The NY Times denounces Texas:

The hateful rhetoric of leaders like Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is the latest, ugliest example. Mr. Patrick was ebullient on Tuesday night after it became clear that Houston voters had decidedly rejected a broad equal rights ordinance that opponents maliciously and misleadingly characterized as a boon for cross-dressing sex offenders. “It was about protecting our grandmoms and our mothers and our wives and our sisters and our daughters and our granddaughters,” Mr. Patrick said as he thanked a crowd of joyful supporters who nodded and cried “Amen!”

The ordinance would have allowed biological men to use women’s bathrooms, simply because they “identified” as women. The Times goes on to say,

Opponents of the law, led by Jared Woodfill, a Houston lawyer and a Texas Republican Party leader, started a well-funded campaign that equated supporting it with allowing men to use women’s public restrooms for deviant purposes. Their fearmongering, blasted on yard signs, bellowed from church pulpits and dramatized in a television ad, suggested that sexual deviants were waiting for the ordinance to kick in to sneak up on unsuspecting women in bathroom stalls. This is completely unfounded. There are no documented cases of peeping Toms or rapists taking advantage of anti-discrimination ordinances that have extended legal protections to transgender Americans in recent years.

Apparently they don’t keep up on the news at the NY Times:

The administration at the University of Toronto was recently enlightened on why two separate washrooms are generally established for men and women sharing co-ed residencies. The University is temporarily changing its policy on gender-neutral bathrooms after two separate incidents of “voyeurism” were reported on campus September 15 and 19. Male students within the University’s Whitney Hall student residence were caught holding their cellphones over female students’ shower stalls and filming them as they showered.

In another case:

A biological man claiming to be ‘transgender’ so as to gain access to and prey on women at two Toronto shelters was jailed “indefinitely” last week after being declared by a judge a “dangerous offender.” Pro-family leaders are pointing out that this is exactly the type of incident they warned of as the Ontario government passed its “gender identity” bill, dubbed the “bathroom bill,” in 2012. Christopher Hambrook, 37, leaned on the ever expanding legal “rights” offered to people who “identify” with the sex opposite their biology. Under the name “Jessica,” he was able to get into the women’s shelters, where he sexually assaulted several women in 2012, the Toronto Sun reports.

I’m sure the public editor will devote a page to this gross lie by the Social Justice Assholes in the NY Times, and offer a full apology. (Where the fuck did all these chirping crickets come from?)

The best response to this was uttered by a Freeper, who said something to the effect that, “If women are supposed to have no problem with a biological man whom they don’t identify with in their restroom, why can’t the biological man have no problem with using a bathroom with other biological men with whom he doesn’t identify with?”

Liberals are r-strategists, and thus have an expectation that every urge they have must be satisfied. Here, they simply expect women to give in to their demands that they accept men in their restrooms. Any opposition to this triggers the leftist’s amygdalae. To the lefitst, this triggering is unnecessary, and thus it must be being done with malice and hatred.

People often write of selfishness and self-absorption, viewing it as willfully ignoring the wishes or interests of others. In reality, it is most often an amygdala that is overly triggerable and which yields an outsized aversive stimulus, beneath which all other aspects of a circumstance are totally buried and thus unnoticeable. From a theoretical standpoint, it is easy to dismiss responsibility for such selfishness, but from a practical standpoint there is simply no living with it. Either the individual must become acclimated to and tolerant of adversity, or you simply must eliminate all interactions with them.

Sadly, leftists will never willingly train themselves to become tolerant of any sort of adversity. The only way their brains will be developed to tolerate the autonomy of others is by the force of apocalypse.
