 3 weeks prior, The Daily Wire has learned.https://t.co/t5IEv1vZZF

Sure, there are people who will take advantage of this situation as there are people who take advantage of any situation. These incidents are exceedingly rare, that's why they get attention, expecially from the right. We don't base legislation on the fringes, we base it on the majority.
If one could actually die of irony poisoning, this would do it... [Reply]

How much more rare is it then cops killing INNOCENT black guys? [Reply]

So you are saying we should base legislation on the majority rather than the fringes? [Reply]

I'll go ahead and clean up that misspelling and remove the my side/your side reference. Because this post can't be quoted enough. [Reply]

Fact:
You were cheering in approval of mob violence from a group that was defending a sex offender.
There’s nothing weird about me pointing out the irony of you talking about being on the “wrong side of history”.
If the times I'm on the 'wrong side of history' are limited to a random video that 99.99% of the population either hasn't watched or has forgotten about then I'm totally good with that.

Unless you foresee a trans explosion, trans expression is an outlier in society. That doesn't mean it doesn't deserve respect, but it does factor in to how many laws we change just to make trans expression [particularly isolated acts, like trans expression in the course of taking a shit] easier.
Bathrooms are private and segregated by gender for a reason, and if we're examining that rationale, we have to weigh to 'progress' of letting outlier trans persons push that boundary against the [also outlier, but real] harm of paving the way for predators to take advantage of the law for prurient and violent, or even simply defiant, purposes.
You're right that it's something we need to weigh. We're talking about the rights of a few million people to use the bathroom that corresponds with their identified gender versus trying to stop a handful of cases of weirdos committing sexual assault under the guise of being trans. I don't think it's really that close, and that's not even getting into the fact that the overwhelming majority of sexual assault incidents do not involve trans people or those who are cosplaying as one.

What about the millions and millions of women who don’t want cosplaying dudes watching them undress? What about the millions and millions of parents who don’t want their children exposed to the same?

Good idea or how bout boys going to boys bathroom and girls go to girls bathroom . This all a bunch of horse shit and this country is going to hell in a hand basket [Reply]
Education is the key to making trans people normal! Its just like interracial marriage!
Except its a mental illness that doesn't get treated only tolerated.
And your contention about the wrong side of history is flat out laughably wrong and stupid.
You guys call everybody NPCs but all have the exact same script on this issue about how being trans is a mental illness even though it is not recognized as such by any prominent medical organizations. Even if it were true, how is the appropriate way to deal with their illness to deny them rights and make them feel like more of an outcast in society? Not that you actually give a shit about trans people, but if you did you would view their situation much differently. [Reply]

It's not like a rapist is going to think to himself, "I'd really like to walk into the girls' restroom and **** a girl in the ass and face against her will, but my skirt is in the dirty laundry. I guess I'll tuck this rage boner into my waistband and wait until tomorrow."
I agree with this but I'd also add the cover up by the Loudoun County School district is also a thing as well. Yes it will hurt the agenda on trans bathrooms because of people's perceptions about bathrooms and transgenderism, but that's the way the cookie crumbles [Reply]
