Transgender rule goes against nature

It seems to me it’s obvious that if one has the body of a man, but likes to think of himself as a woman (and vice-versa), he, or she, is very confused, and badly in need of some psychiatric counseling to get his or her head on straight.

To rearrange the beliefs held by 99 percent of mankind, since the beginning of time, to accommodate a small number of confused people is creating havoc in our society.

Fortunately, my son, and daughter are grown, gone, and doing well. I would have never allowed them to attend a school where they would be required to either eliminate bodily wastes using the same rest room as the opposite sex, or, or, after gym class, to have to take a shower with a supposed transgender student of the opposite sex.

Ultimately, it will wind up costing our country billions of dollars to make such accommodations unless we come to our senses – especially when you include the cost of brainwashing all the students in our school system to accept these changes.

It will also be a major problem trying to convince many of the parents of the children in our school districts to accept this malarkey.

The state is not only standing against the rights of parents, but against nature and commonsense.
