In our society now, it is a matter of *privacy* to have an abortion,

Are you claiming that medical decisions should be open to a public forum?

but not to go to the bathroom. Possibly someone here can explain the logic in that.

No one is expecting privacy in a public restroom. It is kind of in the title. That said stalls are still a thing last I checked.

Christians should be ashamed for using labels like "gender-confused boys". Let's go around belittling the experience of yet more minorities. It's not like that didn't go over well in the 19th century over Black chattel slavery or the 80's and 90's over gay rights.

Here's a hint, being a Christian gives you no right to define other peoples experiences.

Except in that one school district where they removed the doors to the stalls because somebody wrote a threatening note in one. You can't fix stupid.

When I was in HS we had girls in the guys' locker room all the time. Coach would hold talks in the locker room. I thought it was very gender-discriminatory, even at the time: and with no trans involved.

I'm sure the earth did not open up and swallow them, either.

In my opinion, that's either supposed to be a joke or else it is so flippant a response that it must be the case that you did not read the link given in the original post by which the particular circumstances were outlined for you.

Why should Christians be ashamed of telling the truth? One's genetic makeup is not an experience it is reality. If another person wishes to live in a fantasy world that is their prerogative however, insisting that the rest of it us live in that fantasy world is just not reasonable.

Nobody is asking Christians to become another gender but is it too much to ask for respect? Isn't that what human dignity is about? The Church is not suppossed to be an arbiter of metaphysics, it's been granted the ministry of reconciliation.

Respect? It seems to me people are defending the actions of one side against the other. So does "respect" mean one side gets what it wants and the other doesn't?

What is your area of medical expertise? Because actual experts disagree with you.

“The idea that a person’s sex is determined by their anatomy at birth is not true, and we’ve known that it’s not true for decades,” said Dr. Joshua D. Safer, an endocrinologist and executive director of the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Mount Sinai Health System in New York.

Anatomy Does Not Determine Gender, Experts Say

Kind of depends on the positions of the sides does it not? People who want actual government win and anarchists tend to lose because their ideas don't work. In this case people tend to side with those who have studied the issue and determined what they feel to be the best course of action. Certainly the course of action can be discussed, but if one side claims all the experts are wrong it tends to undermine their line of argumentation.

I'm sorry Albion but I do not understand your response. Please point out what you feel I missed and I will respond to it.
