This is about pretend virtue, fig leaves. Nobody was policing restrooms before this, as long as the patrons did not make a nuisance of themselves. Nobody is comparing the past to the present either in calculating the gains and drawbacks of legislating something that is even more unenforceable than Prohibition. Yes, I said unenforceable. That’s a good way to lose respect for the rule of law — it is like legislating that everybody’s socks must match even if they are not visible in footwear.
Not so. It's been accepted practice throughout my lifetime that if once in a huge while a woman saw a man or a tranny (only in a big, creepy city) in the ladies' room, all she had to do was come out and call a cop. Or the manager. Who would come and throw him the f*** out.
If the Feds want to make those protecting the ladies into criminals, do you seriously not see that most people would rally round the ladies, rather than the predators--if it's put that way?
That was how Sen. Craig Livingston got busted.
There are laws in place against lewd behavior that can be easily be enforced without getting the Feds involved.
