ACLU leader quits after daughters encounter men in the women’s restroom

Via Powerline

Maya Dillard Smith, interim director of the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, has resigned over the ACLU’s position on who can use which public restrooms. The resignation occurred after her two daughters were traumatized by encountering men in the women’s restroom. Dillard Smith explained:

I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women’s restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults, over six feet [tall] with deep voices, entered. My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer.

Dillard Smith complained that the ACLU has become “a special interest organization that promotes not all, but certain progressive rights” and that the “hierarchy of rights” the ACLU chooses to defend or ignore is “based on who is funding the organization’s lobbying activities.” Further expressing her disillusionment, Dillard Smith stated:

I understood it to be the ACLU’s goal to delicately balance competing rights to ensure that any infringements are narrowly tailored, that they do not create a hierarchy of rights, and that we are mindful of unintended consequences. I believe there are solutions that can provide accommodations for transgender people and balance the need to ensure women and girls are safe from those who might have malicious intent.

Unfortunately, as she has learned, Dillard Smith’s view of the ACLU bears little relation to reality. The ACLU’s goal — like that of the LGBT movement — is to shove a radical agenda down the throats of the American people, not to balance rights and find reasonable accommodations.

A transgender activist — a biological male who goes by the name Cheryl Courtney-Evans — responded to Dillard Smith’s resignation by calling her “lazy,” “ill-educated,” and a “b–ch” who needs to sit down and “STFU.” No one who has seen LGBT activists in action will be surprised by this charming response.

Actually, Dillard Smith is well educated. She earned a degree in economics from Berkeley and a master’s degree at Harvard.

She’s also a liberal Democrat. And until she resigned, she was one of the youngest ACLU directors in the nation and one of only three African-Americans employed by the ACLU in that role.

These days, one hears intelligent people assert that the “culture war” is over. It isn’t, and won’t be soon, because the left will keep looking for new cultural battlegrounds. Today, public restrooms; tomorrow, the world.

Just more Bernais fog generated to keep y’all from focusing on the criminals who are running for president. Oh no Bluto – there are liberal men in the little girls bathroom. Rally round our chillen. That is much more important than 3500 legal actions against Drumpf or outright espionage by Hitlery.

She was such a good, obedient liberal (and the cherry on top – she is black), Very likely that she supported the trannies in the bathroom – until it happened to her family. Once in a while you get Justice.

I advise high schoolers to go into plumbing! In addition to the 2 for non-deviates, we will need potties for gay men, lesbans, male->female tranny, female to male tranny, priests and rabbis, Hillary Clinton, male molesters of boys, male molesters of girls, female molesters of boys……….

Ah! I’m sorry for the girl kids, but it’s a prime, beautiful example of Political Correctness leaping out of the grass and biting you on the ass! It couldn’t have happened to a better person – but I would rather have seen her stay and take a stand on what the rules should be instead of this transgender garbage. Make that this gay, lesbo, transgender problem.

I fell like a transgender armadillo today. Which house should I burrow under to pee?

Liberals, leftists, progressives… in their removal from reality, they don’t understand that actions and policies have consequences. They think that their good intentions are sufficient.

This woman has now seen firsthand what happens when liberal ideology is put in practice. I’m glad her little daughters were ultimately unharmed, but as a woman herself, what was she thinking by agreeing with men in women’s restrooms?

Reality slaps a bitch…who probably shoved many a lawsuit up the asses of those who disagreed with the local chapters views .

Can’t wait to read about the 6 foot tranny in the bathroom with a bunch of little girls ( eyeing them with ill intent ) who gets pistol whipped by a pissed off dad .

Oh, what a target rich environment we have here!

1) Here is an example of the liberal who turns into a conservative after having been mugged
2) Rest rooms are all about plumbing. Those with male plumbing go through door #1, and those with female plumbing go through door #2. Problem solved!
3) I am shocked, SHOCKED to hear that the ACLU is accused of being for sale to the highest bidder!
4) Why is it the people we need to STFU the most are constantly saying that very same thing to anyone who doesn’t toe their line?
5) A modest proposal — Let’s pass a law to require people who self-identify as transgender to wear adult diapers whenever they go out in public!

Reminds me of how quickly the anti-gun liberals changed their attitude during the Rodney King Riots in LA

This is from Charlton Heston about the lefty Hollywood anti_gun set:

“During the Los Angeles riots in 1992, a good many of these folk suffered a change of heart. As smoke from burning buildings smudged the skyline and the TV news showed looters smashing windows, laughing as they carted off boom boxes and booze, I got a few phone calls from firmly anti-gun friends in clear conflict. ‘Umm, Chuck, you have quite a few . . . ah, guns, don’t you?’

‘Indeed.’

‘Could you lend me one for a day or so? I tried to buy one, but they have this waiting period . . .’

‘Yeah, I know. I remember you voted for that. Do you know how to use a shotgun?’

‘No, I thought maybe you could teach me. This is getting a little scary.’

‘I noticed. I could teach you, but not in an hour. You might shoot yourself instead of the bad guys. The Marines are coming up from Pendleton; that’ll end it. When it does, go buy yourself a good shotgun and take some lessons.’”

She was old enough to have kids and only now recognizes the true evil of the ACLU? Better late than never I guess.

On Point, Thanks for that link. Here is another regarding the article titled “Girls Must Overcome Discomfort of Seeing Male Genitals in Locker Rooms”….It makes sense…Obama makes a big stink about transgendered whackos and which restrooms they are allowed to use in an effort to legitimize and legalize Islamic pedophilia while he brings thousands of Muslims into the country. Why else would one attempt to normalize the sexual abuse of children? Because it is a basic tenet of Islam – a tenet that is taboo in our society so Obama believes that we need to change our society to adapt to Islam, Sharia and their sick, perverted, savage customs. Yeah, right. Tell me again how committed Obama is to his “Christian faith.” Bullshit.

The sad part is this will become a part of law as they have done many times in the past. There are 11 states filing a lawsuit against the govt but that means 39 are not. By the time there is any ruling on this it will be shoved down the throat of most schools to make sure all young people know they are not bigots.
