Citizens of Montgomery County, Md., have launched a petition drive against a law they say essentially would allow people to choose their gender when using public facilities.
"This is a bad law all around and should be repealed," said Michelle Turner, a spokeswoman for the new group planning to operate under the name Maryland Citizens for Responsible Government.
Its website, Not My Shower, already has been launched.
The new statute was first given the green light by elected officials in Montgomery County and now has been signed into law by County Executive Ike Leggett.
"By the stroke of a very powerful pen, County Executive Leggett has broken the biological barriers that separate male and female facilities," the group announcement said. "No longer will women and girls be able to feel completely safe in the most private and personal bathroom and locker facilities of schools, public pools, malls, stores, health clubs, restaurants and other such public places throughout the county."
The organization said Leggett's signature on Bill 23-07 means even religious schools could be forced to hire transgender teachers "and then also allow cross-dressing but biological males in your daughters' school locker room."
Patrick Lacefield, the county's communications director, told WND that it's a free country, and "if people want to try to gather signatures, to put a measure that's been signed, passed unanimously by the council and signed into law by the executive, that's their right."

Who benefits from such ridiculous legislation? Is there really a large constituency demanding to use the toilets in the “other guy’s” bathroom? Or is this just top-down marxism aimed at destroying the status quo?
How’d you like to end up in the shower stall next to Helen Thomas?
The destruction of America and the status quo is the goal.
All that was must be trashed.
I left Helen Thomas in the toilet this morning.
SHRINKAGE!
“Who benefits from such ridiculous legislation? Is there really a large constituency demanding to use the toilets in the “other guy’s” bathroom? Or is this just top-down marxism aimed at destroying the status quo?”
BINGO
This statement is very telling - “if people want to try to gather signatures, to put a measure that’s been signed, passed unanimously by the council and signed into law by the executive, that’s their right.” -
Meaning how dare the little people question their betters.
San FranSicko has nothing on Montgomery County MD. i.e. Berkely East.
Exactly...the arrogance of the 100% Rat Montgomery County commissioners and Ike Leggett is just astounding.
BUT, the good people of Montgomery County did just elect all of them to their exalted offices, and now this is what the local citizenry are reaping for their votes.
Soap-on-a-rope futures dropped sharply on the news.
Montgomery County is completely insane.
More Montgomery madness.
Signing petitions isn't quite the way to deal with these perverts ~ maybe there are some criminal statutes someone should trot out.
Does she, herself, watch ~ (with an open or closed mouth).
Sounds to me like the boys in the high school junior class are making the rules in Montgomery County...!!Heh Heh!!
