Free to Identify as Anything I Want


For those who do not know me, I’m Samuel Alano and I’m a straight, white male. I’m 6 feet 2, 195 lbs., have grey hair and brown eyes. At least, that’s how I actually am. But thanks to a ridiculous group of accommodating division-loving progressive leftists, I am now free to claim to be, or “identify” in the current socially acceptable choice of words, as anything I want. Is it not our fortune to know President Obama has enough free time to worry about such things as people’s right to use whichever bathroom or shower facility they desire? And I mistakenly thought he’d be bogged down with the fight against ISIS or his failing economy. No, not on his time table. 

Since directing the Justice Department, which also finds itself unburdened by bothersome job-related onuses such as investigating Fast and Furious, the IRS bird dogging and harassing Americans because of their political beliefs, or the timely conclusion of looking into a former Secretary of State treating classified material like junk mail, is finally addressing the civil rights issue of our time. 

Since the administration has decreed public schools can’t deny anyone’s “right” to use any facility – bathroom, shower.– merely because of biological fact, so as not to risk losing federal funding, physical education class is going to be a lot of fun when hormone-fulminating males realize they’re one meaningless, un-disprovable, non-binding pronouncement away from showering with female counterparts. This is the realm Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is constructing for us – the denial of basic biology. Someone more cynical than I might point out the disconnect between those who have metamorphosed “climate change” into a religious conviction through the deification of science now denying undeniable scientific facts. Facts are as they are. Females of our species have two “X” chromosomes and males have an “X” and a “Y.” This fact is not in dispute. What it means in terms of which bathroom to use is obvious to anyone with a brain to think.

I really don’t care how someone chooses to live their life – if they want to be a productive member of society or a worthless panhandler, then go for it. Just don’t ask me to subsidize or support your choices, and I’ll extend the same courtesy to you. Then again, that is no longer permissible in Obama’s world. 

The problem isn’t transgendered people using either bathroom; they’ve been around a long time and rarely have been noticed (unless they’ve always been holding it). If you’re a man who lives as a woman and uses the women’s bathroom, you’ve probably never been stopped. There’s no one outside public restrooms with an X-ray machine, clipboard and frisking you before you enter, and most people don’t pay attention to others going in and out of bathrooms. That’s not the issue. The issue is the people who do pay attention to who goes in and out of bathrooms.

In a nation the size of America, there are quite a few sick people out there who don’t simply subscribe to the “live and let live” philosophy. In times past, if a pervert gets off on being in the ladies room while women do their business he’d be arrested, right? What the Justice Department is doing is offering each and every one of them a free pass now. Since being transgendered is undefined, all these perverts can simply claim they’re transgender, and suddenly every father of a girl of school age is an extremist or bigot.  In short, the Obama administration is offering cover to any freak or social deviant with a bathroom fetish. And it’s using our tax dollars to enforce it.

There is an upside. If the federal government is going to impose this nebulous standard on schools under the Civil Rights Act, it won’t be able to deny the same rights to prisoners. So if you’re a man facing any sort of federal prison term, declare yourself trans and…well, you can do the math. In fact, why stop there? If the federal government is going to negate the fact of biology when it comes to public restroom usage, it can’t use it anywhere. If gender can be ignored, why can’t other biological facts be ignored? Did not Rachel Dolezal "identify" as being black? Did not Elizabeth Warren "identify" as being Native American? Fact, neither were what they said they were. Rather than being eschewed for their proven mendacities, both came out smelling like a rose.

Perhaps we should all claim to “identify” as whatever will best help us at any given moment. Clog the system. If government is going to demand gender is whatever you want it to be at any given time, lets play ball. Applying for college? Claim every ethnicity and gender, go after every dime of scholarship available to everyone. All you have to do is “identify” as such. Who are they to judge? Thanks to this asinine ruling, we’re all free to ignore what we are and declare ourselves whatever we want to be, whenever it suits our needs. It’s stupid, it’s crazy, but apparently it’s our civil right.
