Would have been better off leaving it as it was.
I'd feel the exact same way as I would if I found a lady in a public restroom naked at the sink. that is reaching.

No problems if a Trans man is next to me in the stall though... Naked or whatever. Same as if a straight woman is in the stall. I do agree with you that we would have been better off keeping it as it was. No one cared and was the wiser of who was innocently relieving themselves in the next stall.

Doing so would have gotten them kicked out and probably get them arrested, so it behooved them to keep things as discrete as possible.

Now, with the legal changes any man can walk into any women's facility and get as naked as he wants in clear view of as many women as he wants to be seen by because now they have the legal right to be there.

So is that the fear then? That hordes of clearly non-transgendered men will be lurking around bathrooms with their penises hanging out? LOL

I guess I think it's silly to make restrooms unisex unless that are just single private lockable one person restrooms, I wouldn't have a problem with that, but what about business that have standard mens/womens rooms. Are those supposed to now be unisex? Is that what these new laws are allowing for?

I know personally if I got my johnson in my hand at a urinal I'm not really comfortable with a gaggle of women coming in and using the restroom, cause we all know that women can't got to the bathroom alone. j/k.

I think the common sense and practical thing is to keep things the same as they are now, transgendered people just use the room that correlates to the restroom they most resemble physically and just be discreet.

The practical and logistical hurdles aren't really fair to the 97% of the population that isn't transgendered. I feel a little bad for the transgendered people here, but this all seem to be driven by the ridiculous overly-PC garbage that is being pushed onto society.

This whole issue shows how sick our society is... and I don't necessarily mean that in a moral way. What I mean is this: how terminally ill is our society when an issue that affects significantly less than 1% of the population receives this much time and attention.

Of course, the most likely explanation is this lunacy is meant to divert our attention from the issues that actually ARE important, such as how politicians in both parties sell out the American people to foreign interests on a daily basis.

It's a wedge issue meant to get votes in primary elections.

That's sorta my main point here. The percentage of people who are transgendered has to be really small, I was generous in my earlier point of 3 percent, but most likely it probably is closer to 1 percent. So all of the technical and logistical and frankly embarrassing aspects of this has to be dealt with? 99 percent of the population has to be put out for 1 percent and that 1 percent has been using restrooms using discretion since before these laws. Why do we have to bend over backwards for an issue that really shouldn't be an issue??

We should probably avoid all uses of the phrase "bend over" and it's variants when discussing the issue of sexual deviants in the ladies room.
