Its because they really do care which bathroom a person uses. You know, important stuff.

A mental disorder, you can't change your gender/sex.

Yeah some of us find it a bad thing to let men use the womens restroom just because they "feel" like a woman.

You totally misread what he said in the post. He said transgender is "anti-science". He didn't say it was a science. They're trying to prove it with science. A quote from NatGeo: "That’s why we’re exploring the subject this month, looking at it through the lens of science..."

So you're trying to use what you consider an 'objective' source to prove your point bout global warming, and you even disagree with what NG says about transgender. Shows you how credible they really are (they're not). Same ole biased liberal viewpoints.

There are about 1000 American Citizens, born every year, that are not Female, and not Male.

I will say that again: They are not male or female. They are somewhere in between.

According to some laws, they will not be able to use a restroom, because they are not male, and not female. Some people think they should not be allowed to get married.

Some of these people decide they want to be a gender, so they have surgery/therapy to make them look more like one of the genders. Others, are given surgery/therapy at birth to make them "fit" one of the genders. This often backfires, because they didn't get to choose. They may, when they are of age, decide they don't want to be the gender their parents/doctors chose for them, and may have surgery/therapy to change to the other gender.

All of the above are good reasons to let humans marry whom they want, and use the bathroom that they feel suits them best.

Namaste...

It's settled by mainstream scientists.

However, there's https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/

They have members with PhDs in Earth Science, etc. They believe the Earth is flat, much like some people believe we are not screwing up our planet by burning carbon-based fuels.

My question is why is this transgender thing all of a sudden a big issue? For centuries people used the bathroom of their gender and there were no issues. Different but related; but at least for the past few decades the races were moving together and racial harmony was pretty common. Now, in the past 5-6 years the races have grown to hate each other. The only thing I can think of is social media/Facebook/fake news. People have easier access to material designed to rile people up..that and any idiot with a Facebook account can post "news." Will this be the new norm? Time will tell.

That is a medical deformity not the mental illness Bruce Jenner suffers from.

Or they used the bathroom of the gender they identified with, and there were no issues.
The people that weren't one gender or the other, of course, used a bathroom that was not designed "for them", and there were no issues.

Different but related; but at least for the past few decades the races were moving together and racial harmony was pretty common. Now, in the past 5-6 years the races have grown to hate each other.

...
same as Abortion:
Today, in the US, there are the least number of abortions that there have ever been, but the fight over abortion is the strongest it has ever been.

I have read studies that show racist people, when presented with more information on racial mixing/harmony, become more racist. That explains our current race situation in the US.
The 0.1%, starting with Bacon's Rebellion, which I feel is THE most important event in US history, have driven a wedge between white and black, to help them manage their control over all the money.

Before Bacon's Rebellion, black and white were free to marry, and slaves brought over from Africa could obtain their freedom simply through converting to Christianity and being baptized.

Daily, the number of scientists who are outspoken deniers dwindle as they are B-slapped with the truth. And who gives a hoot what celebrities say? Enjoy their art and then tune them out. That's what everyone should do. We should all care what politicians say since we elect them to represent us. I say listen to every word and keep them on a tight leash. Preferably a choke collar.

National Geographic devoted an entire issue to the war on science. APC it seems is the front lines.
I love how you use "that is a fact" when it is not. Please explain the difference in the "naturally" occurring spike in CO2 and the current spike? One happened before man was even on the planet the other just happened while we are here. Now I don't believe us shoving a bunch of pollution into the atmosphere isn't helping it along but the true FACT is you don't know the difference in why it occurred naturally vs now.

Just about every prediction based on the science has been wrong. As I said the earth has been cooling and warming for millions of years some of those ages have been much hotter than now, some much cooler, some had CO2 levels 10 times more than we have now at around 4,000 ppm. The sea levels have risen and fallen over 100 feet just in the last 30,000 years. Where I sit now there was a glacier 10,000 years ago. Man had nothing to do with these changes yet you think that by charging a carbon tax to send HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to underdeveloped countries that will somehow stop the climate from changing?

The fact that your solution for global warming/cooling/climate change is to raise and add more taxes just shows what we all know the true agenda is about. Oh and BTW if CO2 were such a concern the right answer is listed above get the liberal loons out of the way and let's add some breading nuclear reactors.
