    There are about 318 million people in the U.S. That means transgender people are about 0.22% of the population. I don't think this should be a serious issue, and certainly shouldn't cause us to have to revamp every public bathroom in the U.S.

    So your message to women, and men, is to just buck it up, don't worry about who is sharing the shower room, or dressing room, or hogging the mirror?

    If those number are correct, 700,000, and we don't know how many require public facilities each day, but if we assume each one does so just once each day this is 700,000 events every single day! If it's twice per day we're talking about 1.4 million events every day. Seems to me 1.4 million events is significant.

    I actually have no problem with unisex restrooms as long as the crappers are enclosed and they're moving about a million cubic feet per second through ventilation fans...

    My point is that 0.22% of the population can adapt. There is no need for the 99.78% of us to have to change for them.

    I agree with you that the bathroom isn't an issue--just have stalls for all. The issue is the shower/dressing rooms.

    My high school had 3600 students. How many individual bathrooms would be needed for 3,600 students? And who is paying for them?

    Do you have children? are they daughters? Do you prance around the house naked in front of your daughters? Even if you don't have children you would agree that would be wrong for any father to do
    So why in the freaken hell would you agree to allow a perfect stranger do the same exposing him self to young girls?

    I guess Obama must have decided he accomplished everything he wanted to do over his 8 years in office so he figured let's make this a transgender bathroom issue a big public spectacle! How did transgender people decide which bathroom to use since the beginning of time? Apparently it wasn't a huge issue for them or anyone else. This issue needs to go back to the state level...it is NOT a federal matter! As far as schools go, if a transgender student feels uncomfortable, they should bring it up with the school district and the district should address it.

    As I said...

    The situation your describe is ALREADY ILLEGAL.

    If it is ALREADY ILLEGAL why don't we just enforce the existing laws. No, there's something else in play.

    When you eliminate the impossible...

    We already have laws
    This started right after Gay marriage was made legal by the SCOTUS
    Male insecurity with their masculinity is a known and common condition

    It all holds together.

    As noted Mel. A proper name is not an insult. My name, for instance, on my BC has a common female spelling. When I play golf and leave a putt way short my partners will say "does your husband play Nancy?" I get lots of free ladies stuff in the mail and even got invited to a couple of sororities back in college. Don't bother my manhood in the least.

    But, riddle me this...

    Why do you and yours use words like "liberal" as an insult? Why do you use things like SJW, an "snowflake" if not as an insult.

    And if you get to insult then why are you offended at the response?

    Calling a presumably male poster a female name is an insult. It is different from calling a female poster a random female name. You can call yourself any name you like though and nobody would object.

    When I or people like me call you a liberal, it is not meant as an insult. If you feel it is, and now that we know, then we can stop calling you such a name. But if we give you the courtesy of not calling you a liberal, would you also return the favor and stop calling male posters female names?

    It is a response. If the stimuli is removed the response is as well.

    Gender Discrimination simply doesn't fit here. The Males are treated as Males, Females treated as Females.....ummm you aren't trying to say that treating a Male like a Male, (and not a Female), IS the discrimination are you?


    Refusing to validate a false belief of gender is not in any way Gender Discrimination. No one has any Constitutional right to have the population validate their delusions.

    The only place I go to that has showers and locker room changing areas is the gym. Everywhere else - pubs, clubs, restaurants, shops - don't. Many shops have unisex changing rooms already

    Again, complete dishonesty. The kids were safe. There were no issues. THe sole issue was bigoted people were uncomfortable. THey are holier than thou and they can't mind their business. All a transgender person wants to do is go to the bathroom and get out, knowing they will be stared at, mocked, ridiculed, maybe even attacked violently. What do you think would happen if a transgender females goes into a mens room? probably get their ass kicked.

    Sorry, you guys can lie all you want, that's what you have to do because facts aren't on your side. Transgenders are so extremely rare most people never see them, or even would know they are in the bathroom with one. This is just about, as usual, people trying to tell others how they should live their lives.

    heterosexual men are a real risk to children, not transgendered.

    My solution to the bathroom debate is the same solution for the transgender cat debate.

    I laugh and move on. It's a non-issue the lefties thought up, and deserves nothing more than laughter before ignoring it completely.

    An ass kicking will surely result when a girl comes running out saying "daddy there was a man in there with me".

    Interesting that you would say that since its been proven that gay/trans are more inclined to taking interests in children.

    But it also brings up the other reality of the tranny hysteria laws.

    Simply enforcing a blanket standard that says "if you feel like youre a girl go on in" creates the opportunity for abuse.

    Here's some examples of what I'm talking about, some trans some and some just using it as an excuse to gain access:

    It is not "bigoted" for real women to not want to share the bathroom with someone who has a dick.

    Seriously. Why do you think people with a penis get to use the washroom with women?

    Actually, it's you in fantasyland. You gave a ridiculous scenario that I gave an answer to . I noticed how you didn't address how you could keep a 6 personality person from getting 6 different licenses. You think the DMV gives a psychological test?

    Good. Now we are getting somewhere. Compromise. Restaurants, pubs(bars), school restrooms, shops and public rest rooms all unisex. Showers specified sex
