>> Moreover, the people telling you, "Just give us this one thing and we'll go away," are lying. <<

"Once you have paid him the danegeld, you will never get rid of the Dane."

>> the same arguments they use about keeping toilets safe for "biological" women are the same ones used for keeping toilets safe for white women just a few generations ago. <<

True. But arguments over toilets can be solved by adding single-user unisex toilets, which is what we already have in places too small for more than one. As high as the murder rate is, I suspect transfolk would be safer in a single cubicle with a solid locking door than sharing a bathroom with anyone. And it's a lot easier to install a toilet than to convince bigots that other people have rights. By all means keep arguing, but if you want people to have a place to pee, unisex will go faster.

>> I will find someone else to whom to give my vote in the next election. I encourage all of my fellow Americans to do the same thing. <<

Nice for people who have options. My ticket here consisted of the Presidential candidates, a handful of local offices with only a single Republican candidate for each, and judges who could only be voted for or against. This fails my standards of a valid election, but nobody cares.
