I am so sick of this issue. Why do these bigoted idiots automatically assume that because someone is transgendered, that they are automatically a sexual deviant or a predator? They're no more likely than the rest of the population. What the hell do I care if someone in the stall next to me has or had a penis, as long as they aren't bothering anyone else? Wouldn't you think if one's motive is to assault or molest someone, they'd pick somewhere a little less conspicuous than a multi-stalled bathroom? How does that even make sense? Why the sudden freak out about trans-women being in a bathroom with their daughters, if, by the same logic, they have had access to their sons for years? Boys get molested and raped too. Women can be sexual predators too. I mean, the ignorance just blows my mind.
Also, to my knowledge, most of the people being harassed due to this stupid ass debate are people who don't even identify as transgendered, but people who look gender neutral--Usually women who look kind of masculine who are using the women's bathroom. My daughter, for example, could pass for a boy or a girl, depending on what she's wearing, but she isn't trans. She's now scared to use public restrooms because she isn't a "girly girl" and is afraid of being harassed. That is just god damn pathetic and she should be able to dress like a tom-boy or whatever if she damn well pleases without being afraid that someone is going to get in her face or call the cops on her if she needs to pee.
