And so the reverse would also be true, i.e., women in men's? OK, Bd of Supervisors: You all go first.

Bending Gender: California's new definition of gender invades private religious schools

"... Golden State girls aren't necessarily girls anymore, nor men men, since the State Board of Education (SBOE) shoehorned into California's legal code a new definition of gender. According to Title 5 of the state code, "gender" no longer means male or female, but instead "a person's actual sex or perceived sex and includes a person's perceived identity, appearance, or behavior, whether or not that identity, appearance, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth."

As of June 2000, at least 18 jurisdictions-including Atlanta, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Mich., New Orleans, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and the states of Minnesota and Missouri-had legally enshrined self-determined gender in their nondiscrimination codes using language similar to California's new definition. In all those locales, a person's gender is what he or she says it is, regardless of biology. And employers, including schools, may not take punitive action if, for example, a man wears a dress to work..."

I always suspected that women had better, cleaner bathrooms than men. I guess they just don't want our rotten selves to stink up their bathrooms. I just think that fairness requires them to demand that our bathroom be upgraded to the same standards as theirs.

"People, when needing to use public restrooms (especially at sporting events) will determine their "gender identity" based upon which restroom has the shorter line."

Since the mens room always has the shorter line and women regularly use the mens room already at sporting events and concerts whats the big deal? Men aren't going to start using the ladies restroom.

The actual results of this will be worse.

A club near where I live has uni sex bathrooms and it sucks because the stalls (w/floor to ceiling doors and walls) are occupied by women all the time. No urinals. No longer just going into the restroom and peeing like before, now men have to wait in line just like the women.

Thats where this is leading, although peeing all over the toilet seats will probably change their minds eventually. hehe.

Actually, female hormones and testosterone-blockers kill the male sex-drive and shrivel/shrink ‘it’ to a quarter of ‘it’ original, pre-testosterone-blocker, size.

speaking from personal experience?

All Public Bathrooms are pretty nasty IMHO... I will wait if I can frankly I would rather use the side road field....

Go to both the owner and manager of any store or restaurant with unisex restrooms and say you will never do business there again because of their lurid policy. Say you will tell all your friends and family and neighbors to withhold their business, too.

Two days later, send someone in to tell the owner and manager that they were told of the unisex bathroom, but couldn't believe the store/restaurant could be so stupid, and now that they've seen for themselves, they're never returning and taking with them any and all friends, family and neighbors.

And so on...

No, from knowledge in books and on the web.
