The Mayor of San Fransisco, Ed Lee, is on a big brother power trip, thinking that he has the authority to tell city workers that cannot travel to North Carolina.
The mayoral panties are all twisted up because North Carolina has passed legislation preventing anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay and transgender people thus nullifying a Charlotte ordinance that allowed for transgender bathroom use of the opposite gender.
City workers were banned by the Lee from “non-essential” travel to North Carolina.
First of all, what is, by definition, “non-essential” travel? And does one have to get a permission slip by Lee for “essential” travel? Second, by what authority can a mayor ban travel of a private citizen? Lee is dictator if he believes this is within his purview of power.
Yet, this normalizing of transgender people, represented by approximately 0.2 to 0.3 of the United States population, while forcing 99.7% of the rest of America to their accommodate perceived bathroom needs, is not the proper role of a republic.
The battle lines have been drawn in Washington to do just this with Obamacare forcing both insurance companies, as well as the taxpayer, to pay for the procedures desired by transgenders.
What is politically advantageous for this administration far outweighs what is best for individuals or society as a whole. Thus, with this view point, every health insurer offering plans through state-run Obamacare or Healthcare.gov now must cover more health procedures that transgenders desires.
In the past, several health insurance plans have categorically excluded health care related to transitioning between genders, often on the grounds that such procedures are often cosmetic, not medically necessary, and elective in nature. Now, such categorical bans will be disallowed, and insurers will have to cover many of the procedures. It declares that insurers are prohibited from engaging in discrimination not only on the basis of sex, but also on the basis of gender identity, reported Truth and Action.
The left believes forcing people into submission and into their world view is a proper use of governmental power and Mayor Lee in his proclamation demonstrates this megalomania.

I forbid anyone from traveling to N. Carolina!!!! However, I welcome illegal aliens to my city and when you rape, molest, murder, rob or otherwise break the laws of our nation, I will look the other way!!!
What , he can’t force S. Carolina to be like California. Gosh !
For decades liberals have been trying to convince women that men (particularly white men) are their enemies. Men want to keep us pregnant and barefoot, powerless in the boardroom and the bedroom, and are responsible for every lousy decision we ever made. Men are rapists at heart even if they don’t rape. We shouldn’t love them, we shouldn’t marry them, and we shouldn’t trust them. We need liberal politicians to protect us from our lousy decisions and men. Suddenly we’re being told that when we see a penis and testicles on an individual that “identifies as being female,” we should view that genitalia as female. I like Bruce Jenner, now Cait, but although he has substantial breast implants, beautiful long hair, and great fashion sense, he also has a penis and testicles. He’s a father, so I presume he’s used his equipment for fun and reproduction. Were I to have the misfortune of changing into a bathing suit in the swimming pool locker room and “Cait” came in to change into a swim suit, I wouldn’t be comfortable and I certainly wouldn’t be viewing his penis and testicles as being female genitalia. Sorry transgenders, but that’s the way I roll. What about the rights of women and girls who have been victims of sex attacks, where are their rights? Apparently they don’t have the right to use public accommodations and expect only females in the female facilities. Sadly, women will vote for Hillary and this nonsense will continue. By the way, I also think men should have the right to use public accommodations and not have a woman who thinks she’s a guy (and has female genitalia) joining them. One thing about the transgender laws that can’t be denied, if you happen to be a pervert who loves to spy on women in bathrooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms, etc., you’ll certainly now have the right as long as you claim that you think you’re female. The law will have a hard time prosecuting since you can’t discriminate against someone because of their gender identity. I guess it’s happy perving now courtesy of the government.
Wouldn’t you think the Mayor of San Francisco would have better things to do thsn to be concerned with anything the Governor of North Carolina did or didn’t do! This world just gets weirder and weirder! Why would this old man want a man to have the option of going into a womens bathroom?
Good, keep your Perverts..!! N.C. don’t want them.
Ok so he ban the use of city funds but not a private citizen going there on leave. Get a grip man
Oh look another sick and twisted leftist that think he rules all and controls all. Authoritarian pig
Is there anything that liberals won’t ban? What country has this become?
he does not have the wright or power to do this
Look at the picture. Anybody else recognize that style of mustache? The last time I saw a mustache like that, it was from a guy who thought he could bark orders at his citizenry as well.
