    If I want to create a law that prevents your daughter from getting raped then devote your energy to another law. This one literally would have no impact on that crime being committed.

    Honestly?

    It only happens when people really want it to. Usually the people who complain about it are the ones who enjoy it the most.

    In my 1st post I stared I've got a son not a daughter.

    I dont have to spend my energy, Gov Abbott is spending his energy for me.

    The Governor Abbott wants very little to do with it, this is all Lt.Gov Dan "AM Shock Jock" Patrick's deal. Just an FYI.

    Texas politicians need to devote energy towards improving our schools. Your son growing up and learning in Texas' middling school system will surely impact him a lot more than this law.

    I saw Abbott on tv the other day talking about this and was in total agreement with him.

    No Way this passes with Bob McNair and Jerry Jones owning teams in the state. Those 2 will work Austin behind the scenes to kill this bill. Both owners want more Superbowls.

    Hell, you are probably right. My fault for giving people too much rope.

    Is there an issue with girls being fearful of going to the bathroom or getting raped in them now? If not, then what's the issue? The current laws seem to work just fine.

    No it's not. The NBA and NFL have no obligation to hold their national events in the state of Texas. They are taking anyone's money away - they are just not going to bring new money into the state.

    LOL, if Bob had anything to say about it it would have been passed 10 years ago. Read more.

    gay guy was jerkong off in the shower next to me at the gym with the curtains open and kept checking me out

    it doesnt really bother me.

    now the hypocrisy comes when women come and clean the men's restroom, I've been checked out by the cleaning ladies plenty of times waiting for me to undress

    You understand the law you're supporting would require a woman who feels more like a man and is likely taking male hormones and is attracted to women to go into bathrooms with your hypothetical daughter, yes? In this weird world where transgender people apparently go around raping everyone, you think that's better than having a man who feels he's a woman and is attracted to men using the women's bathroom?

    How do you know the cleaning ladies were women? They could have been transgendered. ;)
