quote [ A sexual predator who falsely claimed to be transgender and preyed on women at two Toronto shelters... ]
Because intellectual honesty means acknowledging opposing arguments.
Yes, I'm throwing our resident troll a bone here. Not that I agree with numbers' beliefs, to be clear, but because of the above reason.
Interestingly, I haven't heard anyone on either side reference this case when talking about the NC law, even though (or perhaps because) it predates this whole debate by several years. One bad apple etc., but we can't claim this "never happens" because it clearly did at least once.

Um... sorry but no. A simple claim of being transgender doesn't make you transgender.
How can you be so dense as to not get even that? Oh, right. You are using hyper-exaggeration to make an invalid point.
Having a feeling of your sexual identity being different than what you are born makes you transgender.
It's pretty simple. In your argument, a bigot who hates blacks and mexicans but claims he isn't a bigot, isn't a bigot; when in fact he is.

Edit: see? The first answer in your link even agrees with me.

A transgender person should use the restroom that corresponds to his or her gender identity.
