terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11807 | Surprised this is an issue Was watching a conservative on TV defending his bill for not giving trans gender people a choice His view is he is protecting children from visuals in the bathroom ?????????? Huh protect from what? I've used public rest rooms my whole life and not once have I seen anybody's private parts. I go in a private stall, do my business, leave the private stall to wash my hands. A public rest room does not mean people are flashing lol There is privacy due to stalls I even do number 1 in a stall for privacy Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

What if I have had compelte gender reassignment? What if my birth gender was female, but my biological sex is female? 'Hold it till you get home'. I love compassionate conservatism.... That anyone gives a shit about this shows what a sad state society has to come out of. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Totally agree I could care less who is in the stall next to me Male, female, transgender, martian , who cares. Regardless who is in a stall next to me, it in no way prevents me from doing my business Just so weird that conservatives are so nosy to the point they want to know about the private parts of the person in the next stall before deciding if its all right for that person to do their business in that stall. Mind your own business in your own stall. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I think your position would be much stronger by advocating that restrooms be gender neutral. I would have no problem with that but as long as the restrooms are designated by gender I think it is appropriate to follow that. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I am not familiar with complete gender reassignment but doubt that it is even possible. I would assume that you would have to modify all of the sex chromosomes in the body. I will have to read up on that to see if it is possible or has ever been attempted. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Do you know what your chromosomes are? Do you even know what chromosomes are? A rather large number of typical, cisgender women have an XY genotype in the last chromosome pair, but either lack the SRY gene in the Y chromosome, or have a different genetic condition which produces androgen insensitivity (and there are various means for that). You'd define gender by microscopic structures secured in the middle of all cells? Do your liver cells define your gender? Your heart cells? Your lower bowel cells? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I've actually used a rest room that had both males and females using it. It was the closest to the theater. Strange experience ... I guess actors and artists just don't care much. I think the LA sheriff's rule should apply. If there is a penis, ... mens jail. If there is not, women's jail. Same thing with bathrooms. |

Well, at least you're okay with men dressed like women at the urinals with you. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
