This question is sparked by the great hypocrisy of the month. It has to do with paypal and other big companies that are boycotting North Carolina over their plan to bar transgendered men from using the ladies room yet these big companies have no problem doing business and opening offices in countries that are terrible for gay people. If you are gay in the Phillipines you can get lashed and face up to 20 years in Prison yet paypal has corporate offices there? SO why are they making such a fuss about North Carolina?
It is obvious that in America we want to make everyone feel welcome, safe and our laws provide certain rights for everyone. Personally I don't want a guy who thinks he is a woman that day go into the ladies room with my wife, mother, sister or nieces. The ladies room is a place where women can let down their guard a bit, do their business in peace, check their look and go back out into the world.
I don't think most women would be too happy when they are applying some lipstick at the sinks and some 6'4 hairy guy in heels comes out of a stall.
Let's give our women some peace.
Now I think gays, lesbians transgendered and miscellaneous others should NOT be discriminated against in any way but come on. They make up a small percentage of the population yet the majority is being asked to bend over to their ways.
So paypal and other companies refuse to do business with North Carolina because of this bathroom silliness yet they continue to do business with countries that have horrible human rights violations against gay people.
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 is all very noble but come on is nothing sacred anymore? What parent in their right mind is going to send their daughter or daughters into a ladies room that might have some pervert in there who decided that it would be fun to dress up like woman and mess with some kids.
I think that society has proven that if given some allowances there are those that will take advantage of any situation.
How long will it be before a pervert gets beaten up by a concerned dad because his kid just had her picture taken while she was using the toilet? The Dad would probably be charged with a gay bashing hate crime.
I'm not calling the transgendered people perverts but we all know that if guys are allowed to use the ladies room because the PC wind is blowing that way there will be someone who is going to take advantage of it.
So if a guy who identifies as a woman but hasn't had "the" operation yet dresses like a woman one day but the next does not for whatever reason should he use still use the ladies room?
America is becoming a crazy place meanwhile around the world people are wondering if they will have anything to eat today or if some terrorist will kill them. A crazy place.
I don't care who uses the public bathroom with me - man, woman, alien, whatever. I wouldn't feel any less safe with any stranger, as long as they are not obviously threatening.. in which case I probably wouldn't use the restroom while they are in there.
I'm sure transgender men who look like females have been using our ladies room for decades. Butch woman who appear male no doubt use the men's room, with nobody being the wiser. Why is this suddenly an issue being pushed by the LGBT?
Is nothing sacred to that group? Must we fight the activists on every issue? We all know that if they win this, our Ladies Room will be a thing of the past.

It certainly has been going on for years and if someone is discrete about it and they are actually believe they are a woman and living their lives as one then go ahead and use the ladies room.
I think activist groups have the right idea to bring attention to people who struggle in normal society but we all know where this might go. People cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
A small percentage of muslims are terrorists.
A small percentage of people are transgendered
A small percentage of people are perverts.
We take a risk when we let unvetted muslims into the country. We take a risk when we let a small amount of perverts into the ladies room.
By going over the top and allowing PC nonsense to cloud common sense we are asking for trouble. I only bring up the push for more muslims into the country as an example. I could have said Obamacare or illegal immigration or welfare. These are all things that started as ideas to help people but many have taken advantage and scam the system. Why do we think men in the ladies room will be any different?
How soon will it be when some guy that claims to be a woman slips his cellphone under or over a stall to capture a unsuspecting woman doing her business? There are perverts that enjoy that type of thing. Women have enough problems worrying about the cat calls, unwanted advances and upskirting photos that they should be given a break when they go to the ladies loo.
I think North Carolina is right to take a stand and say enough is enough and more states should stop bending over for a small minority and start listening to the majority.
There are two sexes, men and women. There are no other people (yes, there are hermaphrodites but leave them out of it).
It seems that there are also some men who don't think they are men and some women who don't think they are women. For these people, another classification could be created: nonmen. This would be for men and women who for some reason don't feel comfortable being what they were born.
It would include, obviously, travestites. It might also include homosexuals and lesbians. But they wouldn't necessarily have to join.
Then, we could create a third restroom. For Nonmen. I don't know what the logo would be. Maybe they could come up with one or hire a commercial artist to do it.

How far should we bend over to accomodate?
