So long before people get to the point where they might feel betrayed or tricked, it’s a safe bet if they need to know I’ll be the first telling them. I understand everyone isn’t like me but those that aren’t, certainly don’t want to draw attention to themselves by preying on women in the washroom.<br />We feel we are women (not just pretending!) and just want that recognised, so tell me all you “normal” men and women out there: how many women do you know that would assault another woman? Not just in a ladies room but anywhere? <br />As for Scott, can you see people’s genetic makeup with your naked eye? I didn’t think so. So who are you to say we aren’t women?<br />An old saying springs to mind: If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then safe bet....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-12083589689227752852010-01-24T10:35:45.196+11:002010-01-24T10:35:45.196+11:00The man is a menace.The man is a menace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893549348934337804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-4923950734370665962010-01-23T06:20:32.402+11:002010-01-23T06:20:32.402+11:00@Wendy in Warren, Michigan-
"· I will stand ...@Wendy in Warren, Michigan-<br /><br />"· I will stand strong against illegal immigration by verifying a valid social security number before issuing anyone a driver’s license, an issue Representative Dave Agema has been pushing for 3 years."<br /><br />-Interesting. In most states, a Driver's license has no dependency on a Social Security "number" (after all, the later is a "number" for a particular tax, and while a lot of people are subject to that tax, not everyone is subject to that tax). Also, he'll have to be careful of <a href="" rel="nofollow">PUBLIC LAW 108–458—SEC. 7214. "INTELLIGENCE REFORM AND TERRORISM<br />PREVENTION ACT OF 2004"</a> - although it doesn't prevent exactly what he promises, it does limit what he could do without violating that statute.<br /><br />However, honestly, I'd take "stand strong against illegal immigration" as code for "hates (recent) immigrants, and will sell any other minority he doesn't like out for a minor perceived advantage in a heartbeat - such, as, say MtF Transexuals - even if it takes down groups with minor casual relationships to the targeted group - such as 3rd generation immigrants from the same countries as the targeted immigrants, or Intersexed citizens". Then, were I a voter in that state, I'd hope that their opponent was better.<br /><br />However, I'm not a resident of Michigan, and I'm highly unlikely to be eligible to vote there, so best of luck. :)<br /><br />P.S.: I have tried to explain rocket science to a 3-year old. It didn't go well. :-PZimbelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-33085985021255614582010-01-22T16:50:59.587+11:002010-01-22T16:50:59.587+11:00Thank you for posting this Zoe.
Actually, the oth...Thank you for posting this Zoe.<br /><br />Actually, the other three items (in my opinion) aren't bad:<br /><br />· I will stand strong against illegal immigration by verifying a valid social security number before issuing anyone a driver’s license, an issue Representative Dave Agema has been pushing for 3 years.<br /><br />· I will actively push to encrypt the traceable RFID chip in the enhanced driver’s license.<br /><br />· I will work tirelessly to repeal the over $100 million dollar tax increase on drivers in the form of driver responsibility fees.<br /><br />I would guess the anti-transgender one:<br /><br />· I will make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver’s license in any circumstance.<br /><br />Is in there due to his mistaken religious beliefs. I know several black / African-American people who vote consistantly Democrat but when it comes to LGBT people do not have any compassion or acceptance for them at all. I would guess this explains his stance on transgender persons.<br /><br />I have to people of this mindset, and their concept of gender is appearance based. If the person has a penis = male. Trying to explain intersex and naturally occuring xx, xy, 47xxy, etc. genetic variations to them is like trying to explain rocket science to a three year old.<br /><br />You don't have to show a driver's license to use the bathroom in Michigan, just that if someone calls the police they may have a complaint. I don't think there is a specific law in Michigan on the bathroom issue - just charged with disorderly conduct or trespassing.<br /><br />Another potential problem is if the complaining person hates you that much will they lie and say you exposed yourself or tried to molest them? That possibility is there regardless of the law.<br /><br />Anyway Zoe, thanks for continuing to fight the good fight.<br /><br />Wendy in Warren, MichiganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-59534681839191785992010-01-22T13:01:19.459+11:002010-01-22T13:01:19.459+11:00Nicely put, Zoe.

Understanding something new (to them), is just too much like work. It is also because from the moment we are born, we begin to learn from the collective consciousness, which is slow to evolve. We are "programmed" by our environment and encouraged NOT to be free thinkers.<br />Thank you for contributing truth to this silly society of sheeple.Makaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718129761859583735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-14042483527567472052010-01-22T10:18:04.243+11:002010-01-22T10:18:04.243+11:00I'm a former resident of Michigan and I sent h...I'm a former resident of Michigan and I sent him an email saying that it's bigots like him that make me glad I left.
