I have avoided this issue because I think that is a silly thing to worry about…..and second people are too f*cking stupid to make any sort of rational decision….they will base their decisions on emotional baggage they have been carrying around for years.
Even the hero of the Right….the mouth of Manhattan has weighed in on this (odd have not heard many of his supporters mention this anywhere….go figure)……
Donald Trump broke with many of his fellow Republicans on Thursday, saying transgender people should be able to “use the bathroom they feel is appropriate,” the New York Times reports. The Republican frontrunner was addressing North Carolina’s controversial—many would say discriminatory—”bathroom bill” during a town-hall event in New York. He said the state made a big mistake with its law, which has caused economic damage and was unnecessary in the first place. “You leave it the way it is,” he said. “There have been very few complaints the way it is.” He also said he’d be fine with Caitlyn Jenner using whichever restroom at Trump Tower made her comfortable.
All this concern about who uses what bathroom….first of all….how will you know who is using it?
If it is a woman dressed as a man she will use a stall….how will you find out. Burst into the stall?
If it is a man dressed as a women….she will use a stall (there are NO urinals in a ladies room)….you gonna burst into the stall and exclaim…Ah Ha!
Or maybe you would prefer a strip search before entering the washroom?
Like I said this is a silly issue for small minds. Me? I have better things to do than worry about who pees where.
Totally agree. Who GAS?
Exactly…but there seems to be some that cannot resist stupid…..
It appears the Transgender Minority (Only estimated to be less than Three Tenths of One Percent of the population) has now successfully won the right to urinate “Where” they please. My concern is that their next objective might be to win the right to urinate “On Whomever” they please. If it comes to that then I, for one, am going to become a lot more vocal.
Why is that important? Do you really care where they pee?
As long as it is not on me … No!
As a man, I was BORN with the right to pee wherever I please. I use that right almost daily….my back yard, back alleys, on election signs….wherever & whenever the mood strikes!
I also claim the right to urinate on whomever I please, even if they don’t consent…especially if they don’t consent! Although, I’ve only done that a couple of times. 🙂
TMI — LOL
LOL! Typical….. But, then, what else can be expected of people who believe there is some grizzled old fart sitting on a golden throne somewhere up in the sky, who has the power to create a Universe, but, takes the time to give a shit with whom they copulate?…. Piteously pathetic is the only phrase that comes to mind….
gigoid, the dubious
Is there a gene or something that makes rational people turn into d0-do brain individuals? chuq
If so, sadly, I think 97% or more of humanity is carrying it…. The only place I meet anyone with any sense these days is here on the Net…. The humans who think, I think, tend to avoid large crowds of the mundanes, thus making them hard to find out in the Big Blue Room…

Well said and I agree….I hate chit chat….my brain shuts down when I have to go out and about….I also like it on here….I meet great people…..chuq
This IDIOTIC non-issue has driven me nuts (Cue another lengthy Sedate Me rant nobody reads.)
This “problem” affects damn near nobody (other than scared shitless transsexuals). This is not even a real thing. Other than on Jerry Springer, just how many trannies are out there? And what percent of them don’t avoid using public bathrooms at all costs? Were probably talking about less than 0.005% of American bathroom visits a year. You got a better chance of being hit on in a bathroom by a deeply closeted Republican politician, especially at airports!
As has been clearly demonstrated, trying to do anything about this “vital national issue” is hugely counterproductive & self-defeating. Look how stupid & prejudiced entire States now appear just because their moron politicos suggested this. Have any of these fucktards ever even used a public bathroom???
Most people taking offence to this will probably never notice it, even if it happened right in front of them! These days, unless you “strip ’em & flip ’em”, you can’t be 100% sure what crotch equipment anyone is packing. So, unless you want to conduct strip-searches and/or birth certificates checks at the door of every bathroom, these laws are as ineffective as making it illegal for shape-shifting aliens to use public bathrooms.
But the “solution” these laws promise are actually WORSE than the “problem”.
“Problem”: Somebody who looks like a girl goes into the Ladies Room, enters a stall, closes the door, does her business, hopefully washes her hands, and leaves. Oh, turns out it was actually somebody with a penis. The toilet is deeply offended at having to flush a born-a-man’s business. But nobody else noticed.
“Solution” Somebody who looks like a girl goes into the Men’s Room. If it’s a single’s bar/nightclub, most guys will ensure their package is either shielded by the “privacy screen” (we need more of those!) or at least not “shrunken by the cold”. Assuming that, it’s all smiles & pleasantries. I’ve been there a dozen times. Unless some asshole strips her and discovers a penis, NOBODY gets more offended than if the somebody was actually born a girl. If anything, it makes returning “rented beer” more interesting.
But if it’s a school, or restaurant, bathroom? That dude-looks-like-a-lady is confronted immediately, possibly degenerating into some kinda Springer episode!
“Problem” Somebody who looks like a man goes into a stall in the Men’s Room, closes the door, “pees like a girl” and leaves with her “manhood” somewhat intact.
“Solution” Somebody who looks like a dude goes into a Ladies Room and is accosted by an angry woman who calls the cops.
a) After a strip search & birth certificate check, it’s determined the “man” was born without a penis and is EXACTLY where the law says “he” is supposed to be.
b) After a strip search, it’s determined the “man” just looks “man-ish” and was actually born a woman…a very litigious woman whose lawsuit bankrupts the city/school/restaurant/etc.
And the “solution” gets even more ridiculous if the law applies to post-operative transsexuals. “Carpet matches the drapes”, so to speak. Even strip-searches would be useless.
As it stands without a law… Unless somebody is invading somebody’s privacy, or acting in a way that’s ALREADY considered inappropriate, if not illegal….this just ain’t gonna get noticed!
They read some are afraid of the consequences….LOL
This whole issue is just too moronic for words most of the time….who cares where someone pees?
Exactly. What kind of pervert goes into ANY washroom and checks out the package of the person next to them? THOSE are the perverts, not the person whose junk is being looked at. These laws normalize the real “pervs”!
This “controversy” will probably start a wave of paranoid/phobic/curious people checking out everybody’s package while in the washroom! That alone could cause FAR more trouble than the occasional person having the “wrong equipment” hidden underneath.
As detailed above, this is one where their own laws will only make this “problem” MORE noticeable and MORE uncomfortable for themselves. All those otherwise invisible transsexuals will suddenly become very visible.
Me? I’d probably be fine with the “Unisex bathroom”, as seen on the show, Alley McBeal I can see how cost & space conscious corporations/offices would LOVE the idea. Fewer rooms, fewer fixtures, etc. I used to work in a virtually all-female office, but they legally had to have a fully stocked Mens Room of the same size on every floor. As the only male on my floor, it was my own personal hideaway!
Like I said….who the Hell cares? small pathetic minds…that is who.
Hahaha…….
I shared a ladies toilet a few years ago with a trans/gender…
He/she woz a lot prettier than me!
We had a chat….
and then both departed…… on our separate ways…..
😉
I care where someone pees when it is my front yard….back yard is ok!
Unisex BATHROOMS all around! If needed maybe we can restart bathroom attendants, don’t know who will pay ’em but I’d tip. dru
But to find out one needs to be a peeping tom, so to speak….who gets that job? LOL chuq
