Maryland Citizens for Responsible Government is a conservative group which opposes gender identity protections in the state.

<p>Maryland Citizens for Responsible Government is a conservative group which opposes gender identity protections in the state. The group's president, <strong>Ruth Jacobs,</strong> <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/08/12/dc-bathroom-signs-ignored-by-many-hated-by-some-expensive-and-possibly-illegal/">says stuff like</a>: "“If somebody with an opposite body part is allowed in to a ladies’ restroom—a guy who has a penis, who could put his penis inside my vagina—what am I to do?” The group's <a href="http://www.teachthefacts.org/2009/09/sheesh-talk-about-raining-on-parade.html">recent written materials</a>, too, strike that special blend of horror, humor, and confusion.</p>

<p><strong>Horrific: </strong> In a recent flier, the group refers to Human Rights Campaign staffer <strong>Allyson Robinson</strong>&#8212;a transgender female&#8212;as a "male transsexual." I'm beginning to think that these people just indiscriminately pick a gender, tack on a trans term, and run with it:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/files/2009/09/Picture-491.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6586" title="Picture 49" src="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/files/2009/09/Picture-491.png" alt="Picture 49" width="470" height="122" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong<br />
Funny:</strong> The flier then attempted to point supporters to the group's anti-transgender Web site, <a href="http://notmyshower.com/">notmyshower.com</a>&#8212;but accidentally sent readers to <a href="http://www.notmyshower.net/">notmyshower.<em>net</em></a><em>:</em></p>
<p><a href="htt><br />

<p>Hey, I wonder what notmyshower.net is all about?</p>
<p><!&#8211;more&#8211;><a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/files/2009/09/Picture-52.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6588" title="Picture 52" src="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/files/2009/09/Picture-52.png" alt="Picture 52" width="420" height="314" /></a></p>

Confusing: </strong>As <strong>Jim Kennedy </strong>points out at <a href="http://www.teachthefacts.org/2009/09/sheesh-talk-about-raining-on-parade.html">Teach the Facts</a>, this bill was passed a year ago.<strong> </strong>Live in the now!<strong><br />
