I wasn\u2019t finished talking about that.\u00a0 I was just getting people ready for it.\u00a0 Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, Open Line Friday, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/opinion\/editorials\/article77475147.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charlotte Observer in an editorial.<\/a>\u00a0 Girls and women just need to get over their fear of the male genitalia in their locker rooms.\u00a0 All of this is silly, they say. This is crazy.\u00a0 Women have this inordinate fear of male genitalia and they ought get past it, ought to get over it in bathrooms and locker rooms.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122692\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Transgender-Bathroom-Charlotte-Observer.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>This is the same publication that probably backed up everything Rolling Stone lied about on &#8220;the rape culture&#8221; all over campus in this country. &#8220;What happens when a biological male who identifies as a female uses the women\u2019s restroom?&#8221;\u00a0 Well, for one thing, it\u2019s really weird.\u00a0 Number two, it\u2019s odd, and number three, it\u2019s&#8230; (sigh) &#8220;The question,&#8221; says the Charlotte Observer, &#8220;is at the core of a struggle &#8212; and a suddenly intense debate &#8212; over the rights of transgender individuals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That battle transcends what happens in bathrooms, certainly, but the issue has prompted a wave of unnecessary fears and unnecessary laws, including North Carolina\u2019s HB 2.\u00a0 This week, the Obama [Regime] tried to get in front of the clash, first with a Department of Justice lawsuit over HB 2, then on Friday with a letter to US school districts ordering them to acknowledge and accommodate transgender students. The letter doesn\u2019t carry the weight of law, but it does carry a big stick &#8212; the implied withholding of federal dollars from school districts that don\u2019t abide by the [Regime]\u2019s guidelines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not &#8220;guidelines.&#8221; They are mandates.\u00a0 When school districts are totally dependent on federal money, and that federal money is threatened to be removed if you don\u2019t do what we say with your bathrooms, then what do you think the schools are gonna do?\u00a0 &#8220;That threat is sure to bring more heat to the bathroom debate, but eventually the decree should have the opposite effect. It will bring acceptance, as these measures do, by showing that the answer to what happens in bathrooms is a lot less fearsome than the question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not about what happens in bathrooms, Charlotte Observer, and it\u2019s not about transgenders.\u00a0 That\u2019s why everybody\u2019s so upset.\u00a0 Everybody knows this is just yet another vehicle that extreme liberals are using to undermine and overthrow and transform the founding culture of the United States.\u00a0 That\u2019s what this is.\u00a0 It\u2019s not civil rights.\u00a0 People aren\u2019t going to bat for one-tenth of 1% of the population here from a civil rights standpoint.\u00a0 This is called blowing up centuries of tradition. The same thing with gay marriage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/05\/09\/the_state_of_north_carolina_should_say_it_no_longer_identifies_as_north_carolina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img id=\"eZObject_122695\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/NorthCarolinaBathrooms-C.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/a>That\u2019s all this is about.\u00a0 It\u2019s disguised as being a civil rights issue to grease the skids of passage.\u00a0 It\u2019s disguised as a civil rights issue to intimidate people into silencing their opposition to it.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t about transgenders, it isn\u2019t about bathrooms, and it isn\u2019t about&#8230; Well, it is about marriage, but it\u2019s about blowing it up.\u00a0 Anyway, back to the Charlotte Observer: &#8220;Republicans in North Carolina have made the most of those fears, framing HB 2 as a law that protects the safety and privacy of women and children. Those safety issues are political fiction&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s political fiction is that this has become an issue.\u00a0 What\u2019s political fiction is that all of a sudden a bunch of transgenders are feeling really, really put upon &#8212; and really, really discriminated against &#8212; over bathroom usage.\u00a0 That\u2019s the manufactured fiction.\u00a0 That\u2019s the created drama.\u00a0 That is the narrative, if you will. That\u2019s the soap opera script for the day, for the week, for the month.\u00a0 All people in North Carolina are doing is reacting to it!<\/p>\n<p>Everybody was minding their own business and there wasn\u2019t one bit of a problem until you guys at the Charlotte Observer came along &#8212; and, of course, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Everything was fine until you decided to gum up the works.\u00a0 What do you expect, people just to lay down and accept this stuff?\u00a0 Of course they\u2019re gonna react and they\u2019re gonna act, but we get positioned as somehow these on-the-march, anti-freedom people. We\u2019re minding our own business trying to lead our lives the best we know how, and every day we wake up and find that we\u2019re under assault.<\/p>\n<p>And now it\u2019s bathrooms and we\u2019re told we\u2019re the oddballs and we\u2019re discriminating and we\u2019re this and we\u2019re that?\u00a0 Anyway, the Charlotte Observer. I\u2019ll get to the meat of the&#8230; Uh, get to their primary point here.\u00a0 &#8220;Republicans in North Carolina have made the most of those fears, framing HB 2 as a law that protects the safety and privacy of women and children. Those safety issues are political fiction. Non-transgender men wouldn\u2019t have been allowed in women\u2019s bathrooms under the Charlotte ordinance that HB 2 killed, and the 200 or so cities with similar ordinances have had no incidents involving bathroom predators.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You mean there are bathroom predators?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, we had a story just last week of one.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody knows they\u2019re out there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/05\/18\/my_brother_is_right_about_the_transgender_bathroom_debate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img id=\"eZObject_122690\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/ObamaTransgenderHope-Sex-Change-Obama-B.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/a>Anyway, &#8220;[T]hat leaves the issue of privacy and the oft-stated notion of women and girls sharing bathrooms and locker rooms with someone who has different genitalia. It\u2019s an image that\u2019s uncomfortable even for some who are sympathetic to the transgender cause.&#8221; Here\u2019s the pull quote: &#8220;Yes, the thought of male genitalia in girls\u2019 locker rooms &#8212; and vice versa &#8212; might be distressing to some. But the battle for equality has always been in part about overcoming discomfort &#8212; with blacks sharing facilities, with gays sharing marriage &#8212; then realizing that it was not nearly so awful as some people imagined.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So you young women &#8212; you girls and adult women &#8212; who are being told every day by people like the Charlotte Observer that you are likely to be raped on any American college campus you choose, are now being told, &#8220;Get over your fear of the male genitalia if you happen to spot it in a bathroom.\u00a0 Yes, it might provide some discomfort, but just like African-Americans had to deal with being segregated, you can get over it, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122699\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CollegeRapists.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>So now women and their fear, in the words of Charlotte Observer, of the male genitalia and being advised, just get over it.\u00a0 Has anybody ever told African-Americans, &#8220;Hey, you know what? Slavery? Get over it.&#8221;\u00a0 Anybody ever said that?\u00a0 I don\u2019t believe so.\u00a0 I don\u2019t&#8230; Has anybody said to African-Americans, &#8220;Just get over it?&#8221;\u00a0 Did anybody tell&#8230; Now, did somebody tell white Southerners at some point back in the 1800s after Civil War, &#8220;Just get over it?&#8221;\u00a0 Yes, they did.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, women who use the women\u2019s room are being told to get over it if a guy walks in.\u00a0 &#8220;Yeah, it can be discomforting. Yeah, but so have a lot of other tough things that we\u2019ve had to overcome in America in the past.&#8221; Do you ever ask yourself, folks, why&#8230;? See, we always get put on the defensive, and I refuse to go there.\u00a0 I\u2019m not gonna be on the defensive. Do you ask why in the world 99.9% of the population should have to transform, reform, my friend, moderate to one-tenth of 1% of the population?<\/p>\n<p>Do you ever ask yourself why in the world and who in the world decided to pick up an issue that affects one-tenth of 1% of the population and make it a cause celebre and make it a dominating cultural issue and make it an issue that they use to illustrate how, in their minds, America sucks,\u00a0 America discriminates, America\u2019s unfair, America is prejudice, America is biased? Because one-tenth of 1% of the population of men or women who think they\u2019re the other want to use a bathroom of their choice one day?<\/p>\n<p>You ever ask why we have to stop everything we\u2019re doing and turn this into the equivalent of the Civil Rights Act of 1964?\u00a0 I ask it that way to illustrate that this is about much more than transgenders and bathrooms and all of that.\u00a0 And the fact that the everyday Drive-By Media left and related organizations has gotten behind this every bit as fervently as they did gay marriage should tell you that it\u2019s about much, much more than what the issue is supposedly about.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122702\" class=\"img_right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/gaybathroomSHORT_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to Target.\u00a0 This is incredible.\u00a0 &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/05\/19\/target-earnings-drop-protests-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Retail giant Target is losing sales <\/a>and may be on track for another major stock-drop in the second quarter, analysts say, amid a growing boycott caused by the company\u2019s transgender friendly policies. The company\u2019s second-quarter sales, from April to June, may drop as much as 2 percent compared to the prior year.&#8221; That\u2019s according to Target executives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The earnings prediction comes a month after the left-leaning company announced April 19 that it would allow men claiming to be women to use the women\u2019s bathrooms and changing rooms at its stores. The decision has sparked a boycott petition effort that garnered over 1.2 million signers in only a week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Target executives deny the pro-family consumer boycott is making a significant difference. But, according to TheStreet.com, the business-news website: &#8216;&#8221;We have seen a noticeable slowdown post-Easter,&#8221; Target CFO [chief financial officer] Cathy Smith said on a call with reporters. Target\u2019s CEO Brian Cornell, who was also on the call, blamed the slowdown on unfavorable weather trends in the Northeast and volatile economic trends. Cornell also said the company has not seen a &#8220;material&#8221; impact to its overall business from the protests, but has seen some hit to sales in a &#8220;handful&#8221; of stores. He declined to quantify the extent of the hit.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So between the Obama economy, Amazon, and the fact that Target feels the need to regurgitate their minority political beliefs out loud, instead of just selling what people want, it\u2019s gonna be interesting to see. But this boycott apparently is having a momentous impact on Target.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, I have heard, I can\u2019t remember where I heard it, but I heard a great solution to this bathroom business.\u00a0 It\u2019s a perfect solution, and it will not be adopted. And the fact that it would never be agreed to by the people pushing this issue ought to illustrate exactly what this is about.\u00a0 You know what the solution to it is?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say that we have a real problem.\u00a0 Let\u2019s construct a hypothetical, that there is a genuine, real, everyday-got-this-country-in-a-hell-of-an-argument problem because there are so many transgender people, so many people born as men who think they\u2019re women and so many people born as women who think they\u2019re men, they\u2019re all over the place out there, and it just doesn\u2019t feel right with members of the opposite sex going in the men\u2019s room or the ladies\u2019 room. And so we, as a compassionate society, want to solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Of course none of those circumstances are real.\u00a0 It is not a legitimate, big issue.\u00a0 It\u2019s been totally manufactured.\u00a0 Do you know what I heard?\u00a0 This thing really has its origins in North Carolina, and I heard the main, shall I say, thruster, the organizer or the person that is behind this movement, the bathroom legislation or the bathroom initiative in North Carolina, is a convicted child molester who spent two years in prison.\u00a0 Had you heard that, Snerdley?<\/p>\n<p>Now, apparently the Charlotte Observer knew it.\u00a0 Apparently the Charlotte Observer knew and colluded that the person pushing this whole idea of letting transgender people pick their bathrooms is a convicted child molester who spent two years in prison.\u00a0 He molested young boys while he had a youth pastor type position in a church.\u00a0 And he\u2019s the guy pushing this.\u00a0 And the Charlotte Observer apparently knew and never mentioned it until a bunch of bloggers forced them to, to admit that they knew that\u2019s who was pushing this.<\/p>\n<p>So these catcalls: &#8220;You are just racist, bigoted. All of these fears of imaginary things, things that are not happening, you\u2019re standing in the way of equal rights.&#8221;\u00a0 Well, no, they are happening, is the point.\u00a0 We know that there are pedophiles out there.\u00a0 They\u2019re all over the place.\u00a0 We know that there are child molesters all over the place.\u00a0 Parents worry themselves sick over it.\u00a0 But somehow we are to be assured, &#8220;Oh, no, that won\u2019t happen in the bathroom.\u00a0 What makes you think that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here\u2019s the solution, and it would never be agreed to.\u00a0 But if it\u2019s a real problem, if it were to be, if it actually is, if it\u2019s a real problem, there\u2019s a simple, simple solution to this.\u00a0 And that is a bathroom with one toilet and one sink and a door that locks.\u00a0 Bingo, problem solved.\u00a0 Transgender person can choose that.\u00a0 We call it a unisex bathroom.\u00a0 We just put a sign on it says &#8220;bathroom.&#8221;\u00a0 And whoever goes in there, male or female, can lock the door, and nobody can get in, anybody can use it. (interruption) That won\u2019t work?\u00a0 Well, I know. That\u2019s my point.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve tried it and it doesn\u2019t work because it illustrates that that\u2019s not what this is really all about. You see, my whole point, that\u2019s not what this is really all about.\u00a0 And some of the objections, &#8220;Well, you need more than one toilet.\u00a0 For crying out loud, we\u2019re talking about public places.&#8221;\u00a0 That\u2019s the point.\u00a0 There aren\u2019t that many people we\u2019re really talking about here.\u00a0 It\u2019s one-tenth of 1% of the population, but even so, okay, two rooms, take your pick; but there\u2019s one toilet, and the doors lock.<\/p>\n<p>And then people say, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s not going to stop somebody from grabbing somebody and taking them in the bathroom with them.&#8221;\u00a0 I know, but I\u2019m trying to come up with a compromise.\u00a0 The notion that idea is rejected ought to tell everybody what\u2019s actually going on here, or at least give everybody some indication.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Dagmar in Bladensburg, Ohio.\u00a0 Great to have you on the program.\u00a0 Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Hello, Rush.

Called the &#8216;boyshort,\u2019 Thinx released the line, which is designed to be gender-neutral, in response to negative feedback about the brand\u2019s female-centric tagline:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Underwear for women with periods.'&#8221; \u00a0So trans men were offended that this company manufactured underwear for women on their period and demanded that they, trans men, be included \u2019cause they menstruate, too.\u00a0 So that\u2019s how the boyshort came to be. &#8220;In the campaign, model Sawyer DeVuyst discussed the reality of living with a menstrual period as a trans man, stating that menstruation is a &#8216;safety risk.\u2019 &#8216;You\u2019re in a men\u2019s room and somebody hears you rustling a paper in the stall because you\u2019re changing a tampon &#8212; that outs you,\u2019 he said.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019m reading from the article itself.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s another website out there, folks.\u00a0 This is called Everyday Feminism. &#8220;My Period and Me: A Trans Guy\u2019s Guide to Menstruation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You know, sometime back in the early nineties we got a call from a guy who claimed to be a male lesbian, and we just cracked up. We thought that was the funniest thing, a male lesbian. He started explaining to us what that was.
