It’s easier to eliminate the problem, rather then try to come up with a solution.

Especially since so many "solutions" turn into rats nests of epic proportions - to be built upon by even more "solutions"...

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:

I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then it is my personal view that you are a Left Wing plant.

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

Well there Ya go. Switch door signs. The private dressing area now becomes the girl’s locker room and the private dressing area is designated for those with female genitals who feel “ unsafe” in the girls locker room.

” unsafe” being the new buzzword

Entertaining any of this in any remotely serious way is itself giving away the side.

By fighting that ruling, District 211 risks losing federal funding -- last year, it amounted to about $6 million -- and running up a big legal bill.

We've been hijacked from reality by the Feds and the worse thing is we've paid them to hijack us. At its very deep core, this is a form of contempt for the people by the Feds. They know the ruling is absurd, but they know their power is supreme. Some people, given power, like nothing more than to humiliate those under them because they themselves are insecure in their power.

“Back in my day there were no such thing as “transgender” at least not openly, if so they would have been called queers.”

[LOL] Evidently you led a very sheltered life. For the sake of historical accuracy, see some of these sources describing some of the historical figures stretching back into ancient times. Note how they include soldiers, diplomats, royalty, major political figures in their public duties, artists, writers, and more. Note, these sources barely scratch the surface of the famous and infamous, and they do not even touch upon the multitude of lesser known people through history. Be sure to watch the WWII movie at the end of the list.

Portrait mistaken for 18th-century lady is early painting of transvestite
http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/jun/06/portrait-18th-century-early-transvestite

Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon
Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon (28 November 1661 – 31 March 1723), styled Viscount Cornbury between 1674 and 1709, was Governor of New York and New Jersey between 1701 and 1708, and is reputed to have had a predeliction for cross-dressing while in Crown office.

The purported portrait of Lord Cornbury from the New York Historical Society

Viscount Cornbury came to be fabled in historical literature as a moral profligate, sunk in corruption: possibly the worst governor Britain ever appointed to an American colony.[1] The early accounts claim he took bribes and plundered the public treasury. Nineteenth century historian George Bancroft said that Cornbury illustrated the worst form of the English aristocracy’s “arrogance, joined to intellectual imbecility”. Later historians characterise him as a “degenerate and pervert who is said to have spent half of his time dressed in women’s clothes”, a “fop and a wastrel”. He is said to have delivered a “flowery panegyric on his wife’s ears” after which he invited every gentleman present to feel precisely how shell-like they were; to have misappropriated £1,500 meant for the defence of New York Harbor, and, scandalously, to have dressed in women’s clothing and lurked “behind trees to pounce, shrieking with laughter, on his victims”.[2]

Cornbury is reported to have opened the 1702 New York Assembly clad in a hooped gown and an elaborate headdress and carrying a fan, imitative of the style of Queen Anne. When his choice of clothing was questioned, he replied, “You are all very stupid people not to see the propriety of it all. In this place and occasion, I represent a woman (The Queen), and in all respects I ought to represent her as faithfully as I can.” It is also said that in August 1707, when his wife Lady Cornbury died, His High Mightiness (as he preferred to be called) attended the funeral dressed as a woman. It was shortly after this that mounting complaints from colonists prompted The Queen to remove Cornbury from office.[3]

In 2000 Patricia U. Bonomi re-examined these assertions and found them to be questionable and based on very little evidence. Three colonials, all members of a faction opposed to Cornbury, wrote four letters between 1707 and 1709 discussing a rumour that Lord Cornbury wore women’s clothes. There are also some early documents that might be cited to support charges of having taken bribes or misappropriated government funds, but there the contemporary evidence ends.[4]

A portrait possibly of Lord Cornbury dressed in women’s clothes which hangs at the New York Historical Society. Philip Davenport-Hines, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, thinks the portrait accurately depicts Cornbury and pronounced Bonomi’s findings inconclusive.[5]

“I guess the girls will have to dress and relieve themselves outside where they can have some privacy.”

Talk about privacy, I remember walking into a very large public men’s room in Paris, France some 40 years ago. After walking around the partition and seeing the room, I stopped. Along the left wall about 25 feet long was a pipe which was slowly dribbling sheets of water down the wall and into a gutter at the bottom of the wall to serve as one wall length urinal. Along the right wall were many toilets and bidets, and they did not have any partitions whatsoever for privacy. If you used the toilet or bidet, you had to haul your britches down and display your butt cheeks for everyone in the room to see. Everyone included the charwoman who moved around the men’s room all day long, all nightlong, every day of the week with a mop and bucket. So much for privacy in Paris....

By their equipment shall ye know them.

If they’ve got the original equipment, they go to the original destination. If they’ve had a chopitoffame or an addadicktome, they go to the other.

I wonder if they have an exchange to trade for body part transplants?

If an 18 y.o high school senior is caught with a picture of his 16 y.o. high school junior girlfriend on his cellphone that is an actionable criminal offense.

How is this not 1000 times worse? Liberal logic boggles the mind!

Interesting takeaway:

So kids in school today don't take group showers after gym class or practice anymore?

That's definitely a change from my school days.
