Restroom choice for transgender people

Quote: Pacomartin

Who actually worries about who is in the stall next to you?

People who place more value on prejudice than on living.

Ted Cruz actually made a good point today.
He has two young daughters. He said do I
really want them to go into a public bathroom
where a child predator might be lurking in the
guise of a LGBT person? He's right.

We all know how sick these predators are,
they will jump at the chance to prey on kids
in women's bathrooms. It's a dream come
true for them.

Actually.... We don't know that.

You seem to know that. But you have your own set of facts that don't seem to apply to the actual world.

Mark my words: there will be more radical right wing James O'Keefe-types pretending to be transgender and going into the wrong bathroom to try to prove a point than there will be "predators."

You don't know that public toilets have
ALWAYS been the fave place of pervs
to hang out? How can you be an adult
and not know that. It's one of the reasons
a lot of the better restrooms have on duty
attendants. They keep it clean, but they
also get rid of the perverts.

I had a friend in Santa Barbara who managed
all the movie theaters in town. He hated the
Saturday matinees because it was all kids and
it brought out the lingering pervs. They would
wait for a kid to go into a stall, and go into
the next stall and peek over the top. Or look
over the top of a urinal. He said it was very hard
to catch them in the act and you had to continually
86 them when they came in.

Seriously, this is news to you. Amazing.

So it's always been a problem.

And transgender people are exacerbating it or something? I can't follow your logic from "pervs have always used bathrooms to do dirty stuff" to attempt to justify why all these Republican states suddenly need to pass anti-transgender legislation.

His facts seem to apply to the real world more than you and the others who support transvestites in the ladies room. You deny human nature to a fault. You want an open invitation to use whatever bathroom people "identify" as and don't realize what that will bring.

Maybe you should learn the difference between "transvestite" and "transsexual" before you attempt to speak intelligently on this issue.

In the old days, the job of working
undercover in the NYC restrooms
to arrest perverts was always given
to the rookie cops. As long as there
have been public bathrooms, there
have been sick people hanging around
them. How you do not know this is
right up there with you not knowing
who Drudge was.

My GOD! Because now, a pervert can PRETEND
to be LGBT (they look just like everybody else
you know) and lie his way into the little girls
room where he can get his jollies by peeking
over the stall or just listening to them go tinkle.
And it's perfectly legal for him to be there, he
needs no special ID or permission. He can sit
in a stall and jerk off for an hour with no fear
of being caught.

I know "transsexual" is a guy who has gone under the knife. Crazy, but the guy parts are gone. The LBGT movement is talking about "transgender" which is just a new term for transvestite. Just a guy in a dress acting as a woman.
