Mayor Parker should have left well enough alone. So where, now, do we put the urinals? And what about signage for the restrooms? What about indecent exposure charges? There's a whole bunch of things to take into account here.

It is a lie.

Houston passed a human rights ordinance nearly exactly like the ones in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, San Antonio, Baltimore, etc., etc.

It protects gay folks from discrimination.

Men cannot walk into women's bathrooms.

Women cannot enter men's locker rooms.

You really didn't read the articles or the discussion so far did you?

One way Philadelphia is dealing with transgender people is by providing single/"family"/non-gender specific restrooms.

Believe it or not some men and women are "pee-shy" and can't go in a public restroom, this is a boon for them too.

You go to one of these restrooms, lock the door, you're all alone.

City Hall and municipal buildings have them. Most buildings on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania (where I work) and Drexel University (where my gym is) have them. No, men cannot use the Ladies Room.

I didn't find anything particularly unusual in the ordinance that would be an issue:

I'll withhold further comments until the final version of the ordinance is available.

[some of you probably should, too]

The family restrooms are good for changing babies and using the restroom when you need to watch the baby.

Dr. Steven Hotze, Republican political kingmaker, author, and owner of a successful health and wellness center, argues that “Mayor Parker’s ordinance would include minority status for transvestites, allowing men who dress as women to enter women’s public bathrooms and locker room areas.” Dr. Hotze says that his intent is to “protect my wife, daughters and granddaughters from being exposed to the dangers of male sexual predators masquerading as women in women’s bathrooms and other facilities.”


The new ordinance (HERO) applies to all City Facilities and any business that employees 50 people or more. Health clubs, Hotels and the like. I wonder if this applies to Schools? Won't that be fun, any make who puts on a skirt now has access to all female locker rooms and shower facilities as well as the restrooms ..... if it does apply to schools. I don't know why it wouldn't apply to schools, they are City Facilities.
Schools are not city facilities.
