[There] is another man whose story has never been told before, who is speaking out publicly for the first time here. His name is John Crane, and he was a senior official in the Department of Defense who fought to provide fair treatment for whistleblowers such as Thomas Drake – until Crane himself was forced out of his job and became a whistleblower as well. His testimony reveals a crucial new chapter in the Snowden story – and Crane's failed battle to protect earlier whistleblowers should now make it very clear that Snowden had good reasons to go public with his revelations.
During dozens of hours of interviews, Crane told me how senior Defense Department officials repeatedly broke the law to persecute Drake. First, he alleged, they revealed Drake's identity to the Justice Department; then they withheld (and perhaps destroyed) evidence after Drake was indicted; finally, they lied about all this to a federal judge. The supreme irony? In their zeal to punish Drake, these Pentagon officials unwittingly taught Snowden how to evade their clutches when the 29-year-old NSA contract employee blew the whistle himself.

Azuma - I begin to suspect that you live in a very circumscribed world. It is clear that you believe that I also live in such a small world. There are bigger issues than whether confused individuals should be permitted to pee in a potty reserved for girls. In fact, that isn't even an issue in the real world. Please, expand your horizons. Deviants and deviancy is only a small part of life.

...what the fuck? Are you referring to my attempts to reason with Kurenai or something?
Seriously, what the hell was that little cranium-shart just now about? Sounds like some kind of overemotional deflecting tactic to me. Almost as if you don't like it when someone points out that you are, as a paleocon, neither flesh nor fowl in today's political world, yet STILL have some of the worst traits of the people you claim to be above...

Whole thread is derailed so why not. It would seem to me that the people who are truly confused are the ones who turn me away from the men's room.
I would suggest before engaging in bathroom policing, that one should at least become educated on the effects of HRT on the body. Cisgendered women could get hurt! At the very least, I relish the idea of forcing 9,999 “real” women to present their birth certificate at the bathroom door for the chance of catching the 1/10,000 "confused" one. At least in the time between beginning the “real life test” and getting said birth certificate updated.
Believe the feminist lies! Bathroom rapists around every corner! Gender is a social construct! Only you can rush in to the women's room to rough up the pervert you just saw going in! The matrix¹ has you….
