Let's just have three bathrooms. Men, women, and gender neutral.
This is an argument with lots of grey area. Transgender people should be able to realize the way the law is written invites pedophiles and sexual predators into either restroom. All they need do is claim they identify as whichever sex. It creates a potentially harmful environment. I understand their desire for equality, but not at the cost of public safety. So create another rest room space just for transgenders. Divide it up between those who identify as male on one side and female on the other. They have their own bathroom, so they have nothing to complain about. And yes, I understand that it will create added costs for companies to do this, but it's a better solution than putting others at risk.
The nature of humanity is to find something to ***** about. The problem is deciding what's legitimate and what's not, then trying to find a solution. I can understand a transgender/gender neutral/however they like to be referred as feeling uncomfortable in a bathroom of a sex they do not identify with. Seems like a legitimate gripe to me. People can argue about choices, but something inside them definitely makes them feel they were born wrong and need to fix it, especially those who go under the knife. No man gets his genitals cut off on a whim. Something internal has to be driving them. But since it can't be seen, it's easier for other people to dismiss its existence. They can't understand it, so they make up their own labels for it. I suffer from bipolar disorder. One thing it has taught me, just because you physically can't see something doesn't make it any less real.
So you are saying they feel uncomfortable using a bathroom with a sex they don't identify with? Hmm so what if a woman or teenage girl feels uncomfortable using a bathroom with the opposite sex? This seems like a legitimate gripe to me.
What if a white teenage boy feels uncomfortable attending class with a black student? This seems like a legitimate gripe to me. Sincerely - George Wallace
You are kidding right? You equate someone being black to someone with a d?ck wanting to use a locker room with females?
Surely to God you are not that ignorant? Well you are a liberal so I guess you are.
Tell me how someone with a di$k wanting to use a locker room with females is the same as someone who was born black and faced segregation in 1950?
So I guess a female who doesn't want someone with a di?k in her locker room is a bigot? A racist?
No, I am comparing racial segregation to gender segregation.
No need for ad hominem.
I never claimed it is the same.
Well, you guessed wrong
Gender segregation? So a female wanting her privacy or "safe place" in a locker room is gender segregation?
Yes you claimed it to be the same and I paraphrase a white kid not wanting to go to the same school as a black kid. That sounds the same.
I have an idea if a person with a d?ck doesn't want to use a men's bathroom or locker room maybe they should use the bathroom before they leave their home
If a person seeks privacy, then why is he using a COMMUNAL room? The fact that the room is COMMUNAL means no privacy.
And "safe space"? Safe from what...men? That's male bashing because you casting negative aspersions on other people simply because they are men.
Yeah you paraphrased and use the word "same". Yet my analogy never used the word same...rather it compared to issues that are similar.
If a person wants privacy maybe that person shouldn't use a *COMMUNAL* room.
A communal room? Is that what a male and female bathroom is called or is it a room that allows people with a d&ck who think they are female to use a female bathroom or locker room without the woman's consent?
So you think if a female doesn't want someone with a di?k in their bathroom or locker room they shouldn't use the facilities that say female?
The current gender-segregated bathrooms are COMMUNAL...which means there is no expectation of privacy in them. So to argue that there is an expectation of privacy against trannys does not make sense.
I think if females/males/trannys want privacy, they should undress inside a private dressing room...not out in the open in full view of other people.
