Election Day is 2 weeks away and we really wanna start hammering out who we’re endorsing for the Turtleboy Ticket. As we stated earlier this week, we are not endorsing yes or no on question 1, because we respect nurses, and no matter which way we vote it will be voting against nurses since they’re divided on the issue. Question 2 is stupid, symbolic ballot measure that urges the State to pass a 28th Amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision. Personally, I believe the people shouldn’t overturn Supreme Court decisions by voting on ballot questions, so we’re gonna go with no on that one as well.

But really the one with the biggest implications is Question 3, which would potentially get rid of an already existing law that allows people to choose their gender identity and be accommodated as such:

This law adds gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds for discrimination in places of public accommodation, resort, or amusement. Such grounds also include race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, disability, and ancestry. A “place of public accommodation, resort or amusement” is defined in existing law as any place that is open to and accepts or solicits the patronage of the general public, such as hotels, stores, restaurants, theaters, sports facilities, and hospitals. “Gender identity” is defined as a person’s sincerely held gender-related identity, appearance, or behavior, whether or not it is different from that traditionally associated with the person’s physiology or assigned sex at birth.

This law prohibits discrimination based on gender identity in a person’s admission to or treatment in any place of public accommodation. The law requires any such place that has separate areas for males and females (such as restrooms) to allow access to and full use of those areas consistent with a person’s gender identity. The law also prohibits the owner or manager of a place of public accommodation from using advertising or signage that discriminates on the basis of gender identity.

I have no problem with a law that would ban a hotel or a restaurant from denying the right of a transgender person from doing business there. Transgender people are people and they shouldn’t denied access to things, so long as they’re not infringing on the privacy rights of others. When there’s dong in the women’s locker room at the YMCA, that’s a problem. Women shouldn’t have to look at dong in the YMCA locker room. That’s just common sense. And this law so loosely defines transgender that there will be plenty of dong everywhere now.

Three big problems with this:

1. How does the law define what person is “sincerely” transgender, and what person isn’t? If you see a dude going into the women’s locker room how do you test his sincerity that he is in fact a transgender woman? You can’t. You just have to take his word for it. Don’t tell me that it will never happen, because it has. If you’re not prepared for what to do in a situation like that, then you shouldn’t vote to have a law like this.
2. This FORCES private businesses like restaurants to let people use the bathroom or locker room of their choice based on their “sincere” gender identity. It’s one thing if a public institution (library, city hall) is forced to do this, but to force a privately owned business to participate in bunk science (the idea that we get to choose our gender) is un-American.
3. This law makes it perfectly legal for boys to become transgender girls, and then compete against biological girls in high school athletics. And if you don’t think this will be exploited, just look what happened in Connecticut last year:

A biological boy not only won the girl’s 100 and 200 meter races at the State Championship meet, he smashed both state records. Don’t tell me there aren’t loopholes, because this is one of them. Oh, and he competed on the BOY’S team in the winter, where his times were good, but not State Championship good. And did I mention the second place finisher was also a transgender girl who previously competed as a boy?

If you think this is normal, or good, or progressive, you are a very, very stupid person. There’s no other way around it. You don’t like girls as much as you like boys who say they are girls. Just admit it. You are so “progressive” that you are allowing biological boys to beat and take things from biological girls. There is nothing these girls can do to beat these boys, because there are biological differences between boys and girls. They can’t train harder because no matter what their ceiling will be lower due to the fact that they are girls. This is the whole point of separating genders in sports. If we didn’t do this then boys would win everything. We separate the genders to create fairness for girls. And now “progressives” want to undo the gains that feminists fought for when it came to girl’s athletics, and give it right back to the boys.

This is why you should vote No on Question 3 – because our daughters and our sisters shouldn’t have to compete against boys who say they are girls. If you say it won’t happen you are willfully ignoring the fact that it has happened in the state next to us. There will be much, much more of this in the future. Maybe these two boys are “sincere” about being transgender, but eventually some boy who is “insincere” will do it as well, and you’ll have no way of measuring whether or not he is in fact “sincere.” I figured it would take something absolutely insane, like a boy breaking the state record in a girl’s track event, in order for this to change, but evidently that hasn’t happened.

Of course Elizabeth Warren is a big proponent of Yes on 3:

No matter what hateful “redefinitions” come out of the Trump administration, trans people exist & deserve to be free from discrimination. Trans rights are on the ballot in MA this November. It came up at our debate last Friday – and our opponent smeared trans people. #YesOn3 pic.twitter.com/XJClsNyTdm

She’s such a dirty liar. “Our opponent smeared trans people.” This is what they say about you when you stand up for girls now. You hate “trans people.” Because trans people now come before women on the oppression scale. And these biological girls have no choice but to go along with it, because if they DARE to speak out against this they’ll be accused of trying to “smear trans people” by charlatans like Pocahontas.

Of course she framed it like it’s discrimination:

And she’s right, it is discrimination. We discriminate all the time. There are all boys and all girls high schools. Boys are not allowed to compete in girls sports. Transgender girls aren’t barred from competing, they just have to compete against other people who share the same biology as them.

And when Geoff Diehl, in his church mouse voice, pointed out that loopholes like the one in Connecticut exist….

Pocahontas responded by calling it an “ugly, ugly smear”

Because it never happens. Except when it does:

One state over. If you vote Yes on 3, this is what you’re voting for. You’re free to do as you please, but just understand that by doing so you no longer get to say that you give a shit about women. You don’t.
