Next we’ll see initiatives to abolish male and female restrooms.

I was at the Washington National airport not too long ago and went in the ladies room. I could clearly see the large shoes in the first stall facing the toilet. I immediately left.
This is just wrong all around. Why don’t these lawmakers let men in the bathroom stalls with their granddaughters since they think it is ok for us.

While Navy, I saw the most beautiful women in Singapore, only to find they had a penis (they showed us as entertainment to the sailors). Ah, you must have been on Boogis (sp?) St.

Many asked ‘What next for the societal disrupters?’ during the peak of the gay marriage debate.
Now we know. But these sickos are finding sympathy a bit thin on the ground.

From my experience in law enforcement in the 50’s & 60’s it is the other way around. Males going to a public restroom, especially young men and boys, were often propositioned by homosexual men hanging around.

I can imagine an adult pedophile claiming they are a child in an adult body and that they have the right to assault children.

‘Family’ bathrooms are found in many places such as airports. I use them as often as possible. Clean, spacious and and the indispensable lock on the door means the freaks are elsewhere.

Of course.
Note the article’s slant: people protesting the encroachment of psychosis on their most private activities are ‘a problem.’

The survey, published in the Journal of Public Management and Social Policy, found that 70 percent of responders have been denied entrance, were harassed or assaulted when attempting to use a public restroom of their identifying gender.
See this is just bullshit. Identifying gender is what is between your legs. Not what is in your mind. Of course people are not going to allow a pervert to enter into a restroom where their children may be. Our society is very ill.

To: Salman
The survey concluded that cities should adopt laws that explicitly give transgender people legal protection in bathrooms.
Wow a law that pedophiles would just love! We have laws in place to protect children from abuse. This type law would destroy that.

I don't care what your psychological issues are. If you have a penis, use it in the restroom designated for those who have a penis. If you don't have a penis and need to sit down to urinate, go into the restroom intended for people who don't have a penis. But do not come into the restroom where we women congregate and try to use your penis in front of us, or yes, you will be harassed. No, we're not frightened by the sight of male organs; most of us have seen and handled them extensively. We simply do not want to have to cope with your psychosexual problems. If you are that troubled, we have the right to distance ourselves from you at a time when we are vulnerable.

Male people and female people are also harassed and assaulted in public restrooms.
Should we just not have restrooms then?

This transgender bullshit is the next line in the sand theyre going to push, and the assault is already well on its way. Amazing how we flit from grievance to grievance. I have seen more "news" on this topic in the past couple months than I had read or heard in all the rest of my long life.
To: Salman
I have 2 questions:
How many people were included in the survey?
How did the “harassers” know these people were transgendered? Seems to me that if they looked/dressed in a relatively believable manner, quietly went into a stall and did their business (facing the “expected” way), washed their hands and left, no one would even notice.
Seems there’s more to the story here.

We live in such an intolerant, uncaring society. Not only should transgenders be allowed in whatever restroom they desire, they should be hugged and kissed for their heroic act. (obvious uber-sarc)

So, here are the options:
Get help for the emotional/sexual dysfunction.
Pretend you’re normal when you go out - dress to match your body parts and use the washroom designated to your body parts.
Wear Depends.
Stay home.
To: Salman
The tyranny of the minority strikes again.
How about treating it for what it is, a mental illness, and stop this ridiculous PC nonsense.

And it's no surprise that these traumatic experiences affect the daily life of transgender people, the survey points out. More than half of respondents reported having physical problems, including dehydration or kidney infections, because they "held it" to avoid using public bathrooms. Oh, boo hoo.
This wouldn't happen if you used the bathroom appropriate to the sex which nature saw fit to assign to you.
I'm sorry, was that heartless and narrow minded?

So the degenerates enter an inappropriate restroom and some healthy people react appropriately and exclude them by force. In spite of my general despair as to the current state of the American soul occasionally healthy behavior still manifests itself.
