“Gretchen Flores remembers how, as a 10-year-old girl, her male swim coach talked her into letting him ‘help’ massage the cramps out of her legs in the locker room. His assistance turned into sexual abuse, and a secret that burned a hole in her memory. “As far as I know, he was never arrested,” Flores says.
The report continued, explaining Emory University psychiatrist Dr. Gene Abel found that the average male pedophile who abused girls “had victimized 52 girls over the course of his lifetime. Another study discovered that pedophiles harm 12 victims before being caught.”
The Daily Signal reported that sexual assault survivors have little concern over the motives for a male in a women’s room, whether he identifies as transgender or not.”The presence of a male of any variety, whether he’s somebody who identifies as a trans or not, whether he has deviant motives or not, that’s irrelevant to the reality that for survivors of sexual trauma to just turn around and to be exposed to that is an instant trigger,” said Kaeley Triller, a sexual trauma survivor.
Earlier this year in Washington state, a man was reported to have disrobed in a women’s locker room while little girls were present.
“As long as the person says, ‘I identify as a woman,’ and they’re not doing something criminal like actually assaulting somebody, this rule gives them the legal right to be present,” Joseph Backholm of the Family Policy Institute of Washington explained at the time.
Obama has escalated the issue to the point it’s one of the highest profiles in the nation right now, with not only the mandate to public schools, but lawsuits against North Carolina and other points where lawmakers have adopted statutes that protect women and children in restrooms and locker rooms.
“Obviously, they’re trying to bring it in and make it the mainstream,” Limbaugh said. “This is bizarre. Don’t tell me, for example, that somebody like Trump is not presidential when this kind of stuff is going on. Obama is presidential as defined by this kind of stuff? Ordering open bathrooms in schools and demanding that a new bathroom is a little bit different than what’s going on in the states of North Carolina, for example. They are actually – in the schools – demanding that the districts build a third bathroom: One for boys, one for girls, and the other for whatever you think you are today, I guess.”
