Yesterday as Americans were leaving work early to travel near or far or busily preparing at home to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families, Mass Gov. Deval Patrick signed into law H.3810, “An Act Relative To Gender Identity," historic legislation to legally protect transgender individuals from discrimination in housing, education, employment and credit. The new law, signed at the State House today, also provides additional civil rights and protections from hate crimes."
Did you notice the “H-word” and what it’s associated with?
Gov Patrick went on to say: “This legislation gives Massachusetts the necessary tools to stop hate crimes against transgender people and to treat others fairly. I am proud to sign it.” Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray added “Massachusetts strives to be an inclusive Commonwealth, and this new law acknowledges that discrimination against any person will not be tolerated.”
Why couldn’t all this time and energy be used for psychological counseling for Massachusetts’s 33,000 transgender individuals who are confused about their gender identity? Do you think John Adams wouldn’t support such a measure? Can we ever acknowledge any kind of morality anymore? Why is it the default position of Liberalism is-if it feels right to you, it’s good? What happens 50 to 100 years from now when it won’t be a question of gender identity, but species identity?
I’m not a man or a woman, I’m a donkey, and nobody has the right to tell me different because that’s the way I feel. So in 2111, the future Massachusetts Gov will sign an anti-discrimination law for transspecies individuals who think they’re donkeys, fish, cows, and aardvarks. Sorry if you think you’re a dog, the law doesn’t cover that no matter what your ex girlfriends say.
Sounds silly, right?
Well, I think if a man was born a man, then that’s the way God intended it. And if you think God made a mistake, then you’re the silly one. So let’s examine what we’re really doing before we start patting ourselves on the back.
Fron The Other McCain
So, I did the math: 6.5 million people in Massachusetts according to the Census Bureau, 33,000 “transgender residents” according to Downing and, unless I misplaced the decimal point, these liberals are applauding themselves for providing “equal protection” to about one-half of one percent of the state’s people. What about the other 99.5 percent?
Since we’re talking about percentages, are there any millionaires among those “33,000 transgender residents in Massachusetts”? Because if they’re part of that 1%, they have no rights
