Transgendering the local library

The difference being books like “Chrisitan F.” gave an outlook to keep away from drugs !!

While modern LGBT culture sells&promotes SSA and gender identity disorders, in a “Heroin Chic” kind of way.
 
There’s a school of thought that a lot of young people read such books in order to vicariously experience the thrills of the weird stuff going on in the book without having to actually do it.

While the drug and alcohol books always showed those things as really bad, there was a definite trend in books about teenage sex to make it more and more okay. I think Judy Blume’s “Forever” was the most controversial one because the couple has a lot of graphic sex and the girl suffers no ill effects and at the end is starting a new relationship with some older guy. The boy in the story gets his heart broke when she dumps him, but I doubt boys were reading that book.
 
“Lolita” comes to mind…

Plenty of those, Thelema’s “Do as thou will” takes countless forms. Attraction for the forbidden fruit doesn’t change.

Tony Blair’s advice to the youth proves how successful the former has been.

Every other french movie I’ve seen is focused on a teenage girl and her first romance…Gets old real fast. [But I enjoyed the “forever” reference, the synopsis repeats the formula - adding age disparity.]

So, we’ve gone from pederasty, to sorcery, to a UK prime-minister advocating Clintonian practices to the youth…

Where were we? Oh yes, transgender bathrooms in public libraries and pro-LGBT literature for kindergarten and grade school.
 
My folks weren’t generally into censorship because they wanted me to read, but that was a book I was NOT allowed to read.
Although comparing it to some books that got past their radar, it was relatively tame.
 
Single-user bathrooms that don’t have a designated sex aren’t “transgender bathrooms” in my book.

As someone else noted, in a library context they are likely “family restrooms” where one person can take another person (a child, an elderly or disabled person) and help them or keep an eye on them, regardless of the genders of the two people involved.
I’ll be honest, I don’t see tons of trans people hanging around the library, but I do see tons of kids with parents (not always same gender) and quite a few elderly with caregivers (not always the same gender). It’s one place where four individual, large bathrooms make a lot of sense.

I suspect this is behind the “coolness factor” of having an LGBT friend. They can watch from a safe distance and get brownie points for being broad minded.
 
If these people are under about age 16, or maybe even a little older, then check back with “friend” in 10 years and see if they’re still LGBT or did they revert to plain ol’ vanilla. A lot of them are just experimenting or trying to be cool or rebellious as you say.
 
I was looking at the blurb about Ryan Anderson’s book, When Harry Became Sally at Amazon, and Ryan makes the point that most children with gender dysphoria grow out of it as adults. I looked at some reviews of the scientific literature on this issue, and it’s true that a majority do not grow up to be transgender adults. But what the blurb on Anderson’s book doesn’t mention is that most of those kids who don’t grow up to be transgender, do grow up to be gay or lesbian. This is interesting because a lot of gay men and lesbians were gender non-conforming as children.
 
Public libraries prove that the free availability of information doesn’t overcome laziness or stupidity. In our degraded time they are more of a homeless shelter and propaganda factory for the latest idea to hasten the end of civilization.
 
I wonder if everyone here realizes they have the ability to ask for certain books to be purchased by a local public library and can also file a dispute with a library board over offensive holdings?
 
Hi everyone, I read the article but didn’t understand it too well. In any case, after reading the answers here it seems alot of folks support this change. I’m wondering if (I don’t know what the reason was for the change because I don’t think the article mentioned that)the change was due to pressure from transgender groups, does that matter? Because it seems that if the reason they did this was due to strong arming in some way(as I’ve read in other articles sometime ago) than that doesn’t matter because I can bring my little son in more comfortably now without people rushing me.
Am I misunderstanding.
Thank you all

I’m curious: if I now have to take my young son into a single restroom (rather than a single stall in a larger restroom), how does this keep others from knocking on the door and annoying/hurrying us? People who will hurry others when they’re only in a stall surely won’t feel any resistance to hurrying others up in a single restroom. What am I missing here?
 
Well, they might not be able to peek in through the side of the stall at least. 😉 So they would be easier to ignore.

There’s someone at work who is so self-conscious about that that they take a long piece of toilet paper and hang it so that it covers the gap.

Personally, I never noticed it. Then I went to India and Europe, and when I got back, I became really conscious of it as well. I haven’t done anything about it like the person at work, but I’m hoping that all stalls get replaced with something more private.

At the very least, though, most places aren’t like this:
