Carson says, "Trans individuals make people uncomfortable. . ."

GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson suggested creating separate public bathrooms for transgender people in an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos Thursday.

When Ramos asked Carson if transgender men and women should be able to use any public bathroom they choose, Carson responded, "How about we have a transgender bathroom?"

"It is not fair for them to make everybody else uncomfortable," Carson added. "It's one of the things that I don't particularly like about the movement."

That crazy F*CK should speak for himself. . . .

The state of California will classify individuals on how they perceive themselves. For instance, one of my friends is "biologically" male, but her driver's license (correctly) states "female." I haven't asked her how she obtained it or what the state asked her to submit, but she DOES have it, as I have seen it.
