Careful What You Ask for Seattle (No Good Deed Goes Unpunished)

[iceman]

...or just take the signs off the doors and let whoever wants to use it do so

[mtngirl79]

Someone that makes you uncomfortable is using the bathroom or lockerroom... wait til they are gone? If they are just sitting there staring at people alert management?

You all know how easy/cheap/small video surveillance is these days, right?

[DJSapp]

mtngirl, you're out of your element. Cameras in changing rooms and toilets? FFS.

The whole reason for separating anatomical genders in restrooms/changing facilities is to prevent sexual assault/violence/pedophilia. Sorry if that doesn't work with the whole LGBTQADIRLBNBTSPWEDFDS agenda. It's the needs of the many vs. the few. As for schools, private facilities without supervision = sex, drugs and alcohol hideout, or just a plain old rape cave. AWESOME IDEA. Curtains is probably the closest thing to a real solution.

I'm with 2funky, first 'guy' that follows my 6 year old daughter into the locker room is gonna get his skull pounded by papa.

So someone is going to go into a woman's rest room and sexually assult her that wouldn't have otherwise now that transgender ed people can go in?

If that's someone's intention the law makes no difference. It's easy enough to dress up as a woman if that's what you want to do.

The guy in Seattle was being a dumbass.

A changing room/bathroom either has lots of other people in it or it doesnt. If it's secluded what's the law matter? Creeps will be creeps.

Beef curtains. Fashioned from a former scrotum.

[mtngirl79]

A real transgender person will be discreet and not wave a penis around..

Oh and I HAVE been sexually assulted. A woman is NEVER completely safe. That's what I learned. Solve that by ending our rape culture...

I'm not sure I buy this. There are plenty of sexual predators that don't really care about the sex of their victim or prey on same sex victims.

[BmillsSkier]

Can we get Parvo to chime in? How were things handled upstairs?

[Art Shirk]

This thread is going to go the distance, its got all the right ingredients.

[PNWbrit]

or prey on same sex victims.

Or pray.

[Dhelihiker]

I go to a hot spring with a coed bathroom/ changing room. Men and women, both naked, no one cares. I think its a cultural thing but really it makes no difference. Why does it matter?

[mtngirl79]

Because most americans cannot separate nudity and pornography...

Three things come to my mind from reading the article:

1. I feel, based on what I know about people who identify with the gender not of their birth that If he truly identified as female he would at the very least dress the part and wear a woman's bathing suit (article said he had board shorts on)

2. An adult male in a locker room with adolescent girls is vastly different from adult woman and building on that,

3. The concern is IMO less about nudity of the male and more about nudity of the adolescent girls should his intentions be less than honest with regard to his "gender identification" IYKWIM

Fer Fucks sake, this is an easy fix. If you have a dick, use the men's, a vagina, use the women's.

Add " or a note from your doctor" and you have me.

You don't have a penis?

The whole problem with being PC is you assume everyone else has 100% good intentions. The world is filled with perverts and criminals, mental issues or not.

This law is going to be abused. You think corporations would spend the money on twice as many bathrooms if they didn't need to do so? Please.

If you don't think there are already men perving on boys and women perving on girls you're quite ignorant to the realities of the world.

In time we will get rid of this ridiculous segregation based on genitalia and will be better for it as a society.

We've got to get past the horror of women breast feeding in public first.

My wife has no shame. Will whip out her breast for the baby anywhere . So far no issues other than the occasional downward stare from other women. Never gotten shade or gawking from men, though.

How do the trans-gendered react?

Lets try and keep this thread on track.

PC is a recipe for disaster

Yes genius, I'm pretty sure we're all aware of pedophiles and other perverts.

Are you saying that we shouldn't recognize two sexes? If you're talking about restrooms and locker rooms then we should eliminate stalls for toilets and showers and they should all be pan-sexual.

Huh? Why would that mean eliminating stalls for toilets?
