This week, Michelle Duggars son Josh was revealed to have fondled at least five children when he was a teenager. But Daily Mail Reports, back in 2012, years after her own sons actions were made known to her, Mama Duggar felt it necessary to speak out against a proposed ordinance by the Fayetteville City Council that would allow transgender people to use the restroom of their gender identity. The main reason that she cited in her opposition? Fear that transgendered men would victimize women and girls.
Hello, this is Michelle Duggar.
Im calling to inform you of some shocking news that would affect the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children.
The Fayetteville City Council is voting on an ordinance this Tuesday night that would allow men yes I said men to use womens and girls restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only.
I dont believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls.
I doubt that Fayetteville parents would stand for a law that would endanger their daughters or allow them to be traumatized by a man joining them in their private space.
We should never place the preference of an adult over the safety and innocence of a child.
Parents, who do you want undressing next to your daughter at the public swimming pools private changing area?
I still believe that we are a society that puts women and children first.
Women, young ladies and little girls deserve to use the restroom or any other facility in peace and safety. Will you speak up for protecting women and children?

(7,290 posts)predators with past convictions posing as transgender in order to use female restrooms, not that transgender people are all predators with past convictions.

(9,457 posts)harm women/children. I hope one day we'll all be much more educated about the Transgendered community so that we can spot a "fake". A Transgendered person isn't just a man in women's clothes, but I don't understand much about the process. I can't believe I'm actually typing this.....Maybe I'll watch the Kardashians & Bruce Jenner on TV to learn more about it.

(27,985 posts)In a May 2013 blog post, the Duggars described abortion as An American Holocaust, and used the Holocaust Museum as a segue to discussing their views on abortion:
A couple of weeks after we went to the Holocaust Museum It dawned on us that there is a holocaust taking place right here in America! More than 56 million lives have been destroyed in our country! That is over 4000 babies being killed and 4000 women being wounded each day!
Parents Jim and Michelle Duggar have also frequently referred to abortion as a baby holocaust.

I would love to give her a piece of my mind in person.

(9,527 posts)she would know better. But I guess her bigotry, hatred and/or stupidity overwhelmed her knowledge that her own kid is a sexual predator.
Instead she tries to shuffle fear off onto people who are transgendered because they are "scary" since she doesn't understand them.
This family from what little I know of them, seems to be utterly worthless human beings.

(30,058 posts)With so many off the wall remarks made about LGBT and not correct but to continue the trend is not good. I sure hope there is some reality for this family to get on top of their problem, maybe the younger kids will not experience the same.

(904 posts)Michelle has no mind of her own and is thoroughly dominated by her husband, I'm sure he wrote every word of what she was to say in the robocall.

(904 posts)and I doubt survival skills or being self reliant is on the list. The cult they belong to teaches girls to be subservient to men, they make all the decisions and you obey. The woman's job is to breed, take care of the kids and do what her husband tells her. It's a sick, sick culture and I feel so sorry for the Duggar girls.

(904 posts)is obviously not one of their religious tenets. I suppose if something happens to her husband, the sons take over...that is if they're not all in jail for molesting little girls.

(135,425 posts)I mean, really, come on kids, friends and neighbors, let's call it like it is...
She knew her pervy kid MO-LES-TED--not "fondled" -- several young girls. SHE KNEW. And she covered it up. She ENABLED his behavior and did not call him to account for it. The victims--and that is what they were--VICTIMS--got no justice, no counseling, no resolution. They were left with a sense that THEY had done something wrong.
She is as much a CRIMINAL as her molesting son. And her husband? Cut from the same criminal cloth.
