A mix of emotions over bathroom issue

-

I HONESTLY DID not know whether to laugh, cry or puke as I read about the lawsuit filed by Women’s Liberation Front, a far-left feminist group, against the government over the issue of genitals (“Feminist group seeks to block trans bathrooms, lockers,” Aug. 13). Leftists suing leftists — you gotta love it! What is missing though is the hateful rhetoric toward WoLF that is usually the response toward white, Christian Republican­s. Is this not discrimina­tion?

I then thought of crying as I realized that my grandchild­ren will forever be wondering what in the hell went wrong with my generation when, in the midst of the world coming apart — the economy in shambles — we were fighting over what bathrooms to use? I realized this even more when I asked them the other day if they had been introduced to “gender identity” in school — teachers instructin­g students that they could be any gender they wanted to be. They looked at me as if I had entered early dementia. I warned them it was coming ... .

The nausea came as I envisioned a full-grown adult female who decided she wanted to be a male. Boy, was I jealous of that beard! Am I the only one who thinks this is insanity on full display?

Quite honestly, I did not think that much about it until the government began dictating this bathroom issue. I then became even more nauseated when I realized that I could be standing next to a female-looking person using male parts to relieve himself. I just pray that the mascara is on right.
