With every action, every statement, there are always, and I do mean always, unintended and/or intended consequences. The issue for me at this point is President Trump’s executive order regarding the issue of gender identity. Are the consequences intended or unintended? Anyone who has followed my blog, my Facebook pages or X (formerly known as Twitter … sheesh) is aware that I am politically speaking very conservative. My bride, The Blue Magnet, is very politically liberal. That has led to a stalemate in conversations regarding political issues due to the passion we both bring to a discussion of political issues. Today was no exception.

We were on the way to the grocery store (are they still called “grocery stores”) when she started to tell me about the e-mails she had received from upper management. The furthest we got into the conversation before it disintegrated into another stalemate was that the e-mails were informing her of all the things that were no longer allowed. I asked her to forward the e-mail to me which she did. To my uncomplicated mind it was typical government legal mumbo jumbo. The bottom line, however, is apparently that the effort to correct the perceived wrongs, generated by democrat’s over-zealous attempts to include every conceivable gender identity in their rush to be “inclusive” has created a conservative backlash.

Witness Representative Nancy Mace. She managed to get the first transgendered member of congress banned from the women’s restrooms at the capital. I am terribly sorry that Nancy Mace was, according to her, raped at 16 years old. No woman should have to endure that ultimate invasion. But, for her to inflict her pain on someone whose only crime is having been born in a body that didn’t match her emotional makeup is beyond the pale if you ask me. Ms. Mace comes across as a bitter intolerant person. She has allowed her personal life experience to negatively affect the life of another person who had nothing to do with Mace’s unhappy experience.

From what I can find, Sarah McBride is one of those people who was born with a dramatic disparity in physical body and emotional makeup. It happens. Comparatively speaking, that mismatch of nature is comparatively rare. According to a recent study, fewer than one and a half percent of males will have this mismatch of nature. I don’t know how accurate that is, but it does seem to be a fair assessment.

My message to Nancy Mace is that she is far safer with Sarah McBride in the restroom with her than Sarah is in any men’s restroom including those in the nation’s capital. Nancy is only safer in her own mind. As I share in my presentations, should a person who is making an obvious attempt to behave and appear as a female there is no danger due to the fact that most often, they are the one who is the most uncomfortable. Now, if that person is garishly dressed more like a hooker with exaggerated makeup then a woman should be worried.

Since I started this article, Ms. Mace has taken to the house floor for nearly an hour to publicly accuse her ex-fiancé and associates of sexual abuse and various associated crimes. These are “normal” men apparently, not transsexual individuals who are making a genuine effort to be feminine. So, once again, Ms. Mace has shown that she doesn’t have a clue as to what people like Sarah McBride are attempting to be. She might consider a difference that I have pointed out in the past between trans people and drag queens. Drag queens are humorously imitating what they perceive as femininity and the trans effort is aimed at emulating the women we aspire to be like. The sad part of that is the number of transwomen who fall into the belief that they are real women in the wrong body. That belief leads to a sad and unhappy existence.

Intended or unintended consequences? I don’t know for certainty that Ms. Mace’s intentions were to do considerable harm to the trans women in our country or not. My belief is that her intentions were to protect women from “men”. I have only seen a “man” in a women’s restroom 2 times in since I first walked into a women’s restroom and in neither case were they taking their time getting in and out.

All of that said, then the unintended consequences would have to be that an entire class of people who are the least likely to do harm to women in a restroom are the ones who have now been denied a simple privilege and at the same time placed in harms way due to one woman’s intolerance and ignorance.

Yeah, Nancy Mace that would be you and I’m keenly aware that you could care less.
