Go back to page 12 of this thread and see my posts about the solution of having a single stall bathroom for trans people. Perfect scenario where the few will not affect the many but the needs of the few will still be met.

Why do you think I'm a bigot? What have I said that illustrates this?

I did not say such a thing, reread my last post. Judging the world based on prejudices and bias and not treating everyone fairly would be bigotry, do you fit that bill?

funny you mention that, the trans community does everything to avoid using busy restrooms. Here is a site to find unisex restrooms.

Safe2pee Mobile

Funny, in France most public restrooms are unisex, even the large multi stall rooms.

Yes, and I am free to be against these laws and support other laws that require people to use the restroom of their biological sex.

I think that separate, private restrooms are the best solution. Where not available, I think everyone should use the restroom of their biological sex. I understand why the transgendered want to be allowed to use the restroom of their "true" gender; I simply don't see a fairer place to draw the line without getting into issues associated with cross dressers being able to use restrooms for the opposite sex.

And, to be clear, I'm 100% for laws banning discrimination against gays, lesbians, and the transgendered, am for gay marriage, etc.

I think they should use whichever facility is compatible with their current equipment.

I HAVE seen a female use a wall-mounted urinal, so I do know it is possible, but it ain't pretty.

OMG I agree with lifelongMOgal.

We hashed this out on my thread months ago.

Around the time of the McDonald's bathroom whompapalooza.

Have a look.

Making direct references to my bigotry and hate with no evidence whatsoever would make a person an unhinged liar, do you fit that bill? Before you answer you might want to check out post 143.
