“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”.”

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.

“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...”

They only set standards for EMPLOYEE restrooms, not public facilities that happen to be provided by a business. Nor do they set standards of the type you were talking about (who can use which restrooms in public facilities), nor do they set standards for accessibility of such restrooms (that would be covered by the ADA, which is administered by the Justice Department, not OSHA). Sorry, but you are simply wrong here. You made an argument invoking OSHA in discussions of public restroom facilities, and OSHA does not regulate public restroom facilities.

“There you go again. I didn’t call you a “liar”. I said you told a “lie”...”

I’m not going to argue what the meaning of “is” is with you, Senor Clinton. It seems I was correct in my original assessment of whether you had class or not though.

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

No, I just refuse to try to defend your strawman. You built him, you defend him.
