Discussion: Cruz On Bathroom Bill: Transgender Individuals Aren't 'The Real Danger'

Here’s the facts, folks- The TWO most dangerous places for children statistically, especially boys, are CHURCH, and BOY SCOUTS. More child predators hide behind the mask of Christian righteousness than any other, and singling out boys to molest in those places is very easy. Personally ANY parents who allow their children to be around clergy, priests, religious leaders, and scout leaders without personally supervising the interactions is guilty of negligence. There is NO WAY I would ever trust some closet churchie perv around a child of mine.

those who did dumb things as young adults, got fearful of their own consciences and as a result found God. Now they ignored that part about ‘judge not lest ye be judged’, but hey details.

I wonder where wrestling practice ranks on that list. I’m guessing at least in the top ten.

So basically we should punish all transgender people because of the non-existent possibility that pedophiles might pretend to be transgender? Makes sense to me, just so long as we punish all teachers, child therapists and parents for the same reason…

I think we all know that “the real danger” is Lucifer.

“If you pass a law, as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and Barack Obama want, that says any adult man can go into — a girl’s restroom if he feels like a woman at that minute,”

Okay, maybe I’m a cynic, but somehow I doubt that Senator Cruz’s characterization here is 100% accurate.

No Ted, the real danger is bluenoses like yourself who clearly have many, many issues with their own sexuality and transfer these feelings to others. Mental illness comes in many flavors…

Children are more at risk at Summer Bible Camp, or anywhere frequented by either “Youth Pastors” or Republican Wrestling Coaches

Can someone please do a search and find out how many times the term “youth pastor” has appeared in the news recently, and how often the term “sexual molestation” has appeared in the same sentence? I don’t want my grandson encountering a youth pastor in the men’s room but there’s little I can do about it.

Statistically most child abuse cases occur at churches or scout meetings.

Ted could shut all public restrooms down, since shutting stuff down is the only thing that he has ever accomplished.

Ted owes the taxpayers, AKA us, a quarter trillion dollars for his last idiotic stunt, I doubt he could reach a million with this dumb ass crusade.

The real danger is trans-continental wing nut wack jobs interloping in America’s business. Cruz needs a one way ticket out of the US!

You really want to scare the c**p out of somebody? Stick a picture of Cruz on the inside of the doors of restroom stalls and at eye level above urinals.

Because transgenders don’t usually punch you in the face when persecuted.

Its is similar to why PETA protest skinny models wearing fur rather than Hell’s Angels wearing leather. . .

edit: oh, should I have said slender?

I’m with Ted.

Let’s pass a law to keep predators out of bathrooms. And while we’re at it, since making laws is so effective at stopping criminal behavior, let’s pass a law that they can’t have guns either.

After all, Ted, you wouldn’t want an armed predator in the little girl’s bathroom, would you?

Well he has a point. The real danger is not trans people. It is Congressional males in airport bathrooms.
