A straight male and the Texas bathroom
by Mary Ann Mueller, VOL:
I live in Texas, and I just returned from a trip a local store. While there, nature called, so I went in to use the Ladies’ Room. There was a woman who was having a medical emergency and her husband was patiently standing outside the door.
I heard him ask the attendant, who was assisting his stricken wife, if he could come in and help since he knew what to do for her. He was told “no” because it was the women’s restroom.
And the thought immediately flashed through my mind that if the husband was a transgendered something(s)he would be welcomed with open arms into the Ladies’ Room, or the Men’s Room for that matter. Or if, were we down the street at the local Target, it would have been a nonissue.
Offering a short silent prayer, I left as the store was closing that particular restroom to all others to deal with the situation. I do not know if an ambulance came or not, nor the outcome of the unfolding medical emergency.
But in today’s crazy sexually-confused world, a husband was initially barred because he is a straight male — he’s not gay and he’s not transgendered. He is a married man who was simply concerned about his wife’s health. Common sense was thrown out the window.
It is not common sense for a man to put on a dress and spike heels to pretend that he is a woman. Regardless of what Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner, Roderick (Levarne) Cox or PFC Bradley (Chelsea) Manning might have to say about it. To say “God made a mistake” when s/he was created and s/he is “trapped in the wrong body” is insane. Nor is it common sense to bar a spouse — regardless of sex — from helping their helpmate in a critical time of need.
The Episcopal Church is helping fuel this insanity as it champions this lunacy. TEC is fully embracing the pop culture instead of pushing against disordered societal norms and the church has been infected by the sexualized culture, rather than standing up for natural law and the clear teaching of Biblical truth.

Harvest – reminder of reality. We are called to live within the creation that God has made, not to re-create reality in our own minds.
