If you have to ask you don't get it.

Please do explain it to me, then. Perhaps I'm a bit daft.

think they should be allowed to go to the nut house!!

Pehaps you are. And no, I'm not going to write intimate details on a public forum. I think that goes beyond the boundaries of what is good taste.

Out of curiosity, how would you know what their public anatomy looks like?

When I was going through chemo, between the baldness/short hair, lack of eyelashes, 50 pound weight gain, and general lack of attention to physical appearance on my bad days, I was regularly mistaken for a man in public.

How would you know what gender the person "really" was? The nerve..

Get your biz done and buzz off. No drama.
This has zero to do with gay men...did you read the thread topic?

I see.

You state a public opinion, intimate that I'm stupid for not getting it, and then refuse to defend your position in any meaningful way. Hell of a case you've made there.

That's the major flaw in their argument. They can't get beyond the literal physical indicators of gender, black and white thinking.

If you think that is going to keep me from whipping some dude's ass really hard that goes in the same restroom as one of my daughters you are crazy.

I wonder how many many people with "improper" genitalia you've shared a restroom with?

Curious if you think that some TSA-style employees doing genitalia checks outside of public restroom is necessary.
