THE NEEDS OF THE MANY OUTWEIGH THE NEEDS OF THE FEW

Yesterday I started a rant about the ridiculousness of the United States Federal Government injecting itself into our lives yet again, by announcing that the gender of visitors to either of the two available public restrooms in federal buildings may be somewhat flexible. In the 'old days' (you remember them, last month) men were assigned to the mens room and women were assigned to the ladies room.  This apparently has inflicted on the civil rights of transgender individuals. This is a classic case of a  solution in search of a problem. For example, let's imagine a man (and there certainly are some) who can effectively dress like women so that no one can really tell without a close personal inspection that they are truly male. What really is the problem?  I assume that people like this have been using the ladies room already and probably without causing a stir. I have found multiple sources that estimate that there might be .03% transgender individuals in America.  For this tiny fraction of people, all the rest of us must bend to their will?  Two days ago I used a 'Star Trek' reference to make a point - and I will again today. Who can question the the wisdom of the logic of Mr. Spock?

The overwhelming majority of Americans found our restroom and locker room policies more than adequate since forever. One thing that progressive liberals enjoy is the fundamental change of the United States of America.  Our President promised this before his inauguration - and sadly - he has certainly delivered.

No more rants for a while.  I am now on my way to Salt Lake City for International QuiltMarket.  I am  in the middle of the third and final week of my recovery from surgery.  It is time to focus on eating right, exercising effectively and working...
