North Carolina and Transgender Bathrooms

[Anonymous]

I find the trans-gendered community to be very hypocritical on this issue. They find it offensive to be in the "other restroom" from their gender just as heterosexuals find it offensive that they are in "their" restroom. Why are the trans-gendered seemingly offended by the genitalia of their same biological sex? Can't they see that others (the large majority) are equally off-put by their position? This whole topic is crazy to me.

It's not just about toilet stalls.

What's it about then?

See above. You really cannot be this obtuse and dense...

Are you pro name caller? It's a simple question. Why are you avoiding?

In fact, it's white common for female sports reporters and trainers or other medical staff to be present in the lockerroom. Conservatives once again have found a solution in search of a problem. It's a non-issue.

You really are unbelievably naiive.

Do you think that there's some test for being transgender? You just have to say "I identify as a woman, I always have" and BOOM! You're in.

But what about me, the poster from a few pages back. I identify as a duck so you must recognize me as a duck. I want to poop outside! In your front yard!!! Quack. Now what are you going to do?

Pooping in my yard isn't legal, even if you identify as a duck. (Just as assault is illegal in a bathroom whether you identify as a man or a woman.)

Sorry; I meant the street right in front of your house! And the public park your kids play in! I'm a duck so how dare you try to stop me?

How would you feel if you were told that you had to use the opposite sex bathroom, at the same time feeling fear that if you went into your biologically-assigned bathroom that you would get assaulted? That's what many trans* individuals face every time they have to use a public restroom. Actually, you may have used the same restroom as a transwoman before and not known it...because they are women, who are not flaunting their genitalia, whatever it might look like. But if that same woman went into a man's restroom--also not flaunting her genitalia--she may have placed herself in danger. That's a big part of the issue here.

Oh but wait! You let other animals poop in your yard! How dare you discriminate against ducks? And remember: I am a duck, just because I say I am

LOL that women think of public bathrooms as "safe spaces." I don't care what you are wearing, you are not pushing your way into the ladies room on the NJ turnpike. We will cut you if you don't stand in line like everyone else. And a woman in an isolated public restroom is vulnerable, no matter what the rules are. You are pretending that this is an issue of women's safety, when it's really just that you think transgender people are weird and gross.

Dcum amazes me in that it thinks it is A-okay for a grown man to use womens' bathrooms and locker rooms if they happen to "feel" like a girl, but get outraged at the idea of a mom bringing her five year old son through the women's locker room so he doesn't have to go in the men's locker room alone.

+1 sums it up right there!

I don't let any animals poop in my yard...do you? In fact, my community just built a dog park so that dogs have their own place to go, because we were tired of dogs pooping in our yards without the owners cleaning up after them. Of course, humans, birds, and other animals are also welcome in the dog park.

I think it's prudish that we all don't use the same bathroom no matter our gender or sexual orientation.

How did you get the no pooping in your yard message out to the rabbits, squirrels, birds, chipmunks, vermin, etc? You could market your tactics and make a fortune.

I barely recognize this site anymore--how can it be that there are such small minded, provincial idiots that are afraid of a transgendered person in their public restroom. What the hell, DCUM?

[Anonymous]

Please go back to Fairfax Underground, queer haters. You don't live in DC. This is NOT the place for you. You are destroying this site with your low brow, knuckle dragging opinions.

Y'all lost your damn minds. Bathrooms are not a sanctuary. If the presence of someone makes you uncomfortable or feel unsafe then find another bathroom. Odds are you've used a bathroom at the same time as a transgendered person and had no idea. Don't send your children to a bathroom alone. Lock the door of your stall and mind your own damn business.
