Paul Scott Targets Transgendered People In Race For Secretary Of State

[Guest Erika]

State Rep. Paul Scott, (R-Grand Blanc), announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination for Secretary of State just five days ago, but he’s already caused a shock wave.

Scott, who just completed the first year of his first two-year term in the state House, is rankling feathers with a promise he made in his Jan. 15 announcement letter, which listed four top policy priorities, including:

· I will make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver’s license in any circumstance

I cannot believe anyone would vote for this person.

Well I just wonder if this idiot has thought this through.

What would happen to a transsexual that has had SRS and gets into trouble with the law. What jail/prison would this person go to, I would suspect that a transwoman would go to the mens prison. Now that would be funny having womens bras and panties in the mens prison laundry. But seriously it wouldn't work, they would have to build new prisons/jails for transpeople across the country. I think we all know what would happen if they placed a trans person in with their birth gender, it wouldn't be pretty and there would be law suites flying all over.

I say get rid of this idiot before he does any real damage.

Just what I need. I'm already a minimum wage drone. I can't get medicaid to even start seeing a therapist for gender identity issues, anxiety, depression, and everything else that comes with this because I'm single and have no kids (oh and apparently felons can get it too, just not non-felons). Last I heard we had a 14% unemployment rate. I'm struggling to keep food on the table.... and now I have to worry about some whack job spouting hatred trying to pass laws that will make me suffer that much more. At the very least you will have other nut jobs out there rallying behind him and keep me looking over my shoulder if I ever try to go out in public afraid they will beat me to death for being born different.

I'm going back into my own little world, at least the rainbows and unicorns don't hate me for existing.

Just great!

The economy of Michigan is in shambles, the unemployment rate is an embarrassment, Detroit looks like a war zone, companies that might offer a job are moving out, as are the citizens--at an alarming rate. A recent tax auction saw a sizable amount of property go without a single bid?

And this guy seems to think changing gender on a driver's license is one of his top 4 priorities? Top 4?????

Well, that certainly seems like something the average citizen of the state has been quite concerned about lately...

I'm pretty sure his law would require an ID check at every public bathroom which sounds like it would cost money, and possibly make it illegal to use them without knowing how to drive.

Maybe we should all write public letters of sympathy for him to local newspapers, suggesting that he's obviously in denial about his own "issues"
