Bruce Burchett: Potty paranoia

Regarding the April 22 news article “Trump, Cruz join bathroom law fray”: Ted Cruz said he supports House Bill 2 because he does not want to leave his two daughters alone in a bathroom with “a fully grown man,” by which he means a transgender female, born male, transitioned to female, living as such.

He must be fine with homosexual women and transgender males – born female, now male and living as such, people with muscles and mustaches.

For Ted’s kids and others to be truly safe, we need separate facilities for heterosexual females, homosexual females, heterosexual transgender males and homosexual transgender males. That’s four, and that’s just for the girls. It’s the same for the boys – eight altogether.

That’s a lot of potties. By the time some of the children figure out where they can go, it might be too late.
