Apple Among 53 Companies Supporting Transgender Student in Supreme Court Case

They aren't, but it's very good when you need to blame someone or something.

Again, it's impossible to fight that logic. Buy a history book.

So does this mean my iMac is male or female? Damn I'm confused.

To say "white people are privileged" is plain racist to begin with. White privilege is to say anybody who is not of color is racist. Its reverse racism. If you accuse somebody of something because of their color of skin without any evidence that's called racism.

I am really, really, sick of reading all this transgender/bathroom/etc. crap. The human species is male and female. If someone makes a CHOICE to live a deviant lifestyle, I don't see why they should get special attention and privileges.

Would you say the same if you were transgender?

 

[iphone1027]

And I feel it's very ignorant to think white people aren't privileged, but okay.

Tell that to the poor homeless white guy out on the street..see what they reply.

It's only a fact. Whatever happened long ago is no longer a case, the problem is that it is very handy when you need to blame people for your own failures and life decisions.

Female. Her name is Siri.

What if the iPad Pro is self identifying as the new Mac Pro?

We are talking about the present right now, the world we live in now is what matters.

White peoples were privileged forever, but that's changing right now and white people arent allowed to have a voice anymore.

 

[Paul Dawkins]

I would be mentally ill, so probably what I say would have to be peer reviewed.

 

[jwp1964]

If the transgender male is the slightly overweight person with the blue "ACLU" then I as a male have no objection for him using the male toilet, and I think many females would be surprised / worried / weirded out if he followed Trump's instructions and used the female toilets.


That's a deeply un-christian attitude. There's no deviant life style. God in his infinite wisdom gives some people the wrong body, and many affected fix their problem. Even in Iran, the religious leaders accept transgender people and _encourage_ them to make changes to live in the right body. Do you really want to show yourself as being more backward than these people?

What you say is like saying "members of the human species have two arms and two legs". Well, some don't. That doesn't make them deviant.

Are you touting this Iran?

Alternative fact

Time to get rid of gender bathrooms then or people are impinging on my right as a straight man to use whatever bathroom I want when other men can use it no problem. Who is to say that I don't feel like a woman but chose to dress as a man? Trust me when a bunch of dudes start going into the womens bathroom and dropping big smelly dumps they won't be a fan, and when all the women start taking up the stalls in the mens bathroom because their line is too long the men won't be a fan either

What about when someone identifies as a cat and requires kitty litter in all restrooms? When does this stop?

What does this case have to do with the tech companies?

They are CLUELESS to the real world and it's obvious.

With or without the pencil? That's a bit crucial in this conversation.

Alternative fact

In you alternative universe, but in this universe it's THE FACT.

When that happens, we can discuss it. If you have any examples, feel free to post them.

And what you tried to do has actual a name: "whataboutism".

 

[thisisnotmyname]

All men should be allowed to use the women restrooms... Nothing like seeing a grown ass man taking a piss right next to your 8 year old daughter...

Your eight year old daughter uses a urinal? In that case you should be supporting her right to use whatever bathroom matches her identity.

Where can I get me some of this "white privilege"? I've worked darn hard for what I have, as have my family and friends (and not all are white).

Yes, I've had interaction with the cops and yes they have darn near pulled guns on us (thought we were in a stolen car). And when I have an interaction with the cops I was taught to be respectful. The side of the road is not the place to argue - that is for court. It's also not the time to try to fight or any of that other nonsense that gets people in trouble.

These companies just reiterated that you'll be on the wrong side of history if you disagree with them in the end.

Ah yes. Anecdotes. Those are the best kind of evidence.

We've had same sex marriage for a while now and I haven't seen a rash of people demanding to marry turtles yet. Your ad absurdum fallacies don't hold water.

He was a good, family man with a "wide stance." The liberal media was out to get him.

The important point though is that he was manspreading, maybe someone wanted to sit down beside him in the stall and his wide stance prevented that.

 

[tito2020]

Why not remove all gender signs from doors and make all restrooms co-ed?

Its all thialands fault they started this trans thing

 

[Juan007]

Good for Apple for standing up for human rights! People have to use the bathroom, its basic human biology. Potty police should go back to first grade!

I'm just going to leave this here

Loretta?
