If it concerns sex in any way, you can be sure that our culture will fixate on it and manage to defy common sense with hyperventilating indignation. Same-sex marriage roiled the waters for decades, but now that the Supreme Court has big-footed that question, culture warriors are prowling for new realms of transgression to embrace. So, coming to a bathroom near you transgenderism.
Im just back from a weekend at Harvard University where unisex bathrooms are the norm. On behalf of womankind, I say: To the Bathroom Barricades!
Bathroom injustice has been a feature of the world for a very long time. Ask any woman. Most buildings feature equal-size bathrooms for the two sexes an automatic disadvantage for women who cannot use urinals (at least as of this writing). At every concert, stadium, lecture hall, or large meeting room, the line for the ladies room will usually curl out the door and around corners while the men breeze through their facility with assembly-line efficiency. The only building in Washington, D.C. I know of where this is not the case is Constitution Hall, built by and for the Daughters of the American Revolution. Constitution Hall has twice the number of womens bathrooms as mens. Revolutionary indeed.
Some opponents of permitting transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their subjective feelings rather than their biology point to the risk of sexual assault. That seems a negligible risk. Hard to imagine rapists donning skirts the better to grab women in a ladies room surrounded by female witnesses. But the trans-bathroom movement offends in other ways.
Gender-neutral bathrooms are nothing new. We use them on airplanes and trains all the time. At the risk of offending some men, there are two things that should be said about this.

OK, you’re on.
Post a link to what Cruz actually said about posting police at bathroom doors to check people’s sex organs.
Thanks.
No the issue was what Trump said and Cruz added to to fool people. Not what Cruz said since you know that already.
I hoped maybe you’d be able to challenge me with something factual. But no biggie. Don’t give it a second thought.
Factual is Cruz lied by adding to what Trump said.
No, let it go. Very few of us left who get scrupulous about facts anymore. Just post and have fun. I mean it.
