NC's House Bill 2



Is North Carolina being horribly unfair to transgenders?

The facts behind North Carolina's House Bill 2:

Percentage of population that is transgender: 0.3%
Population of North Carolina: 9,943,117
Number of sex offenders in North Carolina: 65,414
Current rate of rape victimization in the US: 0.04%

Let's do the math then shall we? Number of transgender people in North Carolina (based on 0.3% of total population): 29,830. Number of registered sex offenders in North Carolina: 65,414. Percentage of  the population in North Carolina that are registered sex offenders (registered sex offenders divided into total population): 0.7%. There are over twice the number of registered sex offenders!

So, in light of this information would you be concerned for your daughter, niece, mother, wife, sister, or other female relative? Look at the math, I'd say we should be!

I'm Offended!

There is a lie that is being perpetuated within our society today that people should never be offended. But it's even more than that, not only should they never be offended anything that offends should be banned!


Now, last I heard this country had something unique in it's Declaration of Independence. We have the Freedom of Speech. This means that we have the freedom to express our ideas and thoughts, no matter what they are. Quite literally this means that each of us freely gives others the right to offend us.

Why Trump?

One thing that we keep hearing on the news right now is all the horrible things that people have to say about Donald Trump. With the way the media, all the media, is portraying him you would think that the world would absolutely end if he was elected as President. All sides of the political spectrum seem to have bad things to say about Trump. With all that the political spectrum has to say about how horrible Trump is you would think that he's not even in the running, right? However, as of right now he's not only in the running he's still the front runner. So, with all the bad publicity he has been getting how is Trump still in the game? Why do people want to vote for Trump?

The answer to those questions goes a little deeper than the media wishes you to believe. They want you to believe that those who vote for Trump simply have bought into the hype, that we're along for the ride. They want you to believe that we did so without thinking. Well, from what I have gathered from what I have seen and from what others have said here are the main points that people like about Trump.
