False advertising is illegal. As such cross dressers & transvestites are breaking the law. No amount of surgery can change X chromosomes to Y & that is the definitive test of biological sex.

I don't generally have a problem with public restrooms, and use when necessary. Have found in this area they are generally very clean and properly stocked with the seat covers, etc. Also many unisex type facilities here, so have started using those because noone is ever in there! Nice find.

Personally have no problems with sharing a restroom with a transgendered person. Have worked with several of them, and were very sweet, gentle souls trapped in the wrong body. Tragic for them. But can see an issue for a mother with small children. Mothers who bring in their 12 y/o boys is interesting. That is a little uncomfortable, but moreso for the child who appears very uncomfortable and even frightened to be in there with all those strange women. Why don't parents think?

Geeeez! This is a reach isn't it? What about a female who is biologically male? Is that not false advertising?

I have used the mens room in a pinch on more than one occasion and really don't see why this is even an issue.

I totally Agree! =)

Look, a passable mtf will use the womens room, and no one will know. A ftm will use the mens room, usually a cubicle, and likewise they pass- no one will know. Unpassable mtf's usually use disabled toilets.

Default Transgender or trans-equivocal

The issue isn't really about where you pee, it's about sanctity of womanhood or manhood. Any person electing to have a team of physicians mutilate a perfectly functional reproductive organ in the name of a diseased sense of a sexual identity must come to face the the fact that GENDER is imutable. Shall we "correct" GOD?There is a very preascious set physical ,emotional,and spiritual atrributes that make a woman a woman.How dare we think that the simple consumption of estrogen and reproductive mutilation is all it takes to enter that realm.Men....it's time to pick up your pens and fight.We must provide a place for women to use the restroom where a woman IS a woman.Fact. You can't create an artificial estate of being and confer upon it inaileable rights as you would the original estate without a net sum loss.You can't make room for a transequivocal in the womans bathroom without adulterating that which is woman.

I'm sorry but the issue is EVERYTHING to do with urination and bodily functions and individual dignity and NOTHING to do with GOD as far as I'm concerned.
It also has nothing to do with men picking up their pens and fighting. By all means do so if you feel the need to but don't be doing it as some psuedo altruistic defense of women. I don't require your misguided battle, thank you all the same.

I'm more than happy to share a bathroom with whomever may need it REGARDLESS of gender OR gender re-assignment, although I must say I probably wouldn't be all that keen to get trapped in a restroom with a bible thumper with a warped sense of humanity.

I do not share your views on the sanctity of womanhood or manhood.

Perhaps we need bathrooms for those who cannot cope with everybody else and one for those of us who can?

I don't usually resort to insults but you're an ignorant idiot. Get your head out of your bible and do some research. Transsexuals are neuroligicaly intersex- they have the neural structures of the opposite sex. Some are biologicaly intersex too.

Rep point!

Transsexuals are transsexual because that IS the way God made them.
