You'd retract that if your 10 year old daughter was accosted in a ladies room by a gender confused male who identifies as a female lesbian.
Beast, sadly there are always going to be situations of individuals being accosted by sexually, and criminally, aggressive individuals -- most of whom are heterosexual. As for the law passed by the North Carolina, it requires transgender people (and everyone else) to use public restrooms, as defined, according to the biological sex on their birth certificate. That said, women who have "transgendered" into males -- and who have a penis -- would be forced to used the women's restroom or locker room because their birth certificates states they're female. As the parent of a 10-year-old girl, that's something would cause me consternation.
Ken, the federal mandate has no requirement for any clinical assessment to be made. An individual only has to assert that they identify with another gender - and NOTHING else - to legally use the bathroom of their choice. The federal ruling was poorly conceived simply for political purpose to rev up the LGBT vote, the same way BLM movement has been, the same way Occupy Wall Street was used. Don't confuse that with any point that any of those movements has merit. It was done purely and simply to be used to divide people to make their voting choices simpler. Is it reasonable to qualify what a transgender person is - even by a very private registration or designation by a healthcare provider? I believe so. But the point of this administration is to cast everything so broadly black and white as to really agitate their voting base.
The one thing, and maybe the only thing, that this administration has been successful is dividing people.

EXCLUSIVE: President Obama is scheduled to announce at 8 pm that North Carolina has been suspended from the United States until he is allowed to enter women's bathrooms.
Whoops. When I first read the topic, I thought the NCAA was holding UNC accountable for phantom classes. Alas, I should have known better.

how many transgender or whatever type people are going to want to use the ladies rooms at sporting events. So many people drink at those events you ever see the line for their bathrooms ? I go to a hockey game at msg and I'm out of the mens room in minutes and can walk down to the bronx pail ale booth drink another beer and go to the bathroom again and Nathalie is still waiting on line for the ladies room. Especially the upstairs bathrooms near the chase bridge
When will it be announced that we are invading North Carolina? Just told my daughter who lives down there with my 4 grandchildren that we are never going to visit her in NC again until they change the laws as we fall in line with the NBA, NCAA and ACC. :silly:

Gender identity, homosexuality and pedophilia are very distinct issues.
