LOL on all of this. Espeically the "THIS is why I left CA..." types. Pretty sure they (or you) are never going to encounter the things you yell about. What percentage of the population are trangendered, how many identify as such in HS, how many will be using on campus toilets (my kids avoided it if they could) and what are the odds that your precious little girls will be ATTACKED or TRAMATIAZED? It's not like anyone is watching while someone is sitting on the toilet folks. You have NO IDEA who the person in the next stall is now, or what they are all about, so stop fretting about someone who just needs to answer natures call.

This law was passed because it SERIOUSLY doesn't do much at all. It was a no brainer. I also see a future where full doors, rather than the partial "privacy door" is installed in new construction restrooms Not because it will be demanded by "other sexed" but because the fear mongers will insist. The UNProblem solves itself most of the time.

Actually this would just be another goofy right wing "crisis", kinda like the "War on Christmas", were it not for whipping up hysteria and harassment towards transgendered folks (and as usual with the Far Right, towards anyone else who's "not like them").

Trans Student Attacking Girls in School Restroom! Or, you know.… NOT.
School Board Member: Let’s Castrate Transgender Students
Trans-Bashing Cop Trial in Memphis (video)

But no worries, they're just defending us against the Liberal War on Children, don'tcha know…

To satisfy the desires of a very small percentage of students who have "gender identification problems" we put the vast majority of otherwise normal students in a bad position and possible danger ? Land of Fruits and Nuts seems pretty appropriate with this new ruling.

The bolded part of your comment is untrue. You don't like the idea, fine. But don't misrepresent the law and its intended application.

Genitals, we all have them, why be so scared and uptight about it?
Uptight? I think we've evolved...it's not that we're scared of genitals, we're scared of how will they be USED!!!! Big diff!

This comes as no surprise anymore! Lots of drugged heads there who've lost any shred of common sense!

Speaking of "common sense", aren't you also one of those folks who fret about the "War on Christmas"?!

Geez, what is it with 'wingers and all their "culture wars"?!!

"Lot's of drugged heads" where now?

This post is ridiculous. Nothing about this law has anything to do with guys barging into girls bathrooms and raping them. BTW, "common sense" isn't expressed with a lot of exclamation points.

If a man who identified as female walked into a public women's bathroom, I wouldn't care.

If a man who identified as male and was attracted to the female gender walked into a public women's bathroom, I would feel uncomfortable.

Wife maybe not so much, but its a price I'd pay to be on the other end of the deal. Daughter is ok, shes an adult and free to date or hook up with anyone she wants. She also carry's a concealed handgun, so I'm not at all worried about her, and a smidge for you.

You are asking a question of people who think perversion is an obsolete idea. To them there is no such thing as perversion. It's a just a tired old religious concept. That's how laws like this get passed in the first place.
