Trump Wants To Let Homeless Shelters Make Transgender Women Sleep And Shower Next To Men


Critics warn the proposal, which guts protections created during the Obama administration, could put transgender people at a higher risk for homelessness and abuse. The rule would allow shelters to reject transgender applicants entirely or require trans women to share bathing and sleeping facilities with men.

Just in case your religion says "help the poor....unless they're like trans or something, then **** 'em." I'm beginning to think Trump got a rude surprise once when trying to grab a *****.
 
No secret to why Trump wants this:

Trump and the Republicans govern by vengeance, revenge and hate. They will make the states, demographics and people who voted for and elected that Black guy pay. And this also is more red meat for his base.
 
Not surprised, Republicans today have become the party of assholes. Gutting these things Obama put in place is intentionally going after a small segment of society in a manner as to further isolate them from the very help they need.

We are literally talking about policy that impacts homeless shelters, going after people who are the most of vulnerable because of Republican prejudices masquerading as "religious conscience."

So, the shelters should be shut down entirely because they don't have the infrastructure to properly segregate?

That make sense.

Actually it just goes to show how really twisted this whole thing is.


This is from the summary of the proposed rule. Which is the only thing the OP article used to present it's "opinion".

View Rule

Excerpt: Emphasis added.

This proposed rule provides that grant recipients, subrecipients, owners, operators, managers, and providers (Shelter Providers) under HUD programs which permit single-sex or sex-segregated facilities (such as bathrooms or temporary, emergency shelters and other buildings and facilities with physical limitations or configurations that require and are permitted to have shared sleeping quarters or bathing facilities) may establish a policy, consistent with state and local law, by which such Shelter Provider considers an individual’s sex for the purposes of determining accommodation within such shelters and for purposes of determining sex for admission to any facility or portion thereof. The proposed rule permits Shelter Providers to consider a range of factors in making such determinations, including privacy, safety, practical concerns, religious beliefs, any relevant considerations under civil rights and nondiscrimination authorities , the individual’s sex as reflected in official government documents, as well as the gender which a person identifies with. The proposed rule does not dictate a required basis for making determinations other than that they be consistent with an overall policy. The proposed rule continues HUD’s policy of ensuring that its programs are open to all eligible individuals and families regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.​

I agree with your premise. Sex and sexuality are merely social constructs. Human genitals and other physical characteristics are meaningless.

All restrooms, shower facilities, locker rooms, dormitories, prisons, jails, etc., should be unisex. After all, there really is no such thing as sex crimes. We have no examples of male rapists and female molesters posing any real threat to others. Such people are simply misunderstood, and once they are taught that sex is a meaningless concept, the world will be a better place full of butterflies and roses.

Transgender prisoner Karen White (formerly Stephen Wood) of West Yorkshire, England, who confessed to committing multiple rapes as a man, sexually assaulted female inmates after being transferred to a women's jail. TRUE

Oh, you found one. She was a rapist before also and being a man didn't stop her so....That's likecsaying we can't put murderers in jail because they might murder another inmate.

This is troubling.

A separate area would seem to be the wisest option.
 
Estimates put the number of transgender in the US at around 1.4 million. I have no idea how accurate that is, but I offer it to provide an element of context, anyway.
