Curt Schilling fired from ESPN for his FB comments on the transgender/bathrooms issue
Curt Schilling, Internet Embarrassment - The New Yorker
Well.... the guy's outspoken, I'll give him that. He may think the same way a lot of us do regarding some of these issues... but he committed the cardinal sin of not keeping it to himself, being a public figure and all.
Nowadays you have to tread carefully, lest you be accused of all sorts of phobias. There's homophobia, so I figure there's gotta be a term for phobia against transgenders. Trannyphobia, maybe? No wait... that would be a phobia against transvestites. It's all getting too confusing.
This issue about the public restrooms is weird in and of itself. Used to be that public restrooms were a place you could count on remaining the same. Go in... do your business in peace... and go back out and rejoin the real world. I imagine women felt comfortable in their bathrooms, probably outfitted with sofas for the occasional chat while they powder their noses and whatnot. Now apparently a guy who's in process of making himself a woman can wander into the ladies room and join the festivities. For us guys it's simpler. We go in, we go out. No meandering.... no needless conversation. But still..... What's the world coming to.
Curt's still the man, though. That "bloody sock" championship game was the stuff of legends.

Holy fuck this bathroom business has gotten completely out of control. I live in NC, I've heard both sides of the isle on HB2 but as a Libertarian I'm sitting here wondering "Why does there need to be a law for this? We have gendered/sex based restrooms and have had for damn near the entirety of this nation."
Plain and simple business owners should decide for themselves and their business whether or not to open up restrooms as unisex or cater to the 0.000001% of the population which is transgendered or whatever. It's their business and so it should be their choice ditto for Christian cake makers.
And as for Schilling specifically, ESPN is a company of cowards, bunch of politically correct assholes. They fired Rush Limbaugh for speaking the absolute truth about Donovan McNabb WHICH at the time he said what he did about McNabb the entire panel agreed with him. Sports is getting ridiculously PC, Andrew Shaw of the Chicago Blackhawks got fucking suspended for calling a player a "Fag"....in a game where literally punching someone in the face with your bare hands gets you 5 minutes in the penalty box...it is unreal the way people are bending over backwards to accommodate feelings....feelings of people who for the most part don't care about sports. I hate ESPN.

The homosexuals demand the right to express themselves and celebrate deviance. Alright, have at it, but allow others to express themselves, even if you don't like what they say. It's supposed to be a two way street. I'm gonna boycott Espn for not allowing Schilling to express himself. Homosexuals are becoming fascists.

It's the regressive left, complete totalitarian mob mentality with NO regard for differing opinions or respect for freedom of speech and assembly. Look at colleges and who young people are no platforming.

There are tenets of my thinking that have a lot of kinship with the left, but the leftism of uncontrolled borders, feminism and political correctness is abhorrent. It is an almost militant leftism and it is something that I find myself increasingly alienated from. I don't care about transgender toilets, don't think society has a right to control free speech, or that it is a positive thing to be a single mother, or that it's virtuous to let in people of different cultures who will breed 3.5 children. These things are getting silly now and it's like the dying days of Rome or something. Accelerating beyond all control into insanity and inevitable disintegration of the human race.

Then there is the obese public with a cell phone addiction drooling over reality TV and their only news being to 'Vote Hilary. She is a woman, man!' This rock should head straight into the sun right now.

The part that REALLY irks me is the fact that the people on the authoritarian right now seem to have been correct all along and those on the SJW side are intent on proving those people right by promoting that horseshit!
It started off as "we should be nicer to gay people" and everyone said "OK, yeah, I reckon we can and should do that" then it's "Gays need to be able to marry" and a few people were questioning actually how many gays want to marry but for the most part everyone says "OK, well that'll be the end of it" and then it's "I need to use whatever bathroom I want" and then it's pedophile rights and just exactly how far down this rabbit hole are we going to be pushed by these SJWs?
I'm drawing a Goddamned line with the bathrooms! Bathrooms are separated by SEX, not gender and the whole "gender is a social construct" bullshit is infuriating....Oh it's a SOCIAL construct is it? It's not ummmm evolution? It's not nature? These same people are the ones saying "The science is settled" on Anthropogenic Global Warming but apparently the science ISN'T settled on the roles of men and women in the world there are only "hate facts" such as women have less upper body strength than men....I mean I'm waiting for the fastest woman to try and race Usain Bolt or try to out swim Michael Phelps or whatever, it's just fucking ridiculous the suspension of disbelief one has to have in order to buy the bullshit SJWs are spreading!
And here's the entire Salon video....

I am a fairly left wing kind of guy and see the importance in certain social issues, but what you have now is a bunch of academics in Ivory Towers seemingly so alienated and disenfranchised from reality, that they are just bored and thinking up endlessly more bizarre ways to rile up their increasingly dumb followers into 'action'. Frankly, I think it has gone too far and Western Academia could use a purge. You need different points of view and weird ones are sometimes good to bounce off, but something has gone wrong there. There is really not all that much to research when it comes to the humanities, so in the attempt to be 'original' and at the same time pay respect to the feminist/Marxist forebears, you are getting nonsense. It's the same in economics too IMO which is also a radical ideology. Then this stuff filters through into the media which is also a set up and then you have absurd social debate about things that really do not matter.
Re: Curt Schilling fired from ESPN for his FB comments on the transgender/bathrooms i
The problem begins with people who are of the belief that transgender people have a 'sexual problem' instead of having a gender issue then associating it with some form of sexual depravity instead of a missing gene,chomosome variation, dual genitalia for some or any mixture of many other related issues.
The one issue that gets raised is sexual depravity and is not linked any more with trans people than it is among so called straight people or gay people.
Usually the ones who speak up uneducated, secretly believe others past teachings that God doesnt make mistakes even through nature and the laws governing should reflect that, so they buy into a whole belief system of basic generalizations concerning anybody out of the ordinary having some evil undertone.
The issues run much deeper than any of their judgments could imagine as you can see in the link below.

Re: Curt Schilling fired from ESPN for his FB comments on the transgender/bathrooms i
This might be naive of me, but I honestly wonder....what is the difference between the body dysmorphia (that's the technical term) that an anorexic or a body builder might have and someone who feels they have been born the wrong sex?
If an anorexic says "I need to be thinner" we don't enable them we attempt to help them. If a body builder says "I need more steroids/HGH because I need to be even bigger" again we don't enable them, we attempt to correct their views of themselves. If a CHILD says "I think I'm a boy trapped in a girl's body" or "I'm a girl trapped in a boy's body" the situation is somehow different and society tells us "We have to help this child become what they think they are inside so if they need their privates cut off or they need to go on hormone therapy we should help them with that transition"....honest to God, why is it any different?
I think if you're an adult it's one thing, but children are being put on hormone blockers, CHILDREN! I don't think it's a very good idea and honestly looking at the suicide rate of post op trans people I ASSURE you it's a bad idea.
