Have three Restrooms, labeled:
MEN
WOMEN
?
legally yes.
Morally, complicated.
Congratulations on doing your part to make civil society less so.
Once your kids figure out that it's OK to mock one subset of society because they are different (and dad doesn't approve), they'll figure it's OK to mock any group that's different. Regardless of what dad thinks.
Good job.
And yet, racial discrimination is always the first analogy employed by courts that strike down gay marriage bans. Every such decision takes pains to point out that miscegenation statutes once forbade blacks from marrying whites and that the state can plead neither a compelling nor a rational reason for such a prohibition. In the courts' judgment a man who prefers to marry a man is no different from a black who prefers to marry a white.
But of course, there is a difference--a huge difference. Race is an artificial and largely arbitrary distinction based on passive superficial characteristics. Sex is a matter of fundamental difference: unlike females, males cannot become impregnated and give birth. Every healthy human being whose sensibilities haven't been seared over by liberal hubris and politically correct stupidity knows and instinctively understands this difference.
Even the liberal writer of this article knows and understands the difference. He's just unwilling to take the pro-gay rationale one logical step further and apply it to men's and women's restrooms. So, he uses a thousand words of tortured logic to carve out an exception.
Who are you calling "pissy", lisp boy?
No.
Next question.
Hmmm, "what matters is that has a prick".
Do you have a phobia pertaining to pricks?
What if the TG / Ts is "post-op"?
In many places outside John Kerry blue state urban areas, shame still has its place in enforcing the norms and that make for civilized society.
It is surprising though, what kind of comments you can get to something like that here.....
Yea, I do . . . I'm commonly afraid of myself in the bathroom.
My point is that he's a man (according to standard methods of determination) and therefore should use the "MEN'S" restroom.
I really can't make it any more simple than that.
I think there are some colleges already have those
"Such people are stupid if they gave you hell for that. There's no way I'd let a 7-year-old boy use any public restroom alone. You were right to take him into the women's restroom. Those who castigated you for it are just plain stupid"
They are worse than stupid. Letting a 7 year old boy use a men's public restroom alone is criminal, imo.
There was a little boy in Oklahoma City who's mother let him go into the restroom alone. A gang was in there, they removed his manhood as part of a gang initiation. I never let my son go to the restroom alone when he was small and it still scares me even though he's now 15. I tell him if there are a lot of odd acting people in there leave. Another incident happened in my town. A man came into a ladies restroom and raped a pregnant lady. I've also noticed in malls in Texas, ladies, mens and family restrooms. (Still trying to wake up by the way, sorry for the run on thoughts.)
kewel....heheheh
well, I did not mean to provoke a Monday morning piss fight here....
peace
Why does he/she want to use the ladies' room anyway? Aren't the lines shorter in the mens' room?
Not complicated, just wrong.
My daughter is 14 and I'm still reluctant to let her go into a restroom by herself. I can't be certain that some sicko isn't hiding in a stall waiting for a young girl to be alone in there. You're doing the right thing by taking your son with you.
Good for you! So do I! I used to be unaccepting but fairly tolerant. No more.
Soon there'll be a time when there's the man's restroom, the women's restroom, and a third one for the ones who are confused.
Well, I work at a University and there is a professor who used to be a man and is now a "woman." He/she has his/her own private restroom. I think that works. He already had tenure, so they couldn't easily get rid of him when he started dressing as a woman. Actually people say he's much nicer now as a she. Whatever. I know I would not be real happy to be in the women's room and see him/her walk in. It would make me very uncomfortable. I do have to interact with this person and I don't have a problem with that. But sharing a restroom?? Nope.
