Gender and sex used to be the same thing...they are not anymore these days which makes this difficult. Male used to mean both male gender and male sex. Nowadays the division needs to be made clearer. As long as someone is of a certain sex, that someone needs to use the appropriate changing rooms. Again, family or neutral changing rooms are the solution here. We had them always and everywhere where I grew up and I have always been confused as to why they barely exist in the US. Or female, male and then single stalls for [b]people who don't want to be confronted by other people's sexuality in whatever way[/b]. But just male and female and then mixing in all the new classification is just not ever going to work. Because somebody's right will always get trampled and that's not okay.[/quote]

One's sexuality is different from one's genitalia.

Here's a good, non-technical summary of why sex, gender, and sexuality are complicated -- and always have been complicated, even if we used to fool ourselves into thinking they were simple.

Oh my...I am a non-native English speaker which is why that one happened. I know the difference. What I meant was people in locker rooms shouldn't have to be confronted by naked bodies of the opposite sex. Because for different people having to see an opposite sex naked body can mean all kinds of things. And telling people to get over that is not okay. You are not telling transgender people to get over feeling like the opposite sex and just deal, are you? Sexuality, gender, sex, all of that is very intimate and transgender people's feelings are not the only ones to be respected here.[/quote]
