I've seriously had enough of this bathroom bullshit.
It isn't about transgender people using the bathroom--either bathroom. I don't give a flying rat's ass which one they use. I'm not the fucking bathroom police. I go in there, do my business, and get out. I'm too busy answering nature's call to care who else is in the bathroom with me.
And honestly, actual transgender people have been using the bathrooms of their choice decades before this whole thing became an issue. I myself have never met one, nor seen one (probably because they conceal their...condition, so well). I doubt I ever will. So I don't give a damn what bathroom they use.
I have no problem with that. But these laws and policies allowing them to use the bathrooms of their choice aren't necessary. They only provide a legal gateway for perverts, child molesters and rapists to walk in to the women's bathroom in particular and do unspeakable things to the occupants. These perverts would have been better off not knowing there were such laws. Existing law should have served as a sufficient deterrent.
It bears repeating, though, that transgender individuals have been able to freely use the bathroom of their choice for a long time now, without anyone noticing. There's no need for this nonsense. No need for laws, no need for any of this.
But as for school locker rooms, that's a whole 'nother ballgame. Parents have legitimate concerns that their children will be exposed to not only the anatomy of the opposite sex, but that their children's right to privacy may be compromised. It's interesting to see how the rights of every other biological girl in the locker room all pale in comparison to the boy who identifies as a girl disrobing before them.
That's the liberal definition of "fairness" and "inclusivity" speaking. I call it "inclusion by exclusion"; or elevating the rights of one group of people over another group of people, because "inclusiveness." I wouldn't blame any parent for pulling their child out of a school who operates under such policies.
Both sides have legitimate points, but both sides are also being woefully irrational. I've been convinced that there will never be an amicable solution to this problem. Ever.
