Got a point there, autumn. How's about I let you have a peek at my medical records? I'll DM you when I have that.

When your sister goes into the women's public restroom, guess what gender will be joining her. She didn't get very far ...

If you're thinking that only other women will be joining her, you may want to understand that bill a wee bit better ...

Chaos, there's a word.

The same is true of a bathroom. Just what are you doing that would give a predator access? And just why do you assume a predator isn't going to share your genitalia?

Please use the single stall bathroom if you are so concerned.
the Gap has this kind of setup, Gap Outlet too.

boys and girls in dressing rooms right next to each other??!!! where's my bible??

And if you're nuts, you should have no expectation of consideration from those surrounding you, right? Sucks to be you, now don't you dare raise your voice as we kick you down a few rungs. You don't count, you're nuts.

And people like you wonder why you're considered bigots.

A Male can relieve himself either by standing or sitting.

A Female has only one choice and that is to sit.

Maybe all restrooms should have a sign that states "Stand or Sit"

I posted above, your sister did not get very far. When she goes into a women's restroom a straight male hetero may follow her and use the facility as well. No big deal right? Let's break it down into simple terms ...

Can people not take into account that assaults and sexual assaults is not about the sex. It is about, dominance and control of another being? (simple facts) Men and women have experienced this type of assault. However, men are less likely to report it. Many women stay silent, because a) they don't want to relive the experience in having to tell of the event b) chances of convictions are still considered slim.

Means, opportunity and environment. Odds are, not in a busy restroom. How about a restroom that is not so busy? Odds of winning at a lottery are slim, but there are still those that win.

What it is going to take is for an assault to happen, not to a hetero, but to a trans, before people go, oh wait ...

Before a city will put a stop light in at an intersection, there has to be five fatal accidents. How many assaults (and the vultures are circling) before people begin to rethink this idea of genderless restrooms, where public safety should be at the forefront of this decisions, it is now the last thought any one has on their mind?

In reading the words of a trans woman, she said that before the passing of the legislature she was allowed to use the teacher's private facility at her school. She was comfortable doing that. Now, not so much. As now she is in the common use facilities along with every one else and she is now, uncomfortable ...
