Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate, suggested in an interview Thursday that the U.S. should have bathrooms specifically for people who are transgender.
Carson was responding to questions about a recent ordinance in Houston that would have established nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people. Voters rejected the ordinance after an 18-month battle in which opponents argued that allowing transgender men and women to use their preferred public bathrooms would open the door to sexual predators who wanted to enter women's restrooms.
Carson's response: "How about we have a transgender bathroom?"
"It is not fair for them to make everybody else uncomfortable," he said. "It's one of the things that I don't particularly like about the [LGBT] movement. I think everybody has equal rights, but I'm not sure that anybody should have extra rights--extra rights when it comes to redefining everything for everybody else and imposing your view on everybody else."

Or stop segregating men and women into different crapper rooms.
Not a good answer, Dr. Carson. Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder.
I think he’s a “can’t we all just get along?” candidate.
Personally, I am not in the mood to get along.
Ben Carson: Create transgender bathrooms, and fill them with grain.
No business should have to install extra accommodations. Or tolerate customers with penises walking into the women's restroom or dressing room.
Okay. But who will pay the billions of dollars required to retrofit every publicly accessible building in the country?
The Carson/SDA food pyramid.
LOL
One toilet for transgender on the city plaza!
Won’t work. I was sued for this. I won’t tell you the War & Peace version, but the Readers Digest version I ended up with an employee who was an IT. Never did learn whether IT was a he or a she.
All my other employees were revolting. I built IT a separate facility, which hurt ITs feelings. Long story short, I settled with it and $40K later, IT was out the door. I’m sure it planned this all along.
I guess you need male, female, transgender male and transgender female.
>> Are we going to force public establishments to build out different bathrooms for every perversity known to mankind?
Yes. It’s like a little shrine to their specialness, bless their hearts.
We should have rows and rows of pervert potties in EVERY public place.
LORD JESUS, COME QUICKLY! Not that long ago we USED to understand that brokenness was brokenness — an illness to be healed, not a “quality” to be encouraged and admired!
WAKE UP AMERICA. Europe too.
“Give the mentally ill their own facilities”
Who is supposed to pay for all this giving?
This is gonna put a dent on his support.
Indeed, the 0 people I know for Carson will be further reduced... to 0.
Is Dr. Carson going to pay for these bathrooms?
>> Maybe he’s trying to take attention away from his “pyramid comments” by saying something even more stupid...
You know what, it’s kind of working. It’s got my attention, anyhow. The pyramid thing was harmless. This kind of nonsense is anything BUT harmless.
