I understand why some people worry about nuts. There will always be assorted nuts among us. And, I think Cruz and Schilling are far from alone in their belief that all transgenders are nuts who represent a threat to society's morality and/or safety.
For me, a mountain is being made of a molehill. Transgenders have been going to the bathroom in public forever without issue or even awareness. Now that there's more visibility around transgender issues, there seems to be more acceptance and tolerance of transgenders in general. But, there also seems to be more outward disdain of transgenders by fearful extremists who resent the greater acceptance and tolerance. That's Nothing new though; the same thing happened when gays started coming out more and society's collective view on gay rights and anti-discrimination began evolving.
