“It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable,” said Republican Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, the bill’s sponsor.
So, no there isn’t any evidence (at least that I’ve seen) for trans people being predatory in bathrooms. I have seen lots of stories about trans and “trans-looking” cis women being assaulted, threatened, and harassed in bathrooms. In all fairness though trans people are about 1% of the US population (~3.3m individuals) so statistically it’s happened at least once, probably.
This has nothing to do with protecting kids but I wanted to add a few more bible verses that Christians also should contemplate more often.
Matthew 7:15-20, that is red text (a typographical feature of some bibles, mostly the king james version, where direct quotes from Jesus are set in red text)
Matthew 10:14, That’s also red text.
Romans 12:18
1 John 3:17, a small caveat to this one: brother may refer to other Christians (which is how some versions translate it) but Jesus used brother and sister to refer to all people, and since John was his bestie, it seems like the more fitting interpretation.
Nailed it on all counts.
The most heartbreaking thing about religion is how hard its adherents work to NOT actually read, understand, and live the virtues in their scriptures but instead re-interprete, cherry-pick, and choose the most vile parts of them only to tragically embody the evils they accuse everyone else of committing.
