Once again I find myself in a role of Political Activist. Something of which I am unfamiliar. However, I do believe someone needs to take the lead in matter of such importance. The one who would be president must assure us that the safety of women and girls is more important than being politically correct. A follow-up of yesterdays: Sign the Boycott Target Pledge.

Transgender people are not sexual predators. And they are equally harassed in the bathrooms designated for their biological gender. https://www.ted.com/talks/ivan_coyote_why_we_need_gender_neutral_bathrooms?language=en

Here are my comments and responses to agrudzinsky’s remarks at Sign the Boycott Target Pledge! I have merely transposed them here.
To answer your opening question: “Why do ‘you’ think transgender people are sexual predators?” I have not said “transgender people are (all) sexual predators. In fact, the article itself does not say anything remotely close to your statement. In summation of the article the author states the “propensity for sexual predators to gain access to victims is greatly increased through passage of such bills.” The article also gives factual cases for which makes this fear real.
How do you distinguish between a true transgender person, entering a public facility designated for a specific gender, from a sexual predator whose intension is to victimize persons of the opposite sex? The answer is specific in this regard. We can not, on appearance alone, distinguish one’s intension when entering such facility. After all the article points towards those “pretending to be transgender in order to gain access. Let me point out where the author makes such point vividly clear. “We are referring, of course, to laws and policies (like Target’s) which allow so-called transgendered individuals – that is, males who are so sexually confused they think they are women – to use facilities quite appropriately reserved for females. This opens the door to men who only pretend to be women to enter such facilities for sexually pernicious purposes.
The real problem here is not with transgenderism. The real problem is males who will use policies designed for transgender (people) to gain access to places where females should have the expectation of privacy.
Thus my question is again given to you. “How do you distinguish between a true transgender person, entering a public facility designated for a specific gender, from a sexual predator whose intension is to victimize persons?” Anyone can say “I am this, or I am that” but how do we know until it’s too late?
I wish to thank you for your questions and comments. Both are greatly appreciated.
May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless and keep you and yours always.

I have watched your assigned video and do not normally allow persons to place items as videos upon my comment section. However, in this case I will allow it for general public determination as to it’s creditability.
I have watched the video and I find no true veracity to Ivan Coyote: Why we need gender-neutral bathrooms comments. To me, at first appearance of him, I am wondering why he appears before his audience dressed as a man, of which he is, and speaks on issues of unisex bathrooms only due to “his” feeling of being a transgender and thoughts of himself as a woman. This is not compelling.
Truth be know I am reminiscent of the 1980’s and 1990’s and the homosexuals frequenting “bath houses” in communities as San Francisco, California.
Nor does Ivan Coyote: Why we need gender-neutral bathrooms solve the issue of violence against transgenderism and trans genders. In fact, clear thinking persons might see it as a place where more violence towards them might be imposed due to the isolation and infrequency of users of the unisexual facility. Any person prone to violence against a transgender person would know of the infrequency of usage and the isolated effect of such facility and could take advantage of such a facility to do harm.
In short I believe Mr. Coyote should continue to dress as a man, of which he is, and continue to use male facilities to conduct his personal and private bathroom needs. And quite frankly a sexual predator might view the same rationale for perpetrating sex offenses against women due to the same infrequency of usage and isolation of their victims. Unisex bathrooms are not the solution; it may well be an avenue for continued and additional problems.
