I have a very, very close and dear friend whose young teen child (born girl, identifies as male/non)--an extremely lovely, smart, and wonderful kid--who, IMO, should pee wherever the heck they feel is right. Luckily they're growing up in a very accepting household and community. My friend is most nervous about the future, venturing in to college and so on. We know the statistics on violence and suicide are quite high for this group.

My daughter met a cashier at Staples the other day who was probably born male, I referred to her as "he," and she corrected me: "She." I said, "Yes, pardon me, 'she'." My daughter asked, "Wait, are you a girl?" And the person behind the register said, "Yes, very much that's I feel deep down inside. How about you?" My daughter said, "I feel like I'm a girl." The cashier said, "Cool" and they fist bumped. And so it goes... My kid's eight, so if she can roll with it...

If history is any guide, we will become less and less uptight and hateful as time goes on. Stand up for these folks. They could use more support and acceptance.


And today, I feel like a duck. Does that make me a duck?


I assure you, ducks would not care.

I've yet to see a reply about exposed dongs in the lady's locker room. Is everyone OK with this, even when children are present?

Why wait? I just use the men's room if its empty.


Agreed. No man is going to complain even if it's full. You'll probably even get a pass to the front of the line. You will, however, be grossed out by the conditions of the restroom.

Ew! Not very ladylike, to say the least.

Very scary that lunatics are getting legislative leverage. That's the takeaway. Make sure you're educating your children and keeping tabs on what's out there. It's getting more warped by the minute.

No you don't. Men piss all over everything, especially the seat.


Umm have you been in a women's bathroom? There's pee everywhere. Men can still use urinals (in stalls)




They can, but they don't. It's some primal territory-marking thing, I guess.

Btw a real perv isn't going to dress up alike a woman to get into the bathroom. He's just going to walk in dressed as a man.


And what rule says they have to be dressed like a woman?
This. AS long as they claim "they feel like a woman" this provision allows them to enter the opposite sex restroom. Disgusting slippery slope.


Right, and marriage equality opened the door for everyone to marry dogs and chickens- mass hysteria!!

This extends to locker/dressing/shower rooms in a gym setting..
So, let's do an experiment and let men into locker rooms and see if your theory shakes out. Care to volunteer?
