    You want schools to be gender neutral, yet you want special treatment for your child........

    You said you believe schools should be gender neutral.

    Or am I misinterpreting what I think you mean by gender neutral?

    private stalls for everyone, like adult gyms.... I want everyone treated equally based on their ability to learn, not what is between their legs

    no

    you have a problem saying what you think you are saying

    gender neutral by definition means they can use the same facilities

    nothing in the definition implies PRIVATE facilities for all

    Where kids take a (*)(*)(*)(*) has nothing to do with learning........

    me thinks you are looking for a problem where one does not exist

    So you have no issues with your teenage daughter using the same bathroom as teenage boys as long as she has a private stall?

    how about no showers, when I attended school I took a shower at home.

    should my gay 16 year old boy shower with other boys?

    I don't see this as a value part of school. My school district didn't either.

    if they were private stalls like we have at the gym, then they would not be with teenage boys... as they are PRIVATE stalls

    agree, when I was young I did not need a shower as took one at home, but the gym teacher made us get naked and at least wet our hair.... probably a pedophile, wonder how many gym teachers are?

    I don't know about the pedophile thing, but I never understood why it was so important to humiliate children.

    The only one I have ever seen that did was the YMCA.

    I don't take showers at the gym. I find public showers to be absolutely disgusting.

    Oh will you cut it out...

    Answer my question its a simple yes or no.

    Would you have a problem with your teenage daughter using the same bathroom as teenage boys? Yes or no

    All bathrooms have private stalls unless you are in the Marine Corp basic training barracks from Vietnam where they had full blown open toilets lined up against the wall. Stop tip toeing around the question and answer it.

    If you do, then the concept of male bonding is a foreign one to you.

    All I see in your topic posts are I, I, I... Everyone else is saying we, we, we... See the difference? As an immortal Spock often said, "good of the many outweighs the good of a few, or the one". And I do applause you doing your thinkin private, btw.

    I assume your school had no athletics program.........

    this is where showering would come into play.

    It's about doing something you don't want to do, you know, real life lessons?

    I'm sure you're going to say "What does getting naked with other people have to do with life"

    So I will add if you never teach a child to do something they don't want, why would they ever work?

    Yes, once again let's wag the entire dog to appease the tail.

    If someone identifies as transgendered, why not just let them use private facilities instead of making everyone else uncomfortable? Wouldn't that be the obvious solution?



    They're extremely common. I go to a gym everyday that has one.

    Come on Unifer you know better than that. You know that we must cater to the minority at the expense of the majority. Haven't you been living in this country in the past few years?

    These people are all for allowing transgender people to use whatever facility they like until it becomes a threatening problem.

    So once again I will say, if a guy thinks he's a girl and wants to use the female locker room and shower and we allow that then fine. I now identify myself as a female, not the pretty female kind but the rugged kind who likes to have her hair short with tattoos and whatnot and dress more masculine. That isn't uncommon as we all know. I will now use the female locker room and shower at the gym. If ANYBODY says something to me then they are a bigot who is discriminating against me. I want EVERY SINGLE progressive on this forum to support my decision if you support allowing transgender people to use whatever facilities they please. If you do not support my decision then you are a hypocrite and there is no way around it. There isn't a single person who can PROVE I am not actually a transgender who identifies himself as a female. And since nobody can prove it they must support me.

    Point taken. From now on, I'm a chick with a beard and a bald spot. Perhaps they'll let me shower with the girls at the gym. If not, I'll just call the ACLU.

    I'll meet you there. Look for the short ugly chick with the Army haircut, tattoos, and muscles. My anti testosterone pills haven't kicked in yet so I'm still kinda bulky. Hopefully nobody minds, and if they do then who cares you and I will just sue the place.
