The answer for this seems to be for a business that is concerned about this is to put in a unisex bathroom but it wold have to be their choice not mandated by the feds.

Does anyone remember that TV show in the 90's "Ally Mcbeal" it was about a bunch of lawyers and their bathroom was unisex. Maybe the show was ahead of its time?

North Carolina sees men using womens bathrooms as a problem and they are moving to ban the practice. They are making a stand against a PC surge.

I still think that most women would prefer not to have some odd guy in the bathroom when they go in there. Transgendered people are not perverts but we all know there will be people who take advantage of any loop hole in the law.

A few months back it was all about the confederate flag and now the controversy is about bathrooms.

What is next on the horizon that will get the PC crowd outraged?

It's not all roses for Trans even in the gay community either, but at least they are more accepted.
How are they leeching?

What do you mean " off " is an orientation? I don't understand what you mean.
Ace refers to asexual, which refers to folks with NO sexual attraction or desire for men OR women. Hence my playful use of the term 'off'. I guess you're not quite up to date on this yet, eh?


And the gay world is very diverse; I assure you that trans folk are NOT universally welcome in it.
You don't hear about it because mindlessly liberal politically correct pressures exist everywhere.
Such opinions exist but they are not very vocal - yet.

Should the majority of folks stop supporting these companies to protest their stance in NC?
Why can't paypal put in a third bathroom for transgendered people in their offices?

Men would you be upset if a woman came in to use the mens room ?

Women would you be upset if a man came in to use the ladies room?

How long will this PC nonsense continue before the majority says enough is enough?
It's "Kind of" what it will be like in the end times. Those with the mark of the beast will prosper, those without will be slaughtered.

Thus, this is "Economic Slaughter" and soon it will be physical.

Just my opinion....

Lack of unisex clothing?

Astounding to read these posts about equal rights being PC nonsense.

Yeah, but one company tried to create an "ungendered" line, and people didn't like it.

Zara Released An "Ungendered" Clothing Line And People Are Pissed



It's always something to be offended about...

The additional error in your argument is that all of those millions of people, are uncomfortable with this.

Do all you folks who are so put out by accommodation have sex segregated bathrooms in your homes? If not, why not?

No, because only one person uses them at a time. Also, only a limited number of people -- who I know -- use the restroom in my home.

Apples and oranges.

I know what asexual is, but I can assure you the term ACE is not used where I live.

I also know the " gay world " is very diverse, and I did say that transgendered people are not universally accepted with open arms but ARE aligned with the gay community because of similar human rights issues and that the gay community overall is MORE accepting that the straight one.

You seem to be arguing with yourself.
