As a precaution, Riki Dennis carries identification that identifies her as female.

"These kids are demanding the right to be who they are and what they are 24/7. They're tired of being harassed or hassled when they simply need to use a public facility."

Actually they are demanding the "right" to be who they are not, and to force everyone else to go along with that. If this person is genetically male and has a government-issued ID that states that he is female, there should be an appropriate prosecution.

If you have to have ID proving your a woman then something ain't right. Use the mens room.

"Whenever he is in an airport, Shana Agid, a 30-year-old transgender art student.."

Wonderful. Our tax dollars at work. Supporting grown people so they can make a carrer of studying art and buggering their own identity.

Transgenders are seriously mentally ill. Using surgery to turn yourself into something you are not, is a sick, sick thing.

Mentally ill people should not be allowed to sneak into public restrooms reserved for members of the opposite sex.

Your eyes say eyes, but your penis says no.

Hey you're right. But isn't that an insult to transsexuals?

NY Times reporters are being harassed in bathrooms because they are spouting left-wing philosophies, not because they are transsexual.

Why twist ourselves into knots to cater to 0.01% of the population? Folks should just use the bathroom and leave it at that. If some transgendered person wants to use the bathroom of the opposite gender, 99% of the time there will be no problem as long as they are discreet and don't bother anybody else. In one in a million cases, there may be a problem. But, really, how much are we going to invest in making sure that never happens?

As a society, we have long since past the point of seriousness when we start worrying about the bathroom habits of the transgendered.
