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.

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

This = +1

IMO, if a transgender is living "as the opposite sex," and it's only a matter of the plumbing not being changed from outdoor to indoor (or the other way around), but is in all other aspects doing their 1-2 year stint "living as the other gender" that is necessary for surgery.... then they should be able to use the bathroom that matches their gender, and "soon to be" sex.


Practically, I think the point of separate bathrooms is usually for the protection of women against men, and for women's modesty (plus, as I recall from my days working at a department store in high school, women's restrooms are usually so much more filthy in public places than mens' rooms, so men should count our blessings!)

There's a HUGE difference between a random guy in a dress, and a transgender, who will probably view every pre-operation trip to a public restroom as a terrifying experience. Again, however, how is anyone going to know that the woman that just walked in is sporting male genitalia underneath the women's clothing? What one may think is a tranny could just be an ugly woman... and sometimes, a beautiful woman at the bar used to be a man!

This is like the third post you've written in which it appears like you just REALLY wanna attack a transsexual.

Very odd.

Maybe I'm not crazy about them encountering this:

Exactly. A good friend of mine is transgender; she had her surgery earlier this year. She says one thing people fail to realize is that your gender is defined by what is between your ears (your brain for those that can't make the connection), not what is between your legs.

It saddens me to see such hatred for those who don't fit the mold of a white, heterosexual male / female. I don't get it, and I probably don't want to.

By that 'logic', you'd better keep them out of the women's room all together.

No,it appears that the trannys are attacking me....I am NOT ok with this and find anyone who is to kinda be a sicko.

You can not find a single post I've ever made against gay people on this forum or any other forum I have ever posted on,I'm for equal rights for gays...this issue is a completely different one and I think it's pretty sick that anyone would be ok with this....JMO and it's worth what you paid for it,just like your opinion.

Some people are so obsessed with the genitalia of others

Aye, male to females tend to come in one of two types- guy in a dress or supermodel. There very rarely seems to be an in between.
