“I don’t want to get into the bathroom issue.  Because it’s a very small
number of people we’re talking about, and it’s ripped apart our country,
so they’ll have to settle whatever the law finally agrees.” –   
Donald Trump addresses the trans bathroom issue.  Which begs the question –
if it’s a very small number of people, how is it ripping apart our country?

Last week, US Capitol Police arrested a man after a complaint by Representative Nancy Mace.  She took to X (as one does after being attacked) and wrote this: “I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man.”  Typically an asterisk in a word is to avoid typing a swear or some blasphemous utterance.  I’m not sure the word “trans” really falls under that category.  Mace has led the charge to ban trans people from restrooms designated for their current gender, saying the spaces should be limited to people of a particular biological birth gender.  I do agree with one thing – nobody should be physically assaulted.  Mace claims she has injuries: “one new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm”.  She said, “All the violence and threats keep proving our point.”  Only if they happened in a bathroom, says moi.
