The matter as I see it is that having an unenforceable law encourages lawlessness. Its a corollary of the broken window theory.
If you mandate that people who are in a ladies bathroom must have a birth certificate that says male must we all have them on our persons or suffer inspection? If not than you have a law that is subject to abuse and arbitrary application. I do not want the threat of an inspection hanging over me. I cut down my air travel for just that reason.
There are already homosexuals using the same bathrooms as the heterosexual same sex cohort. There have been few incidents and those have been prosecuted as crimes. The laws exist to punish criminal behavior. There have undoubtedly been transvestites in bathrooms of the sex they appear for years as well, without incident.
I don’t believe that heterosexuals or transvestites are criminal by nature although there are criminals among their number as among the heterosexual group. I would favor targeting the criminal aspect rather than the genitalia.
The problem in my mind is the children at school who are forced to have individuals who they have known as the opposite sex suddenly appearing in their changing rooms and bathrooms. While I have compassion for the intersex child I have compassion for the other children as well.
The situation is awkward in any case and should be handled by the school & parents on individual basis without the intrusion of the State employees who have anti discrimination agendas. We are not allowing the local people the freedom to serve the children’s interests. The ability to sue to bring your same sex partner to the prom and to compete against opposite sex athletes is PC gone amuck.
People who are comfortable with societies norms are being targeted and attacked by people with an agenda. To me that is the real issue and a bathroom law just muddies the waters. The initial law would have backfired and the legislators would have been out of office. The American people are speaking out and the pendulum will swing.
“There are already homosexuals using the same bathrooms as the heterosexual same sex cohort. There have been few incidents and those have been prosecuted as crimes.

If a woman comes up to a business owner, and complains about a man using the bathroom, the business owner should be able to make a business decision about who uses their women’s bathroom, right? I mean is the business owner supposed to tell her she is nuts for caring about it and she should just feel comfortable with a guy in the next stall?

Men who claim to be women are not lesbians. Men and women have different sexual attractions. Lesbians don’t have things like glory holes or wide stances or hang out in public parks at 3 in the morning for free anonymous guaranteed sex. Gay men do all those things, and it’s bad enough normal men have to deal with this nonsense in their bathrooms. But at least they are other men. Letting men who may or may not still be attracted to women in the women’s bathroom under the pretext that they will claim to be a woman is not a good idea culturally.
And yes, I feel bad for the actual folks who have this particular sickness, and doubt that real problems would come from those who take real pains to seem legit about it. Hopefully the legit ones can keep on going like they are as far as facilities go. But like I said, I am not going to tell a woman she is nuts for being uncomfortable about it. That’s nuts too, in my opinion.
