Our town had 3 hours just of public comment re: we must become a sanctuary city so the trans can use any bathroom they choose. Kansas state law goes into effect on July 1 stating you must use the bathroom that corresponds to to the sex you were born. I’m not kidding when I say there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. It was even said that this is a matter of life and death. In the end, the city commission deferred the decision to make Lawrence, KS a sanctuary city. Shaking my head- we would leave if the housing market hadn’t collapsed by 45% in this county- and we couldn’t afford the new mortgage rates now anyway.

We had about two hours just for a pride month proclamation they’ve been doing for about six years, but THIS year we surprised them with a LOT of resistance be cause the sleeping giant is awake to the woke. It still passed even after one board member—who was very much FOR it—inadvertently called it “sin.” 😂😂😂 It was one of the most entertaining public comments sessions ever! One member abstained and the board attorney tried to make her vote but she refused. My brain is fried!

So a trans person who needs to use a public bathroom will travel to Lawrence? OK, got it.

I will say that being on the road ALOT, and drinking coffee ALOT, the whole bathroom thing has worked out well for me. If it's a facility with a one hole men's room with a door and lock and a one hole women's room with a door and a lock, it's fair game. Before all of this nonsense I wouldn't even have considered using the ladies room. Now if it's free I don't think twice! Out of respect for all of you of the fairer sex, I'm always sure to leave your restroom as clean as I found it 😉

redpilled - me too! Whichever rest room is open, that's how I identify at the moment.

Governments would not have to make such rules if there were not a growing group of intact males pretending to be women going into the ladies' restrooms where women and girls go and pull their pants down to pee.

If you are a person who has transitioned - meaning you have done the deed and wacked your penis off (ahem) then people do not object to the person going into the stall and doing their business. You go in with your junk displayed for the women to see, expect a man to be waiting for you outside the bathroom door.. AS IT SHOULD BE!

Wow, 3 HOURS! Our mayor will cut off public comments if people start making the same comments over and over after about 10 of them or so - any subsequent speaker has to have a different point to make if they don't want to be cut off. Usually it's a neighborhood opposing a nearby proposed development. Yes, first amendment, but as one who sits through some of these, I am kind of glad he does that. But what happened to the housing market!? Is Lawrence the canary in the coal mine? as my neck of the woods in Jackson County MO is still moving at last years prices, albeit more slowly than when rates were dirt cheap.
