choloboy36 - You must be an optimist to use 1966! It's more like 1956 or 1946!

So how would a M to F transgender person handle the Charlotte ordinance?

Regarding bathrooms, I believe trans folks need to be respectful. During transition at work I used a single, locked visitor’s bathroom until after surgery. In public situations I carried a letter from my psychologist explaining my situation, but never had to show it. I know my experience doesn’t cover all the bases but I also never felt “entitled” or expected society to rearrange their affairs because of me.

A male-to-female transgender person would use the female restroom if they were dressed as a female. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out!

What is dressed as a female mean

Jeans and a shirt?

Attention: only people in dresses can use the female restroom

They probably went on bio sex but now they could legally shift on their gender identity that day

I've never interviewed another user of a public facility regarding their orientations.
I think that is true of most of us.


If people start walking into the loo and spouting, "I'm xyz and Imma gone take a whiz," I foresee predicaments.
Yeah.. Sounds like "Don't ask. Don't tell." But, it seems it might be better than going all unisex, and that is where we are headed.
Like many businesspeople, I have one restroom in my office. Somehow biological functions are met.

I personally don't want female coworkers hearing me go number 2 but I align with your assessment

Segregate on gender identity there is really no case to segregate at all

But I think most of the public has a generally expectation of sex segregation

To me then bio sex with switching on a doctors diagnoses of Gender identity disorder could be sufficient

But again, I think starting the conversation around why do we segregate and then fitting trans folk into that rationale makes the most sense
