In 2016, North Carolina’s Republican Gov. Pat McCrory threw his political weight behind HB-2, a measure commonly known as the “bathroom bill.” The law, which required transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding with their biological sex, prompted an immense public outcry that resulted in business boycotts, widespread public condemnation — including from Donald Trump himself — and eventually, the end of McCrory’s governorship.

Today, the landscape around the issue could not be more different, as shown by The Argument’s latest national survey of registered voters. In fact, 52% of voters now support legislation requiring trans people to use bathrooms corresponding with their biological sex, while just 33% oppose such a bill.

This is a sharp and dramatic change from the way things stood at the beginning of the Trump era, when Americans consistently rejected the concept of bathroom restrictions for trans people. In a Pew Research Center poll from September 2016, 51% of Americans said that trans people should be allowed to use public restrooms of the gender they identify as. Months later, the Public Religion Research Institute released a similar finding showing 53% of Americans were opposed to laws that would require trans people to use bathrooms corresponding to their birth sex.

Today, this type of support seems like a distant memory.

2016 was before everyone knew what troons even were.
Nobody had a fucking clue about what was coming except the Westboro Baptist Church for some reason, they were talking about schools pushing faggotry and replacing the American flags with rainbow flags back in 2004 but we laughed back then.

People's good will was taken for granted and heavily abused, now most of us know better.
 
It's like leaving your teenager home alone and they throw a wild party and wreck your house. The world trusted that troons would behave themselves in those private places, and instead they got pervy in the locker rooms and rapey in the bathrooms.

Troons abused their privilege and now they must go back into the men's room. We've seen with our own eyes that troons cannot be trusted around women.
 
I’m wary of any article that tries to derive public sentiment from polls. It just doesn’t work. That’s just a vocal minority of 3003 people. There’s 350 million people in the USA. I suspect hating trannies more widely accepted than this article would let you want to believe.
 
From their introduction to the mainstream to 'fatigue status' in record time.

Speedrunners Supreme, I'd expect no less from the most autistic community beside trains enjoyers.
 
Gee, could it be because people don't like being forced to accept things without understanding why it's in their best interest and even that it works against their interests?

Transgenderism offered a series of muddled and often nonsensical explanations for allowing people to just identify as they want, carte blanche and without having to be accountable to anyone else. And there are people out there that think that nobody would game that system?

"Oh, but why would they lie?" they cry.

I don't know. People lie all the time for good reasons, for stupid reasons. Just because you don't understand why someone would lie, it doesn't mean that reason doesn't exist.
 
it is so refreshing that normies don't feel much compulsion to lie and pretend anymore. Everyone knows that troons are entirely typical for their sex, they're also just crazy and/or in a cult. The relief of being able to admit this in public settings is palpable, though people who were early to the party will always be a little bitter bc of whatever they lost for being ahead of the curve.

Their chance was tied to being able to act like normal people and to pass as the opposite sex. so they really never had a chance.

People lie just for the joy of lying.
 
Ditching the whole "trans rights" thing might get the Dems a few votes back, but the issue I have with this whole thing is that party lied, schemed and bullied the public into accepting something that we all knew was totally fucking insane and you've made it impossible to trust you ever again.

Try an apology, get your more demented members under control and hope you don't get your arses sued would be my advice.
