“Do you even know what OSHA does? They certainly don’t set standards for bathrooms for public facilities.”

It is a real mystery why people like you go to all of the trouble to just flat out lie when it is so easy to lookup the facts before you speak and avoid publishing such an obvious lie. OSHA does in fact regulate restrooms. See:

Code of Federal Regulations
Title 29 - Labor
Volume: 5
Date: 2015-07-01
Original Date: 2015-07-01
Title: Section 1910.141 - Sanitation.
Context: Title 29 - Labor. Subtitle B - Regulations Relating to Labor (Continued). CHAPTER XVII - OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. PART 1910 - OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS. Subpart J - General Environmental Controls.

“If so, then where do you expect the midgets to urinate and defecate while going about their public business and personal affairs? Are you seriously going to propose they must stay home and let someone take care of them because they are not allowed out in the public view?”

“I’m not proposing anything about midgets and bathrooms, YOU proposed that. I’m not sure what you hope to accomplish by destroying the strawman you just built, I’m just sitting back and watching you do that with amusement.”

You are the person who used the analogy of midgets not being allowed to ride on amusement park rides in response to a discussion about whether or not ALL transgendered people must be mentally ill and denied entrance to the Women’s restrooms, so I quite on topic brought your own analogy about midgets back to the original topic of having restroom privileges for an entire class of people without regard for their physical and mental suitability. Would you rather address the subject of whether or not ALL transgendered people are mentally ill and therefore disqualified from using the amusement park rides?

“OSHA does in fact regulate restrooms.”

Of course, but that’s not what the issue is. As I said, completely accurately, OSHA does not set standards for restrooms in PUBLIC FACILITIES (which was YOUR example). OSHA only regulates WORKPLACES. In case you were not aware, the “O” in “OSHA” stands for “occupational”.

I don’t expect you to retract calling me a liar, though you would if you had any class.

“You are the person who used the analogy of midgets not being allowed to ride on amusement park rides in response to a discussion about whether or not ALL transgendered people must be mentally ill and denied entrance to the Women’s restrooms, so I quite on topic brought your own analogy about midgets back to the original topic of having restroom privileges for an entire class of people without regard for their physical and mental suitability.”

It doesn’t mater what you think is “quite on topic”. Feel free to argue against my analogy all you want, when you decide to change the analogy, it becomes YOUR analogy, not MINE any longer, and you cannot expect ME to defend YOUR analogy. This is pretty basic stuff.
