“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.”
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.

I think you may not be understanding that I agree with you. I just don’t think the law under discussion will fix the issue. I want the Government out of the bathrooms and for the bathrooms to be safe and comfortable for all which may limits the ability of the few to use communal ones. I signed the Target petition. That is how I think things will be fixed by individuals speaking up and Government being told to but out. The ordinance passed is out of line and should be protested.
