To the Editor:

I  cannot  believe  this  is  the  small-town,  God-fearing,  hometown,  traditional-values  newspaper  I  have revered  all  these  years.

Folks, I  am  talking  about  people  not  of  your  sex  coming  in  your  bathroom  like  they  own  the  place! To  use  the  same  bathroom  of  your  wife,  your  daughter,  your  granddaughter! I  am  being  ridiculed  because  I  have  a  problem  with that?

I  have  legitimate a  genuine  concern  for  the  prospect  of  ever  having  to  share  my  bathroom  with  a  transgender,  or  someone  “feeling  like  a  female”  on  any  given  day.  As  do  most  Americans — most  Americans  cannot  deal  with  the  direction this  country  is  going  and thank God for the election  of our new president, Donald J. Trump,  who  will overturn  this  hideous  ruling  if  he  has  not  already.

My  genuine  concern  for  my  safety  and  privacy  in  my  bathroom gets  met  with  mockery  and  disdain. Wow.  They  must  have  dug  deep  for  that  one.   Clearly  the  liberals  are  no  longer  tolerant of  anyone’s  concerns  unless  it’s  their  own  My, how  liberals  have  changed!

Editor’s note: Jacqueline Hallock, a longtime Hilltown resident, first wrote us a letter, “This transgender crap is too, too much,” published on March 9, in response to our March 2 editorial, “We stand as one with transgender students.” On March 16, we published three letters in response: “There is no need for the fear and paranoia,” “Bathroom conundrum,” and “‘Meet anger with sympathy.’”
