Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There's one major flaw in your logic. Well more specifically, you're flaw is logic. The people that have been swayed into supporting anti-lgbt crap fundamentally cannot be swayed using logic. To them, there is some dark soulless creature whose only insurmountable obstacle to their pedophilic rape fantasy is their adherence to custom and standards of using the bathroom in line with their gender assigned at birth.
"But I covered that with the bit about predators attacking someone of the same gender in the bathroom they are unquestionably allowed in. Surely this will slip past their dense cognitive dissonance?" Oh you sweet summer child. How you've been duped to think anyone other than your fully red- blooded manly man attacking a young defenseless girl is possible. Young boys surely have the means and mentality to fight off an attacker. No no. It is only young girls needing protection from the big bad man. And how DARE you accuse them of being anti-lgbt for believing this way!
See the trick about these fucking imbecilic cretins is a complete dissociation from reality. The arguments I laid out above are almost verbatim what I got from a Facebook "friend". And he absolutely takes offense to being accused of being abti-lgbt. Sure he thinks trans-men are women and trans-women are men. But that's because he wouldn't date a trans-woman which means they can't be women. He either goes radio silent or quickly changes the subject when pressed for whether he would date a trans-man.
You can't bring logic to these fights. Fuck if I know what anyone could actually bring to convince them, but it sure as hell ain't logic.

Soap, ballot, jury, cartridge. There's only one of these that hasn't yet been employed.
Correction, there has been a very high-profile case of the fourth box being employed just this month. =3
