I dislike Cruz a lot. I was a solid Trump fan. But this is an issue.
I guess its easier when your little grand daughters live a life where they will never use a public restroom in a park, or at a beach, and likely have security. But for us rubes, it can be different.
Rationally, though, your daughters would always be under threat, whether it's bull-dykes, or people who intend to break the law by raping your daughter not caring about a law that would keep them out of the bathroom.
You really shouldn't be leaving your kids unattended in the first place.
A friend of mine had this to say about this subject. I think they deserve a hearing:
“Are we seriously going to make transgender bathrooms a bedrock Republican issue in a campaign for the one political office that can do nothing about it — the POTUS? Are not our hands already filled to the brim with abortion and same-sex marriage?”
And also this:
“For decades social “conservatives” have co-opted the Republican Political Platform—adding conditions and positions that simply do not have anything to do with the Constitutional powers of the Office of the President of the United States.
The President cannot outlaw abortion, the President cannot outlaw same-sex marriage, and the President cannot decree toilet etiquette.
If unhappy and fearful, social conservatives should be applying pressure locally—as our Founders envisioned-—at the municipal, city, county and state levels. These are the levels of government that most directly and immediately impact daily lives and communities. Why is it that social conservatives instead choose to pop up and make themselves a national wedge issue over and over and over and over again—snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?
Social conservatives have taken the political debate for POTUS from the altar, to the bedroom, to the clinic and now to the toilet. Why do this — for what rational political goal?”
