My state (SC) is considering passing a bill that would require transgender people use the restroom according to the sex they were born with on their birth certificate. This would be for public restrooms, public universities, and public agencies. I have no problem with that! I hope it passes in our state. I don't want a transvestite in the bathroom with my son or daughter. I also will cancel my paypal account since they are giving a hard time to North Carolina for passing this common sense bill!
If you have a Penis, you go to the Men's room. If not, you go to the ladies room. If a person went so far as to have that level of "change", I wouldn't want to force them to use the bathroom "appropriate" to their birth-sex. If you have junk, boy's room. If not, girl's room!

I'm sure the OP could have chosen from hundreds or thousands of bills dealing with health, education, crime and other issues. Let's face it, pro-choice bathroom bills now are now Hot Topic.

Letting men use women's facilities, and women use men's, is important enough for politicians to spend time on.

Yep. And if you have different plumbing but still want to go in the other bathroom just make sure no one sees it. Simple as that. I just don't want 7 year-old little girls seeing adult penises.

Yes, I am a prude, especially when it comes to 7 year-olds or other minors.

Dang it! Several weeks ago I made an extremely aggressive, emotional rant against this bill over several posts...and you just changed my mind with a few words. It wasn't even an informative post. It was just you stating you opinion.

Wow, I'm easily brainwashed, aren't I? That's something to remember in the future.

Alright, now some transgender person opposed to this bill make an argument, and we'll see if I get brainwashed back the other direction.

Do you really think your going to make people who are uncomfortable with trannys comfortable by making them share a bathroom.
As a man, would you be comfortable with caitlyn jenner showing up in the men's bathroom. How would you react. You would probably be uncomfortable so why not let her use the ladies room.

Have fun with that.
He/she can have fun pulling it out and trying to pee in the urinal. Whats interesting, In Iran this person would be considered a man, but not so much here.
