Transgender people said Thursday they fear a South Carolina bill that would require them to use the public bathroom for their biological sex will stoke misguided fears and endorse restroom vigilantism, even if the bill ultimately dies as expected.
Opponents told a Senate panel the unenforceable measure perpetuates myths against an already-ostracized community, while supporters contend its about protecting the privacy and safety of women and children. [ ]
No vote was taken during the panels second and final hearing. Its not yet clear whether the full committee will consider the measure. But even if it manages to advance to the Senate floor, Sen. Joel Lourie, D-Columbia, promises to use Senate rules to block debate. House GOP leaders say their chamber wont deal with the issue before session ends in June anyway. And opponents include Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, who has repeatedly called it unnecessary.

I am 55 and still never met a tranny. What’s all the commotion about?
Only that limp-wristed POS in the White House could create such a commotion.
Men don’t care if women see them peeing?
“restroom vigilantism”
Now you’re a vigilante if you want men to use the men’s room and women to use the women’s room.
How quickly culture can change!
Are there sane places we can escape to? Does Russia or China put up with this crap?
The election of the sodomite in chief is the reason all this immoral garbage is happening. He’s not only a sodomite he’s a Christian-hating bigot of the first degree. Never forget that one of the goals of the Communist Manifesto is to make sodomy completely accepted in all walks of society.
Neither Russia nor China seem to cotton to this.
Which is good. At the current rate this nation is descending into this depraved sewer of perversion, we might need them in the future to invade us and liberate us from this madness.
The Muslims may beat them to it.
Unless they are ashamed of their manhood, not usually.
the idea of claiming political asylum from this madness has crossed my mind more than once
There are what, 20 really transgender people in the state? The rest are probably simply voyeurs.
Have a question. How many Transgenders are out there anyway causing all this fuss? Always thought it was about gay men wearing dresses. Or are women dressing up now as men and using urinals? It’s beyond stupid that this is even a conversation, let alone making laws about who is what and where to go. Men traditionally are the predators of little girls and whether gay or otherwise should never ne allowed in women’s restrooms.
The solution is to add a third restroom everywhere: MEN...WOMEN and...WHATEVER.
Some idiot writing for townhall.com wrote, “Newsflash! You’ve ALL been to the rest room with a transgendered individual already!” I *seriously* doubt that. They ain’t that common.
And tax Whatever accordingly.
I frequently go into the men’s restroom to assist my disabled husband. I won’t go in if there’s already someone in there, but once I’m in there, it’s not unusual for a man to come in, see me in there, and proceed to use the urinal. As soon as they come in, I always announce myself, and tell them I’m just helping my husband, and I’ll be gone in a minute. They can’t miss seeing the wheelchair. Before the door closes behind them, they know there’s a woman in there, who is aware of their presence, and who will be gone in just a minute. They don’t care. They belly up to the urinal. A couple times they’ve seen me and retreated, but that’s rare. In my experience, most men don’t care.
