I understand people's argument that they want to keep their kids safe. I totally agree that we should try to keep kids safe at all costs. But, come on, they are not going to be protected by a law that absolutely no one can enforce any more than a 'Men' or 'Women' sign is going to keep out predators.
Just wait until we hear a story about some poor woman in a bad mood and even worse hair day getting called out for maybe being a dude in a skirt. Hope she sues the pants off someone. (pun intended)
Here's the deal. If you live in or have visited a major city in the US, it is very likely that you already have shared a bathroom with a transgendered person. It's done. Get over it.
These people just want to get in there, do their business, and get out. Preferably without having to go through the embarrassment of having you look twice at them and be disgusted. Everyone poops. There is a book about it. Read it. Even those who some lawmakers deem 'unsavory' or 'deranged' have to poop. Preferably in a room where they feel most suited.
My main issue with this ridiculous law is that the people who support it think of transgendered people as 'delusional or perverted men in dresses'. Granted, there are some who are just beginning to transition, some who are not very far into the process who...look a little 'off'. Fine. But they really need to look at the people who have fully made the change as well. Men who have full beards, large muscles, and lots of tattoos....and the female box checked on their birth certificate. Women who are more beautiful than I can ever hope to be, slender frames, amazing breasts, soft voices.....and they used to have a penis.
I'm almost positive I can tell the difference between a pervert in a dress who just wants to peek in on the girls and a woman who needs to pee. And, if I can't tell the difference, there has yet to be a case in the US where a guy has dressed as a women just so he can spy on the women in the bathroom.
You know who does spy on women in the bathroom? Regular guys. They set up cameras, they crawl through the ceilings, they make holes in the walls, etc.
And, the bathroom with the most perverts is the men's room. And, no, not because women are dying to figure out what you guys do in there. (We know. Dear god we know.) Child molesters are statistically white males. They are now, and always have been, allowed in the men's room where your son is innocently using his penis as a fire hose.
Your sons are the ones sharing a bathroom with a Catholic priest who may or may not have been moved to your parish due to 'misconduct'.
Your son that is now in the stall next to some congressman who is trying desperately to tap out sex code with his foot.
Your son who is having a man's cell phone camera pointed at them from their belt loop.
Do not begin to tell me that this law is about protecting your daughters from men in dresses when you won't begin to protect your sons from men in jeans.
Do not begin to tell me that a law you can't enforce is going to be the thing that stops your daughters from being preyed upon. Criminals don't give a shit about your laws on paper. That's why they are criminals.
When will these bigoted people just come out and say they are just weirded out by transgendered people? Stop hiding behind superficial laws, tired old religious nonsense, and general fear. Just tell us that you're intolerant and refuse to understand. I'll have more respect for someone who is just honest.
Until then, get over yourself and stop worrying so much about where people go pee. Perv.
