NEW YORK CITY, March 11, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) -- New York Mayor Bill de Blasio issued an executive order giving men the right to use women's bathrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa.
The mayor's edict is called, "Access to Single-Sex City Facilities Consistent With Gender Identity and Expression." It means that all New York City single-gender facilities must accommodate both sexes, including city buildings and offices, parks, children's playgrounds, swimming pools, and more, all access given without showing identification or any proof of gender.
Mayor de Blasio declared that transgenders using opposite sex bathrooms and locker rooms "is a fundamental human right that should not be restricted or denied to any individual."
Ironically, he added, "Every New Yorker should feel safe in our city." Critics question whether the mayor includes those who do not feel safe in public showers and toilets that the opposite sex may undress in and use, or if he only refers to making the gender confused feel more comfortable in their ailment.
“Mayor Bill de Blasio’s executive order suffers from three fatal flaws," Stephen P. Hayford, Communications Director for New York's Family Research Foundation, told LifeSiteNews. "First, like Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent transgender regulation, the Mayor’s order addresses an issue that should have been handled (if at all) through legislative action."
"Second, the Mayor’s order is based on the confused notion that a person’s gender is a legal construct ‘assigned at birth,’ rather than a biological reality," Hayford explained.
"Third, and most importantly, the Mayor’s order completely fails to take into account the negative impact that opposite-sex restroom and locker room use by ‘transgender’ individuals in City facilities would have upon other users of those facilities.”
Family Policy of Washington Executive Director Joseph Backholm was one of the critics questioning de Blasio, suggesting that transgender people aren't the only ones who need to feel safe and whose rights need to be protected.
"All have legal rights to privacy," Backholm said. "The problem is governments choosing one person's rights over everybody else."
"Everybody has an interest here, and we need to behave like adults and make sure that nobody gets to say my rights trump your rights because I say so," he said.
G-R-E-A-T. Now the men’s restroom lines will be out the door as women will get to use ‘em during overflow/etc. (doesn’t hurt they’re cleaner as well [used to clean ‘em both, in my youth]). /s (except the cleanliness).
They are serfs, not citizens.
Now even the woman's restroom will no longer be a safe place.
Dean Swift handled this sort of thinking in Gulliver's voyage to Laputa. But contemporary New Yorkers must be longing for a return to the relatively saner corruption in the days of Boss Tweed!
Can he be sued when the first rape happens?
What’s the problem?
If you just have to pee, use the sidewalk outside.
If you want to get raped, go inside; implied consent.
Lol ... it is a well know fact that the longest lines at any event, are outside the women’s bathroom.
Wouldn’t a man whipping it out in a female restroom be a microaggression? Or a macroaggression if he was Long Dong Silver.
This punctuates why we should all back Donald Trump. He is the one public figure who recognizes the fallacies involved.
Women will just stay home and refuse to go to the gym or to restaurants or any other public place with this stupid policy if they can avoid it. You can exercise at home, eat at home or at friends’ homes, swim at home if you have a pool, or at a friend’s pool, etc. Why, today, you can even educate your child at home if their school has this dumb ass policy.
I imagine a lot of places going out of business and even schools closing down.
Yes, and only go outside when accompanied by a male relative.
Why does this bother me...

In the meantime, the perv is humiliated, detained, identified, and "exposed" for the creep that he is. So if the goal here is to make him feel "safe," you've done anything but.
Meanwhile, if you're a guy with any guts, when you hear women screaming about a man in their bathroom, you can go in, bum rush the perv out of there, and detain him on the notion that the women were terrified of him assaulting them.
Then let the sick puke defend himself while a bunch of tearful women testify that they were scared out of their wits.
basis what LAW..???
or just a looney opinion expressed in an executive order...
have a man walk into a ladies rom behind his wife...and see what happens...
when Hillary takes a dump the secret service block off the facility so no one else can use it...
special ..... oh so special....
what about when she goes to fed prison...
how much foundation money will be transferred to the obama foundation before he leaves office...
FBI SHOIUD DRAG IT OUT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION....
WATCH FOR LORETTA LYNCH TO JUMP IN AND CALL OFF THE INVESTIGATION..
Now a guy and his girlfriend can both use the facilities and hold hands under the side walls. What a sick society this has become as “ANYTHING GOES”. What’s coming next?
No, unfortunately it’s not satire. It’s weirdness from the mayor’s own pumpkin head.
These people are mentally sick.
Good for you. Any man who is lying in wait to attack a woman in a restroom, once caught either before during or after the act, all he has to say is that he was there to use the restroom. Instant cover.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CREEPING SHARIA!!!!!!
All female must be escorted!!!!!!!
