What credentials do you require for somebody to use the women's toilet at your DZ?

Morally, you're right, but the explanation might need tweaking. Would you also say that if for years you have claimed your yappy dog was a service dog then the law should agree?

Similarly, many people with concealed firearms have secured concealed carry permits and respect the dangers of mishandling a firearm. But for the purposes of your comparison, risk exists in some public spaces regarding those who do not.

Of course. But if someone says "that's so gay" no one today thinks that means "that is so happy." The meaning has been changed. I agree! Who decides what they are? You . . . or them? How about a man who looks androgynous? Should you be able to decide "hey, you look like a chick - head to the women's room or I am calling the cops!" I'd argue that it is up to her, even if you think they are a woman (and even if they have XX chromosomes, as happens in AIS.) How about a trans woman who is transitioning, living as a woman, but who hasn't had surgery yet? How about if they have had top but not bottom surgery, and are wanting to wait a bit before the bottom surgery? Who decides what gender they are? Again, I would argue that they do. Nope. Because there is an actual, medical difference between a vaccinated and an unvaccinated person. There is no such clear difference in transgender people. (Or even in AIS people.) Again, it's like a woman (or man) changing their name after marriage. It's up to them what they want their name to be. There is no "medical reason" for them to change their name; they just want to, and most people do not have a problem with that. They can, of course, misuse that and try to use the name change to cover up a criminal past or something. But we would not say "NO MORE NAME CHANGES WHEN YOU GET MARRIED!" just because .01% of people who change their names do so for nefarious reasons.

Just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know that The_Don has left the building. On September 24th Don was working on their property and encountered a yellow jackets nest while on the lawn mower. He told his wife Jean that he was stung approximately five times. He had no previous history of any type of bee sting allergies. Within approximately 5 minutes of parking the lawn mower and getting into the house he began to have breathing problems, went into anaphylactic shock and passed away. We met Don and Jean at the first Dublin boogie where Don made his first skydive. He became my right hand at the event and helped us tremendously as the event grew. He ultimately went on to complete AFF at several different drop zones and made Skydive Atlanta his home DZ. Jean went on to make her first jump soon after and became a licensed skydiver also. I have lost a lot of friends over the years both in and out of the sport, I have to say that this is a tough one.

You win the dumb comparison of the day award.
