[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't the transgendered person be the one who has to just deal with being uncomfortable, go to the bathroom that aligns with their biology and DNA, and close their stall door?

Because when a transwoman walks into a men's room, she opens herself up to violence and harassment by being a woman in the men's room. There has been a lot of violence done to transwomen in just this situation. [/quote]

Better to expose women to the violence, then the poor, poor "transwoman".  After all, their safety is MUCH more important. [/quote]
I'm going to say this again, and then I'm probably going to leave the thread because I'm getting frustrated, and none of us is going to convince the other to change her mind:

Violence is illegal. If a man dressed as a man goes into a woman's bathroom or locker room and exposes himself for sexual gratification, harasses a woman, and/or does a woman physical harm, the authorities should be involved the same thing applies if a man is dressed in women's clothing or says he identifies as a woman, OR if a transwoman does these things. There will be no change in anti-harassment or violence laws.

[b]FWIW, I'm all for unisex single-stall bathrooms everywhere, and people (cis* or trans*) using them. I think that would eliminate a lot of these arguments and make nearly everyone more comfortable. [/b]

And I'm out. [/quote]

This, alone, is the stupidest "compromise" I have ever heard of. No, it would not "eliminate a lot of these arguments and make everyone more comfortable." [b]I do not want a man, real or pretending, standing next to me in the rest room. Period.[/b][/quote]
