The two sides of the debate both believe that government has the legitimate authority to tell private businesses who they should allow to use their facilities.

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.

I have not heard a conservative make an argument that the government should force private businesses to prohibit "transgender" people from using the women's room. Conservatives argue that the government should do that for public restrooms. Conservatives argue that we should boycott private businesses that let men use women's rooms. But I have never heard a conservative say that the government should force private businesses to do anything.

Hmm neither have I, and think about it if you have an Doctors or Dentist appointment and you have to use the bathroom there is just one bathroom. You just lock the door when you go in and the next person has to wait until you come out.

If you propose that private businesses should be allowed to exclude black people, you will quickly find conservatives saying the government should force private businesses to do something.

I was in my local Fred Meyer store yesterday and happened to need to use the facilities. There “used” to be “His” and “Her” dedicated restrooms. Fred’s solution...both rooms denoted for both sexes.

This actually works here, as the two rooms are not multi-stall, but “one user at a time”, with the door locked from the inside during use. What was the “His” room does have a stand-up urinal. I didn’t check to see if they had added that to what was the “Her” room.

Paul demonstrates the moral equivalence that is all too common among libertarians. Always willing to equate the defense of a thousand years of western culture with the government enforced cultural depravity of the Left. Russell Kirk never had any use for them.
