Trump gives a direct, strong answer on transgendered people and bathrooms.
Althouse ^ | April 21, 2016 | Ann Althouse

I like the way he focused on the role of law. North Carolina enacted a law, and now "they're paying a big price, and there's a lot of problems." Law wasn't needed, because: "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble." There was already a social adjustment that accommodated people who needed to be accommodated.

Asked whether he would let Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman, use the bathroom of her choice at Trump Tower, he said he would. He added, "There's a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is … first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is."

He was clear, practical, and sensible. He didn't go into impugning anyone on either side but saw it in terms of economics and law — and by law, I mean the limits of law, where it should end and where social etiquette works.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Scroll to 8:24 for the relevant part.

ADDED: Trump seems to be letting his roots grow out. Can we expect to see him with a fully white head of hair by the time the election rolls around? The location of the white part now gives some clues as to the directionality of the combover. I hope he gets a haircut soon, leaving the whole crazy swirl shorter and removing all that's left of the orangosity.

Is there a contest going on to see how many people can start a post about this, because there seems to be one just about every 5 minutes.

I’m glad it’s fine with Trump that Bruce Jenner go to the bathroom with his granddaughters.

Personally, I would give Bruce a complimentary gender reassignment surgery if I caught him in the bathroom with my granddaughter. That goes for any other mentally deranged pervert.

Ann Althouse is not a doctrinaire leftist. She has been very critical of Obama on a range of issues, and I believe she said she voted for Romney in 2012.

Maybe Lyin Ted has an issue here, and now maybe he can take the nomination by focusing on...... BATHROOMS!

So your daughter, wife, niece or granddaughter should be exposed to full-grown men in the ladies’ room?

Law wasn't needed, because: "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble."

Laws to FORCE communities and businesses to operate this way are trending nationally. Creating state laws like NC's blocks that agenda. But we aren't supposed to notice what is going on.

Perverts in the bathrooms will help tear down America.

Destroying our values will help tear down America.

Sacrificing our children will help tear down America.

I really don’t get all the hooplah.

If somebody is in the bathroom doing f***ed up s***, then report them, call the police, beat ‘em the Hell up, whatever.

If somebody is in the bathroom minding their own business and relieving themselves or washing hands or otherwise freshening up, what’s the problem?

if you are a criminal doing criminal things in the bathroom, either one, you probably gonna run into trouble.

Gentle, now.... most Trump supporters are still in the shock and denial phase over him going hard-left with his transgender, tax-raising and abortion platform today on NBC. We need to be supportive as they snap out of their Trump Trance, one by one.

If he said no, you would be posting articles about how Trump won’t allow someone who endorsed Ted to use the bathrooms at Trump Tower

“...if I caught him in the bathroom with my granddaughter.”

Would you prefer that Jenner was in the bathroom with your grandson?

Maybe after Trump becomes the POTUS he can name Cruz the official Potty Room Czar....
