It's the looney left!

Using the power of the federal government to hold a gun to your head and demand you do what liberals demand, that's cool, they love that.

It's what these liberal fascists think a federal government is for, ramming their agenda down everyone's throats.

Ask the liberal NYC parents who didn't want their daughters changing and showering with a bearded male changing into and out of swim trunks (TIME Magazine).

Again, this is a LOSING issue for the left. 77% of those age 30+ are against school restroom/locker/shower room "choice" regardless of actual anatomical sex (CBS Poll).

All of this could be easily solved by just making all bathrooms unisex. Everywhere else in the world has them. Why don't we?
That hasn't been my experience. Even youth hostel wings/floors are segregated by sex.

Sorry. Thinking you are something that you aren't is in your mind. I've already stated that in the rare cases of it actually being physical , chemically or organs developed or not, then it obviously it isn't.


If in the next year I started feeling more and more like a woman and eventually wanted to live my life like one , without going thru transformation surgery... it is in my head.

Trump's administration rescinding the federal mandate regarding use of transgender issues makes it a state issue now. Contact your own state legislators about your concerns.

Agree with Trump. It is a state issue, not federal.

Talk to the medical community, it was taken OFF the list of mental illnesses 5 years ago. But then again, I'm guessing you were valedictorian at Harvard and know more than everybody.....

I had a family member who was a transsexual, got the hormones, surgery full nine yards. Perfectly normal in every other way, paid for their own surgery and treatments, and were successful in the working world including owning a sole proprietorship business for 15 years. Doesn't sound like a mental illness to me.

Maybe next we can go after the left handed. Or males with long hair!

Your reasoning has some significant flaws.
Always looking for something the be shocked over. Why do people even assume to know what bathroom every Transgender, On/off Transgender, Cross dresser or "Fill in the blank" person wants to use. I have a friend who shows up as a woman sometimes and a man at other times. I've know a couple of other people who have done the same thing, one for at least 20 years. I'm not sure what bathroom my friend or the others even use I'm sure Transgender people and cross dressers have been dealing with our societal norm of Male and Female restrooms for ever.
