When Fear Wins Over Fairness
It is disappointing that a supposed news source would add to the misleading discourse about New Hampshire HB 415. HB 415 is about far more than what this story suggests and is, at its base, a bill about fairness. Clearly the Eagle-Tribune is not pro-fairness.
Truly gender identity and expression is not well understood by the average person, and supporters of this bill have not done a good job of educating people. Possibly because this aspect of the bill is so minute? But similar protections to HB 415 are already in place in 20 states, and over 300 municipalities across the country.
Gender identity and expression also includes female to male transexuals. I wonder how cityworker2′s daughter will feel when a partially transitions female to male person is in the woman’s room because of the failure to pass this bill? Full facial hair, muscular body- due to the hormones, yet their physical anatomy is still female below the waist? Using cityworker2′s own criteria, this is what will happen.
If anything, passing HB415 will eliminate problems rather than cause them.
There are no authentic documented cases of any wrong doing or unlawful behavior coming from passing this type of protection. The few reported cases of problems have only been made by an ultra-rightwing religious source and no documentation to support the claim has been made. More people can be found who have seen UFO’s than have seen improper activity in a woman’s bathroon. More people have seen Bigfoot.
This bathroom language is just a fear tactic used to provoke fear and stop fairness. Is that really the New Hampshire way?
