[QUOTE="Ceallaigh, post: 77618566, member: 430705"] To me this is like arguing whether or not you should stop at a red light or a stop sign. Is it okay to roll through if there's absolutely no traffic? No. Even if one is in the middle of nowhere and it's going to be several hours before another car goes through that intersection in any direction, one has to come to a complete stop before proceeding. I just watched that video and it was also a white person morphing into a black person and a black person morphing into an Asian person. So if we're going to use that as an example then we have to go along with the idea that people are trans-race as well as trans-sex. And the trans-race idea fits in a lot more with "it doesn't matter if you're black or white". Really I think the song and video is about Michael Jackson's multiple identity issues. He was torn between being black and wanting to be white, torn between being an adult and wanting to be a child, torn between being masculine and effeminate (the latter being him fantasizing about being Diana Ross at times). Ultimately he lived in a convoluted world of fantasy. Like with the one must stop at a red light or stop sign rule, there's always been a men don't go into woman's restrooms and locker rooms rule. I don't remember being specifically taught not to go into the girl's restroom when I was in kindergarten, but I'm pretty sure I knew I wasn't supposed to and I wasn't allowed to. There wasn't a restroom monitor making sure that only girls went into the girl's restroom, the boys just simply knew they were not supposed to or allowed to. Now can a male disguise himself well enough to go into a female restroom or locker room undetected? Sure. But the rule should remain the same. Just because a rule can be bypassed though disguise or trickery, doesn't mean a rule should be discarded. Just because a rule can't be enforced 100% all of the time, doesn't mean the rule should be discarded. Just because someone can roll through a red light or a stop sign undetected, doesn't mean that rule should be tossed out. [/QUOTE]
