Both advocate hatred and prejudice and keep our society from being more civil.

Genetic code is more complex than that, as are the neurological pathways that biologists now state are as major a sex organ as any genitalia. What about people with genetic chimerism, ambiguos genetalia, hermaphroditism? what makes a pratt who cannot even avoid getting kicked out of the education system become deluded enough to think he knows better than generations of medical science and the people who are in posession of the bodies themselves? He will destroy tourism to the state, make it a laughing stock in order to try to pass an unconstitutional law. Bravo sir your mother must be sooo proud to have introduced such a closedminded, arrogant, shortsighted, fool into the world. Please sir never reproduce and if you do please do not even consider raising the child. leave that to a bone fide human being as monsters are not known for their childrearing abilities. ok what the hell? does this cretinous imbecilic buffoon not even know there is a difference between gender and sex.

Just FYI, in case you'd like to investigate the flip side of this story. This is the exception, not the rule.

Bud, you are going to do more harm than good. But hey, it's legal, right? I mean the guy with the full beard and standing up to pee has a women's license because it couldn't be changed to male, so what's the big deal?

Stuff like that will be ok though. I'm sure it won't even make the news.

I transitioned early in my life and I really feel with the way I look the re would be a bigger problem if I used the male bathroom with how I look...it seems to me the people who think the intent to go into the womens bathroom for perverted reasons are the same ones who stomp their foot in the male bathroom stalls to get the attention of the person next to them...This is crazy yet also sad that Mr. Scoott can not be more creative with his hatred...Jennifer M. Barge out and proud trans woman....who has a f on her drivers license Okay- Is there not more important issues in every state and the whole country other than stopping a person born male from wearing a dress to use the restroom?

I am curious as to what is necessary to trigger expulsion from the U of Michigan law school?

After all, what he's saying in essence is that he plans not to uphold whatever oath he would take upon becoming Michigan SOS, given that – presumably – the oath requires upholding the law.

While he might be able to unilaterally impede the lives of pre-ops, if he unilaterally decides not to recognize the reality of the transitions of pos-ops, he would be – by administrative fiat – declaring that the Michigan transsexual birth certificate statute is a law that he doesn't have to abide by.

Can someone in Michigan investigate the possibility of derailing this guy's path not only to the SOS post but also to even becoming a lawyer?
