Men in the Girl's Bathroom? by Delegate Kathy Szeliga

 SB 212, Transgender Rights Law 
Dubbed the bathroom bill for good reason ...

A good title does not make a good bill.  Case in point is SB 212, Fairness for All Marylanders Act of 2014.  This bill sounds great.  Don't we all want "fairness for all Marylanders?"  What SB 212 really does is jeopardize the safety of women and little girls by allowing predators and pedophiles access to the women's bathrooms, locker rooms, shower rooms and other similar places.  This bill is poorly written and ignores the responsibility to protect us from those who would do harm to others.  The supporters of this measure have neglected to consider those who would pretend to be transgenders and abuse the law.   
  
SB 212 language says a person can change their gender identity by "any other evidence that the gender identity is sincerely held as part of the person's core identity."  Pedophiles and sexual predators are clearly mentally ill.  All they must do after this bill passes is to claim that they are in the women's bathroom or locker room because they have a, "sincerely held belief" that they are a woman.  This is terrible policy and law making.
  
I offered a great amendment to exclude facilities where women do not expect to see men, like public bathrooms.  Unfortunately, this bill was fast-tracked by the Democrat majority and any and all amendments were rejected.  Even when it was revealed on the House floor that a man who "sincerely believes" he is a woman - even though he has male parts - would be able to use a women's shower room/locker room at a public pool.  Can you imagine your young daughter or granddaughter in the pool changing room or bathroom with a fully grown man?  This is just not right.   
  
Finally, I find it very troubling that the state will be adding people confused about which sex they are, (transgenders) to the list of people who have faced discrimination because of; race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, and now - GENDER IDENTITY.  
  
I voted no.  The House of Delegates vote can be found here.  CLICK HERE TO SEE HOUSE VOTE

So now, in addition to being hypocrites and economic/financial incompetents,
Democrats have become Socialist PERVERTS.
There is no other way to describe this bill.
These people are mentally ill and Democrats are siding with them as normal and mainstream.
This is another reason to cast Democrats as the pervert Socialists they are in the next election cycle.

The continued ride down the slope of mental sickness under the guise of "discrimination".
You folks who agreed to this have now placed some professional care givers at risk. Massage therapists and personal trainers, you know exactly what I mean.

While paying them for the honor of it all!
F them!

Cane you are one sick POS. You need to be gone and guess what, it could be some little girl that you know well that this happens to because it will happen. Too many sicko people out here for it not to happen. And just to think, you voted for it. You should be so proud of yourself.

Sometimes, discrimination is NECESSARY. I believe this to be one of them.
"Open the prison gates for discrimination" is coming. IDIOTS!

Anyone who voted for this is an extremely sick SOB. More proof that democrats do not care about children. Every single one of them that voted for this and is a parent is a piss poor example of one. Your family needs to be hanging their heads in shame over what pervert they have within their family.

Conway was "allowed" to vote no by house leadership to help him during his campaign here on the shore. Total snake in the grass with no backbone.

Democrat politicians don't care about their own children so why would they give a hoot about anyone else's? They can deny it and say what they want but their actions prove beyond any doubt that they only care about themselves. If any one of them cared about their own children they would be screaming about the current state of affairs in this county, No decent parent would ever saddle their child in debt like the democrats have done.

I want to ask ANY DEMOCRAT, WHY WOULD YOU VOTE FOR SUCH GARBAGE AND CALL IT A "FAIRNESS BILL"? WHY WOULD YOU VOTE AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE YOU SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT? I know Why - IT'S THE MONEY FROM LGBT GROUPS TO RUN YOUR SLIMY CAMPAIGNS. SHAMELESS, SPINELESS, DISGUSTING. CROOKED OWE'MALLEY'S BIG BASTARD PUPPETS.

But, But, It's Fairness for All Marylanders.

Isn't that a warm and fuzzy name to call this perverted bill.

If it wasn't an election year Norman Conway would have voted for it.

When it comes to Norm look for his public statements on bills. I've noticed that on bills where there is a clear Democratic majority and the bill could hurt him politically on the shore, he votes no, but NEVER issues a press release about it.

Where is his outrage?

Answer, there probably isn't any because he probably didn't vote against this bill based on his values, but for political reasons.

The same way he was against slot machines when there was a Republican governor, but suddenly became for them under O'Malley. He votes in a way to guard his cushy career in Annapolis and NOT as your representative.

That's why I am voting for Anderton.

You are right. They wouldn't care a rat's butt if their own child got molested by one of these perverts as long as the money from the group was flowing to them. Democrats are self serving and they will find that there is a special place in hell for them.
The fact that none of our local democrats aren't screaming from the rooftops about this shows just how putrid they are. They can preach all they want about how they are against something but an above comment is right on-they play mind games with the unsuspected public and when their vote isn't needed they vote the other way.

I'd like the idiots who voted in favor of this to explain to me why the "rights" of "gender confused"/transsexuals outweigh my granddaughters right to privacy when in a public restroom or school locker room. I believe most of us taught our children that they are not to undress in front of members of the opposite sex, but apparently most of these politicians don't think we have that right. Is modesty no longer allowed? No wonder this country is headed to hell.
