"...the first man who goes in the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery"
Because some of you already know and are contacting me about it, let me make it official and let you all know that I have been terminated from teaching at Hampden-Sydney College after nine years there. Hampden Sydney is the 10th oldest college in America and is one of the two Men's colleges left in #America. Let me begin by saying that it is a fine school with some very good young men who give me hope for the future. There are also a few very good faculty members who I consider to be good friends and true patriots. They stood with me through this whole situation as the school made the decision to terminate me and I appreciate everything that these friends at the school did to try and help.
The bottom line is that I oppose these so called "#Bathroom" bills that let men go into women's locker rooms, showers, and toilets and I have been very public about it. When I said in Orlando that "...the first man who goes in the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery", the LGBT community once again came after me, claiming that I was calling for violence against #transgender people.
Well, that is simply not the case and I have never called for violence against anyone. I was referring to perverts who will use these policies to get into locker rooms with girls and women, and I object to that. My statement was meant to be humor and not a call for violence, which everyone in my audience understood as humor.
Nonetheless, I gave the LGBT community just what they needed to pressure the college leadership to terminate me and they did.
My personal view is that PC speech is smothering #freespeech, a #constitutional right in America. Too many years in the #Army talking to soldiers still impedes my ability and willingness to say things that are not permissible under the PC rules and it has cost me a job. But I have not and will not change my position on men in women's showers and locker rooms.
I hope that moms and dads across America will stand up to this assault on women and girls. These bills are the epitome of disrespect and disregard for women and girls. There are already cases of men doing exactly what I feared would happen, from videoing a ten-year old girl in a gas station to choking a thirteen-year old girl and trying to abduct her. There are several other attacks in women's facilities that have recently been reported.
Folks, this is immoral and dangerous to allow predators to enter any place where a woman has the right to expect privacy and security. I hope that all who read this will take a stand to protect our wives, mothers, and daughters/granddaughters. This is not about what happened to me at the college. I am done there and the school will not miss me. It is a good school but it is changing like all colleges. Focus rather on the real issue of stopping the insanity that endangers the women and girls that we care about in our lives.
Take a stand with me and sign the petition below to push back at President #Obama and his executive overreach with the Department of Justice and Department of Education. Push back against these bathroom laws, and stand up if not for a moral reason, but for the safety of the women and young girls who would be put at risk.

Sir, I understand your position but it seems short view and not long view.
These bills don't do anything at all about perverts going into bathrooms; perverts already go into bathrooms and hurt people. The bills don't touch that.
The bills only allow civilians to justify violence against a minority –using the exact same words, even.
Some of your audience may have understood what you said as a joke. But some of your audience heard what you said and felt emboldened in their own desire to commit actual, true violence. And they can always hide their desire to commit actual violence by calling it a joke.
It's like trigger discipline. Enough stupid people looked down the barrel without putting the safety on that now you get busted for having your finger in the trigger guard even with the safety on.
Enough people mean this sort of thing that it doesn't have the context to be assumed a joke anymore.

You know . I do not agree with the bathrooms stuff. But you know President Obama is a wise man. The whole time that man has been in office . The R always cut something out. Every time he tried to make things right . Once again the R knock things out in the ballpark. Even with the Obama care. it was a white man that came up with the idea. But because he is a black man they got mad. Let just be real . So now everyone mad because of what he has done. No, I do not agree with it. But guess what he is letting the R know . You are not going to push me around anymore. And I do not blame him. When the next President get in office they can change it . For the first time, I met a transgender and I would have never known if my daughter would not have told me . If everyone would let things cool down and let the preachers do their job this mess can soon be over. When President got in office . he said my job is to run this country and the preachers job is to teach the people. But now everyone wants to blame the government . it is not their job. I feel that this is the raft of God. Now everyone can call me crazy and that is ok. But I know what I feel . God is in control of this. Because the bible clearly says we are to pray for our leaders and government . Not come on social media and talk trash. So now we have created a monster and do not know how to control it. YES, WE ALL DID IT. Let just be real about it.

Good sir, I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you were making a joke. I am trans, and these things do hurt us and incite others to attack us, especially coming from someone prominent. Please (for your sake and mine), don't use a threat as a joke. And thanks for your service

Your argument is utterly ridiculous. You are inventing problems in your head that barely exist. Things seem to be going fine in the other 18 states and dozens of cities where trans* people are allowed to use the restroom they please. As always, anything inappropriate happening in a restroom (harassment, filming, etc) is already illegal and punishable by law - always has been. Politifact also thoroughly debunked your hyperbolic claim. Stop being intellectually dishonest.

1. They didn't fire you
2. Threats are not a joke, ever
3. Referencing rapist and these bathroom bills in the same breath is basically accusing all transexuals as rapists
4. Transgenders are protected by our constitution, and your right to discriminate is not free speech
5. Companies, including schools, are eligible to fire you regardless of your free speech, even though they didn't
6. You accuse the LGBT community of getting you fired
7. Bathroom bills are becoming law and no one cares what you're opinion is about that
8. You apparently don't think you did anything wrong
How is your pining for attention going?

As a Republican, I understand the constant harassment and negative comments being directed at you for standing up for what you believe in. I commend you for having the courage and strength to stand for wholesome family values and common sense. Men do not belong in women's restrooms, period. I went to my local target two weeks ago and there was a line of eight men waiting to use the ladies room. As with everyone who has ever felt discriminated against, the LGBT community wants to go from prejudicial treatment to preferential treatment, they should be treated like a human being, not like they deserve to bend the modern liberal movement to their needs. Thank you sir for being a rock and God bless you.

"PC speech" doesn't smother freedom of speech.
The First Amendment prohibits the government from judicial retaliation against individuals for what they say. It was rooted in indignation that people shouldn't have the right to speak out against government corruption and usurpation of powers to which the government is not entitled. The First Amendment guarantees no protection from any other consequences incurred by what an individual says.
I'm sorry your feelings are hurt that a collective distaste for ignorant rhetoric is cramping your style though.

So try not being a moron? I don't recall asking any of you big, strong, penis envying men to "protect" me and my daughter from other women coming into OUR bathroom. I'm not worried about my kid seeing a penis in the ladies' room, mostly because I don't recall ever seeing ANYONE else's genitals in the bathroom. Probably because I'm polite and don't try to see them, but also because women aren't strutting buck naked into the restroom and showing their bits off to everyone. Anyone that DID do that would be promptly kicked in their bits, regardless of if said bits were innies or outies. I don't recall ever being assaulted by a trans woman in the bathroom. I don't recall you idiot men doing ANYTHING about the fact that most rapes and assaults occur at the hands of men we KNOW, relatives, friends, employers, teachers, neighbors, priests, and just btw, they aren't playing dress up to do it, and they actually aren't doing it all that often in the public facilities you big bags of doosh are so worried about. I don't recall any bills being put forth that would jail rapists and pedophiles for life, which actually WOULD go a long way towards protecting us. I keep asking, what is your problem with penis? Never get an answer...You all yammer on about how you don't want men in the bathroom with your women (as if you smucking own us? bugger off with that). Ignoring the stupidity of calling trans women "men", which shows how little you know about the subject ( or, rather, how much you are willing to deny that there IS a difference between a guy wearing a dress and an actual trans woman just to push your bigoted narrative), why do we not hear from you macho, testosterone laden jackholes how you don't want "women" in the john with your little boys? Please, this isn't, and never as, about "protecting" anyone, or you would be having fits over vaginas in the men's room, and there is a decided lack of a hue and cry to keep "women" away from your husbands and sons. Tell me, in light of 2 smucking decades worth of various states having trans inclusive bathroom laws, and NONE of those states EVER having an incident of "men trying to take advantage of the law!", why, NOW, is it suddenly an issue? What is the obsession with genitals? Who has what kind, who's doing what with them, what goes in them, what comes out of them, can't you ppl just stay out of our doctors' offices, our bedrooms, our bathrooms, our pants? If there's any perverts in the debate, it's you ppl. Get your mind out of the gutter, all YOU ever think about in relation to certain body parts is sex, the rest of us just want to crap in peace.

I agree with Madison, and I would like to add: Where are the men who are standing up for victims of rape who never see justice, or pay inequality between genders, or predators being in the same bathroom as little boys???? All of a sudden everyone is worried about something that makes it ok for them to discriminate. Women and children are in potential danger no matter where we go, we have to prepare ourselves for that without discriminating against the rights of others. And, newsflash: we have been sharing bathrooms with transgendered individuals all this time, they are no threat. And don't even start with the "but sickos will use this as an excuse to prey on women and little girls now", because those same "sickos" are no more or less likely to enter any bathroom just because it is or isn't illegal. Predators are going to prey no matter what. We need address that instead of disguising it as a transgender/

So why don't the bathroom bills address sexual predators? There is, for example, nothing at all to protect young men in the men's room. The bills don't mention sexual predators at all.

I think this is aphony fight to rouse the ignorant against the LGBT community in an election year to the beneift of the rabblerousers. I also am a bit suspicious of men who are so outspoken in defense of their daughters. These seem to be the same men who out of some fear of their own sexuality are overcompensatin

I read what your students had to say about you on the colleges page. They love you. Many disagree with some of your opinions but they love you nonetheless. They respect you. They brag about the morals, life lessons and values they found in themselves after attending your classes. I disagree with who you think is attacking women and children in the bathrooms and showers. Men, predators, sex offenders and pedophiles are attacking women and children in bathrooms, not transgender individuals. But I respect your right to your opinion and you should not have been treated this way over an opinion. The students should already have a petition in place.

The lesson here for Militant Christians is that, while your bigotry may go over well privately at the gun range and in church, Americans won't tolerate it in public.
Follow the examples of more successful religious zealots - cut your beard, wear modern clothing, and be properly ashamed to voice your radical Christian extremism in public.

If you care, TRULY care about the safety of girls and women, THOSE are the issues that I'm scared of in regards to my little girl. I know the "sex talk" for her will not just be about body parts and hormones, but about watching her drink, never going anywhere solo, how to defend herself, what to do after a sexual assault. THAT is what keeps me up at night. Not the fear of some scared to death transgender person who probably has already been through enough hate. No. I'm scared of her possibly boyfriends, classmates, coaches and teachers. I'm scared of every guy who thinks its funny to make sexist jokes, who thinks he's paying compliments when he checks someone out, who thinks sex with him is a privilege and not something to bother getting consent for. So, you care so much for women and girls? What are you teaching those young men? Are you instilling in them the idea that anything short of "yes" is no? Are you teaching them how to look out for a female friend who might get roofied? Are you teaching them to not objectify women and to shut down misogynistic talk when and where they see it? Because if you aren't, worry about THAT and leave bathrooms alone.
