The positive side here is that I expect to make a fortune with my new armored restroom stall with integrated birth certificate reader. I'll sort you bitches and make bank doing it.

Ooh, you should integrate my quarter fed toilet paper dispenser into your design!

Question: with transgendered allowed to use whatever bathroom they personally choose, how does one stop the pervert non-transgendered men from hanging out in the women's restroom?

But, no, that could never be the issue, it must be solely bigot conservatives oppressing gays! And oh how I hate them so damn much! I'm angry!

What are they going to get out of it, some really juicy girl gossip at the sink or looking at some nice ankles under the stall doors? You do know that women don't use big long urinals where one could just casually walk up and look sideways and see some vagina right?

Frankly, I'd rather not have to explain to my young child why the lady in a dress and looks very much like a woman is using the mens bathroom. A woman who looks very much like a man but uses the stall would maybe get a cursory glance but no real explanation needed.

Locker rooms are something different altogether.

School bathrooms, kids... use whatever bathroom as the gender you were born.

Adults- I couldn't care less where someone feels the burning desire to relieve nature's call.

Ladies.. feel free to use the guys room.

Guys.. feel free to wait in line for the ladies room.

It seems like there is a difference between ones chosen identity and their legal identity. As an example, I assume that after a sex change you would have to change your drivers licence or ID card. Information attached to your SSN would need to be updated as well. Wouldn't that be the deciding factor in what bathroom one uses?

This entire thread should be moved over to the Kingdom of Crap, those fellows understand all the varied nuances of shitting.

Are you suggesting that there should be an ID check before one can use public changing rooms/toilets? :p

God no as women's bathrooms are disgusting and the last thing I want is them to do it to the men's.

Surely the law should evaluate such circumstances based on the suspect's behaviour, it's as simple as that?

Example: If a guy goes into a guy's locker room, starts ogling everyone, makes a show of himself in some graphic way and generally making people uncomfortable. Same applies to a woman going into a woman's locker room and acting the same way, or guy into female room or vice versa.

so i guess a man standing naked in a womens locker room is ok just as long as he isnt doing something graphic? you cant be serious. do you know how jeeved out most women will be to see a man walking around naked in her locker room?

do you know how fucking stupid you sound?

You are kidding, right?

Whether or not certain people are allowed to be in gender-designated facilities has nothing to do with the level of security of those facilities. Perceived security, perhaps.
Christ, talk about a bogey-man scenario...

Mine was a perfectly reasonable solution but there's NO WAY you're going to let an anti-progressive have a 'good idea' so you had to find something, something to attack it on. You ranted about the 'security' angle first (despite the fact the only reason I barely mentioned it in passing at all in response to others' reasonable concerns regarding it.) Sure, not a lot of people are attacked in bathrooms but it happens once in a while so people are aware and cautious of it. Sensible. My idea (not an original one either since many places already exist with just 1 or 2 simple bathrooms) eliminates that concern. You look in, see it's empty, close the door and lock it. Done.
YOUR angle of allowing anyone who *says* they identify as *whatever* that day should use whatever gendered bathroom they want, strike up conversations with anyone inside and those people should be forced to smile and say how brave that person is for using a bathroom they don't blend in with. Yaaaaaaay progressivism! :wub:
That's just not how the world works and you're not "good" for forcing everyone in the world to change to your 'new' progressive views - it makes you the fascist.

The other angle about it being an expensive nightmare of plumbing and space? Tough luck. You wanted equal bathrooms for all? You got it! Mine is the simplest, easiest method and doesn't require the bloody bathroom security guard you suggested. (And the cost of plumbing won't be that much more expensive than the row of toilets and sinks that already exists, you just have a simple wall between each. Plus, it's still cheaper than paying a salary to even a cheap security guard!)

Taking up more space? Yes it does, but it's that or force everyone to use a communal high-traffic bathroom (which progressives want, but the general public does NOT.) The public has already made outcries that it very much rejects the idea of large public men+women+whatever washrooms all together.

So... tell us all... why do you WANT this so badly?

No, just your "guess" is what's sounding stupid. How you came to that conclusion might be a topic of speculation, but I doubt it.

Mine was a perfectly reasonable solution but there's NO WAY you're going to let an anti-progressive have a 'good idea' so you had to find something, something to attack it on.

Everyone, look out, Blue_Max is under attack again. For someone who doesn't like people playing the victim card, you sure do it on a regular basis.

That's just not how the world works and you're not "good" for forcing everyone in the world to change to your 'new' progressive views - it makes you the fascist.

Can you skip the name-calling please? Unless you'd actually like to come up with some basis for your assertion that I've forced anyone to do anything.

and doesn't require the bloody bathroom security guard you suggested.

That wasn't a serious suggestion, hence the type of smiley.

So... tell us all... why do you WANT this so badly?

Having a grasp of the basic topic in hand is normally considered to be a prerequisite of reasonable discourse, you might want to try it sometime.

The public cannot have gender equality, and/or accommodations for transgenders without first dropping their puritanical religious nuttery over segregated genders.

even the ADA says its a disability. :D:D:D

ADA doesn't include sexual orientation. I was giving an example of where society expressly caters to the disabled, using his own logic, we would need to cater to them. :thumbsup:

FWIW, I do not believe sexual orientation to be a disability or mental defect.

You'd probably want to replace "gender" with "sex." Gender is a role, while sex is a biological feature. Depending if you are a nature or nurture believer, the gender that a person is born as may be different than their biological sex. Such as a boy born with feminine inclinations.

No more than there is now. As with most laws, the point is prosecution after the fact rather than prevention.

The issue we're discussing is the acceptance of deviant behavior, and the problems involved with forcing the vast majority into accepting and conforming with that behavior. It will end up being law, under threat of prosecution, so it seems we should seek an answer that's enforceable.

The notion that the two are different is ridiculous. Gender is innate and biological. You can't be any different than your sex any more than a human can be a turnip. David Reimer proved that long ago.

Think about the fact that any parent could accompany any of their children into a unisex bathroom, regardless of sex or gender. That sounds like a security enhancement to me.

Not surprisingly, it is you who is ridiculous.

I've been to several Buccs games in the pass the guys would be hitting the urinals and a Lady would walk in and hit a stall rather than wait in line.

It didn't bother anyone.

But it is a bit of a different situation.

You have a case, clear as day, where a boy was raised as a girl and completely fucked him up.


Gender is not a social construct. And pretending it is does nothing more than fuck up more people.

We treat an exceedingly small amount of people as heroes, and as "normal" and all you are doing is setting more up to fail.

You should google 'gender vs sex' before you look any stupider.

You should google 'gender vs sex' before you look any stupider.

And you should google nature vs nurture before you look any stupider. This bullshit is nothing more than a bunch of bunk created by ultra liberal psychologists and feminists. If it were classified and treated correctly you'd find a minor portion of the population with some abnormal psychology, no different than any other psychological condition. Except society has decided to create heroes and perpetuate insanity rather than deal with it normally.

The semantical differential between sex and gender was created to solve a problem that doesn't exist except in the minds of warped 3rd wave feminists, the same ones who created such idiotic terms as "cisgendered" and other such trash.

If it was as simple as you claim David Reimer would have been just fine as a female and John's Hopkins would still be cutting off dicks every day.

You can't make a hot dog a taco no matter how hard you try and you can't make a male a female no matter how many synthetic drugs you pump into them. You can slap fake tits on but that doesn't make them a female, it makes them a male with fake tits.

The only way you can change your gender or sex is to change your chromosomal structure and reconstitute the human body from the molecular level up.

You could have simply thanked me for my suggestion instead of raging like an idiot more. Gender and sex are different things. That's why they are different words, genius.
