active imaginations is exactly what the problem is going to be. seriously I was a 15 year old boy. I know what goes thru the mind.... LOL.
this is gonna be a mess.
As has been pointed out, it isnt just bathroom picking. It is what sport you play, who has access to which lockerroom.... etc.
this is a nightmare and it will end up hurting transgendered students.
I would not have even bothered to comment if Cali had passed a law creating transgendered restrooms. I get the conflict.... but this bill is a trainwreck.
I suppose so, but to state that EVERY 15 year old boy or teenager has those kind of thoughts running through their mind is a false statement. You're not taking into account the late bloomers who don't start to get sexual thoughts until later in their lives...I would know because it happened to me.
You make a decent point, but the active imagination isn't helping anyone.
Broads? Charming. Not quite as charming as pulling your penis out and waving it at security guards, but charming nonetheless.
Hate that you missed that, huh? Maybe next time--since you're homo-philic (penis-philic if you're male).
You want find the yuppie NSA doing that. Especially outnumbered 6 to 1. Maybe a drunk Navy SEAL or a drunken associate of the Chicago Outfit. Maybe even a drunk Milwaukee cop.
Some of you need to seriously educate yourself on what transgenderism is.
For the guys here (and yes, I say guys, because it's all male posters making these comments) - how would you feel if somebody forcibly removed your male genitalia and replaced them with female genitalia? Would you simply go about your lives making wonderful sandwiches and driving poorly? Or would you know that you're still a man? This is exactly how transgender people feel.
As for the boys pretending to be transgendered - it might be a fun, one (or few time) fantasy, but given the misogyny of most teenage males, do you think that one would really fully commit to being transgendered to see some girls in the locker room? Seriously? The shame of being a girl to a non-transgendered boy would be far, far greater than the thrill of seeing some girls in the shower.
These right-wing hacks disgust me. Big deal, transgender students are treated as equals. It is a MEDICAL CONDITION which is RECOGNIZED BY SCIENCE.
Someone who is transgender didn't just up and decide to play dress up. It's the equivalent of having your brain in another gender's body. You people need to educate yourselves.
For crying out loud...this girl is ten times more girl-like than Honey Boo Boo (a show which, btw, the right wingers take parenting tips from)
And no one asks the obvious: if LESBIANS can use the girl's locker room, why can't a transgender girl? I think many girls would rather share a locker room with a transgender girl who likes boys than the younger version of Rosie O'Donnald.
Not as funny as the feigned outrage over how anybody would dare disagree with the government about where some transgender student should shower and pee. You go take a shower with em. Drop your soap too while your at it and see if you get a surprise. lol
I would much rather shower with someone who's transgender than share a shower room with a right-wing, evangelical preacher:
I am fine with how transgendered people feel, but at the same time, how about a non-trans female(s)? Why don't they get their rights and views protected and upheld? Why is it OK to cast aside their feelings in all this? See, this is part of the problem with "civil rights." We claim that we are moving to protect individual rights, but we don't. We are protecting classes of people, but at the same time, that requires violating another person's rights.
Okay, I have thought about this a little bit, and I understand why cisgendered people (especially females) would feel uncomfortable sharing restrooms, locker rooms, and showers with transgendered people. I don't know what the solution is. I don't think it's to lash out at transgendered people though and mock them mercilessly like some people in this thread do, however.

The solution is simple. Do what they did back in the days of my Roman ancestors: have co-ed lockers and showers, have people get over the human body, and move on.
Wow, you see another human being nude and they see you nude as well. Big f**^#in' deal. It's not like teenage girls are having an orgy in the locker room or anything (well, I have seen that exact thing on motherless...)
Why can't people just get over nudity? Just another sign of what's wrong with modern society.
Supporters say the law will help cut down on bullying against transgender students
More proof California voters are crazy. This bill won't do anything to cut down bullying. Do they really think that a girl going into the boys locker room is going to be picked on/teased/bullied LESS because of this? When the guys see a boy coming out of the girls locker/bath room he's going to be teased LESS? Not a chance.
Either the people pushing this are totally out of touch with reality, or they're not being honest - probably both.
