“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.

Having been responsible for OSHA compliance I am well aware of what the OSHA regulations encompass. OSHA sets standards for toilet facilities in all places used by employees, which includes all Public Restrooms used by employees in places like Walmart, Macys, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King, Pizza Hut, hospitals, libraries, automobile dealerships, airports, train stations, office buildings, ad infinitum. Quote:

§ 1910.141 Sanitation.
(a) General—(1) Scope. This section applies to permanent places of employment.
[ . . . ]
(2) Definitions applicable to this section.
Toilet room, means a room maintained within or on the premises of any place of employment, containing toilet facilities for use by employees.

There you go again. I didn’t call you a “liar”. I said you told a “lie”, meaning you deliberately or negligently made a statement which any responsible person should have known by consulting the source first was a false statement.

“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.”

Now you are evading the issue to avoid acknowledging your falsehoods.
