Bend over. Be quiet. Take it like a man. So to speak.

I recommend the port-a-john solution. All restrooms will be outfitted with one throne, one sink, one mirror and a lock on the door. One occupant at a time, just like home.

This debate over bathroom access seems like a ridiculous one for this election cycle, and something which could end up hurting more than helping.

We need to frame the debate correctly. A small group of people who are uncomfortable being in bathroom and locker room contact with people of the same sex are demanding that the much larger group of people who are uncomfortable being in close bathroom and locker room contact with people of the opposite sex deal with their discomfort, rather than the tiny group dealing with theirs.

This is not about equality, it is about power expressed on behalf of the tiny minority to undermine the moral underpinnings of our society.

To those who advocate repealing the NC law, please explain why the "rights" on this tiny minority trump (no pun intended) the rights of the vast majority, including underage children who have always been afforded special protection under the law - until the "transgenders" decided to politically riot.

So what was the point of this then?

We have already included these separate male/female/family restrooms as a third option to the traditional male only, female only setup. Why is this not enough? If Bruce Jenner 'feels' uncomfortable going into the men's room, then he can go here.

I see the mentally ill transgenders being beaten up when they walk into a womens bathroom.

... and something which could end up hurting more than helping...yeah - until the first sensational rape maybe murder of a young girl by some psychopath who uses his suddenly-found passion for being a woman on a particular day as an excuse for getting himself into an otherwise deserted restroom somewhere - then see how quickly the hurt goes away.....
