Excellent contribution to the discussion/debate. Glad you took the time to chime in with your wit and wisdom.

Appearance is relevant in that, all things being equal, you cannot tell the difference between a man and a man identifying as a woman. So by (what would have been) law, it would not have been uncommon to see someone who looked like a man in the women’s room - it doesn’t matter that they identify as a woman, you get…

I agree - none transgender. I’m talking about child predators taking advantage of the law created for transgender people. Never said, nor will I ever say transgender people are predators.

The law allowed people to use the restroom of the gender they identify with. Agreed - gender is not a choice but a state of mind, however the exterior doesn’t always match the interior. There’s no dress code, secret hand shake and nobody is checking IDs at the door (nor do I want any of that). Just mentioning that it…

None and none, as far as I can tell - nobody said transgender people were dangerous. Simply stating that the law was created for a transgender issue but could endanger children from predators (not transgender people).

1) Nobody said ‘pretending’. I’m simply stating that the law is so vague as to allow anyone to use any bathroom. All one would have to do is ‘identify’ as whatever gender at that moment and walk right in. I don’t know how you would ‘identify’ or who you would ‘identify’ to (nor do I care - not the point). I’m not…

Outstanding over-simplification. Question: Is a male predator easier to spot in a women’s bathroom or a women’s bathroom that allows men in? Safety is not a sign on the door, it’s situational awareness and the ability to notice if something is out of place.

Feel free to Google ‘child raped in Walmart bathroom’. Guess all those links/reports are just someone’s bizarre imagination.

You’re good - you figured out my point. ID checks at all bathrooms. (face palm - heavy sigh)

“...among other provisions allows transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify as.” And where exactly do you apply for your transgender ID? Point being, I can identify as male or female on any given day on a whim. This political football (or basketball in this case) has absolutely nothing to do…
