Is there another way around the Gender Bender Bathroom Debates?

They could just make gender free single bathrooms. But the lines would be enormous.

I agree with you.

I do not necessarily think that gender neutral bathrooms are a great idea, but I also do not think that the "if you are XX use the girl's room and XY use the men's room" is right, either. First, a person in transition will have the outward appearance of whatever gender they feel comfortable as, so they will look like a woman or man, even if their genitals might not have made the transition. Second, if they have had the surgery, then their genitals will also be of the opposite gender, so you are essentially saying that it IS alright for women and men to share the same bathroom.

Why do I feel like agreeing to this...if it is XX, it is women, if it is XY...it is men...perfect solution. Problem is, by the time the differentiation is over, the person would have peed in his or her pants.

I agree with your whole post. Unless a third bathroom is there for everyone with stalls.

The only thing that i feel to keep things safe for people is to have 1 bath room and it be for both as some places do. But i am not ok with a guy going into the bath room with my little girl as there is no real way to see if they are just pretenting or not.

I am in total agreement with you. We must protect our children above all. God please intervene in this very mixed up world in Jesus name Amen

I just watched the most interesting video, @lookatdesktop ! I think you might find it interesting, as well... If you don't, you can always delete this response, since my other response agrees with you, but this one won't! I like to be aware of all facts that I can find on things before settling on an opinion... I obviously missed the boat on this issue, for which I apologize! Here is a video which gives statistical facts about this debate as well as many of the arguments I have heard surrounding this debate! It's worth watching, in my opinion... I will let you make your own decisions, though. I have never forced my opinions on anyone and have no plans to start now. Thank you!

I do agree that a transgender person should consider what a child might see when using the facilities. Most adults are careful about that, but not all are. Even when being careful, an inquisitive child can still maneuver around without an adult realizing it and see more than they should. (I just grossed myself out. Personally, I will leave a bathroom when a younger child is already there, or leave as quickly as I can after one enters the restroom. I refuse to take chances.) In a perfect world, there would be several individual bathrooms built instead of one for men and one for women, so nobody encounters another person unless the meeting is pre-arranged. (No, I don't think that should be allowed, either, but it does and will happen, no matter what others want.) Trans-gender people need to realize they are creating more of a problem for the rest of us, instead of expecting us to accommodate them. They should make the effort to keep problems from occurring, not add more problems to those already faced in a public bathroom. If they want to change their bodies to "fix" a mistake made by mother nature, that is fine, but the rest of us don't (or shouldn't) need to have that "fix" thrown into our faces. Instead, our society is shifting even more towards catering to those who inconvenience others with their demands, instead of telling them that since they wanted to change, they need to make allowances to accommodate us. Truth be told, I would prefer that groups of individual bathrooms be mandatory now. I don't LIKE needing to use a facility where I must smell another person's funk, or see something I am not specifically WANTING to see. (Yep! By that, I mean I don't think a person should finish their business and start towards the sink without putting their equipment away. I don't care if you are proud of what you have! I don't want to see it! You shouldn't have the right to MAKE me see it, either!) Not quite on topic for this discussion, but I still addressed the main discussion as well as a couple other items that should be addressed!

There has already been an instance of a grown man going into the ladies room and attacking an 8-year-old girl.
