Let's Drop The Political Standpoint On Bathrooms For A Second

We are so concerned about what side to take or what others are taking, let's face the issue that affects everyone no matter what side.

Let's Drop The Political Standpoint On Bathrooms For A Second
abcnews.go.com

For the record this is not another article about someone's political standpoint. This is an article pointing out something that anyone and everyone no matter what your take on the issue should realize and consider. The transgender and LGBT+ community are not a problem for me or many Americans. Human rights are entitled to everyone no matter what they are or who they are. Although we may not agree with peoples choices or way of life it doesn't mean they are not entitled to equal human rights. Can we consider this issue to technically fall under "equal human rights?"

The news is buzzing with this new policy which allows people to use the restroom of the gender they identify with. Target began the wave now the government is trying to implement this policy in schools. The Government has threatened to take away school funding if they did not cooperate with the policy. Clearly no public school can operate without funding. For centuries the bathrooms have been separated by sex at one point in history they were separated by color. Thankfully that has changed and now sex is how we separate the two restrooms. It is science, male and female, two different sexes. It is not a bias, it is not robbing anyone of any rights, it is a normality that has been around for centuries. This is not the point though, you can take whatever side on the issue but this truth is one no one should have to pick a side on. We are opening a door for sick individuals who will take advantage of the system and use it for preying on women, children and even men.

Hear me out, the transgender community that is pushing for this to pass are not the dangerous ones. Honestly whether we want to accept it or not most of these people honestly just want to use the bathroom with the gender they identify with. It is not to prey on people or cause problems. It is the sick people out there who do these things and are just waiting for an opportunity so they can prey on their next victim. I realize it happens everyday, you cannot stop these people they are going to do it whether or not this policy goes into play. Why should we open the door for ease of an opportunity though? We make access for these people to prey on someone so much easier. You cannot tell me it is not true. I cannot stand the thought of just one person falling victim due to this policy. We can argue that it is not likely to happen but why put that one person at risk? Crime is at an all time high, lets stop it, not make it easier to do. If a man wants a woman or a child what is to stop them from dressing like a woman or simply just walking in a restroom without being questioned? How do you separate someone who is doing these things and not being noticed because we are going to make this a norm? You cannot. Question someone about going in a bathroom you don't think they belong in and if you question the right person you will have a law suit on your hands for starters. It would be violating someones rights and before you know it the you all over the media for discrimination because you asked the wrong question to the wrong person.

I present this case for safety and the protection of people. This world is filled with sick individuals that jump at any opportunity that presents itself to inflict pain and harm others. Do not let this be an opportunity we allow them with. Once again no matter what side you take on the issue, democrat, republican, member of the LGBT+ community or a transgender you have emotions, a brain and a heart. Use them and please realize we our making people even more vulnerable by passing this. Is being uncomfortable going in the restroom of the sex you don't identify with anymore truly more important than making people more susceptible to harm? It is not a gender issue this is a common sense issue.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
