It just goes to prove you should know the subject matter before you enter a debate/arguement. Otherwise, you were sure to lose!

Someone who identifies themselves as transgendered feels that their physical bodies don't match up to how they view themselves internally. Even though they may feel like a woman inside, they don't alter their physical bodies (male sex organ).

Yes.

Ritter signs bill giving gays equal access to accommodations

Gov. Bill Ritter on Thursday signed a bill that makes it illegal in Colorado to discriminate against gays, bisexuals and transgendered people when buying a home, renting an apartment or using public accommodations.

"The governor felt that this bill, SB200, was about fairness and treating people equally," said Evan Dreyer, spokesman for the governor's office. "It essentially updates anti-discrimination laws that in some cases have not been updated for 50 years."

Bruce DeBoskey, regional director of Denver's Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights organization, said the law is a step forward for Coloradans.

"No one should be denied housing or public accommodations solely because of his or her sexual preference," DeBoskey said.

One aspect of the law enables transgenders - those who were born one gender but identify with the other - to use public restrooms in which they feel most comfortable.

Beginning May 21, Focus on the Family and Colorado Family Action began sponsoring radio advertisements on four radio stations in Colorado Springs and Denver denouncing the bill.

The ads warned that cross-dressing predators could endanger children by using restrooms designated for the opposite sex.

Focus founder James Dobson said Thursday:

"Who would believe that the Colorado state Legislature and its governor would have made it legal for men to enter and use women's restrooms and locker room facilities without notice or explanation?

"Henceforth, every woman and little girl will have to fear that a predator, bisexual, cross-dresser or even a homosexual or heterosexual male might walk in and relieve himself in their presence."

DeBoskey denounced Dobson's view.

"It is unfortunate that they feel they have to exaggerate the dangers and play on people's fears," DeBoskey said. "This law is about fairness and justice for all people living in this state."

Last May, Sen. Jennifer Veiga, D-Denver, introduced the forerunner to SB200 known as SB25, a bill that prohibits employment discrimination against gays, bisexuals and transgendered people. Ritter signed it into law. SB200, which Veiga also introduced, extends the rights of these people to housing and public accommodations.

"This is a law whose time has come," said Ryan Acker, executive director of the Pikes Peak Gay and Lesbian Community Center in Colorado Springs.

"The passing of this bill shows that Colorado is a progressive state."


------------------------------

A transgender agenda has passed in Colorado. Allowing men in women's bathrooms. We are in deep trouble folks!!!!

Social re-engineering now is on the forefront ... Teachers will have to teach kids that it's okay for Joey to be a girl today and allow him to go in the girl's bathroom

Sickening.

This is absurd....what If I, a Heterosexual male, say I am most comfortable in a womans bathroom? Do I get the same rights as Transgender freaks?

The State of CA is an example. In order for a man to have his ID changed to say F for his sex a form has to be filled out by a professional. I don't remember if it's a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but transexuals can not just walk into the DMV and get the gender on their ID changed. I might be able to find something as proof of that, but hopefully you will take my word for it that what I am saying is true.

Transexuals also can not get a doctor to prescribe the hormones they need without a proper diagnosis being made.

Apparently so in Colorado.

Do not try this in Texas if you see me in a ladies room. I have no fear when it comes to protecting myself or my family.

Unfortunately, you don't get to decide if it's a choice they are making or not. I know you probly don't like that, but that's just the way it is. If you are interested in learning more about transgender disorder, I am sure you could look it up. There's probably loads of info available on the net.

Transgender and transexual are interchangable terms.

Appearently not. This law only gives these special rights to gays and transgendered freaks...not to heterosexuals that just feel more comfy in a bathroom made for the opposite sex.....gee that word is becoming sort of a oxymoron now adays.
