    I can't say I agree with any of this nonsense these States are tying to pull but just because it feels wrong or is wrong doesn't mean its illegal. The legal aspects of it all are pretty fascinating.

    Anyone else think the government stance is weak? After all the SCOTUS has ruled there IS a difference between sex and gender.

    To me it seems that the folks upset with North Carolina are totally misdirected.
    If any change is to come, Washington is going to have to re-examine the civil rights laws.

    Actually, it is also incumbent upon the various states to make greater strides in keeping bigotry and discrimination out of its laws. America has been through this so many times; and now, it's time to learn.

    How about learning that men have a penis and women have a vagina and we don't need obozo telling us what bathroom to use.

    How about a bathroom that does not know gender or orientation and is for a single occupant and then you have no problem for anyone that needs to use a bathroom ???

    Nobody shares toilets anyway, or sits on toilets in view of other people.

    And no, you can't blame President Obama for this particular wonder blunder....

    Yes, the discrimination against rapists and pedophiles must stop! They should have as much right to hang out in stalls in ladies only bathrooms as women do.

    Still pushing your goal of a millions of lockable private rape rooms, prostitution rooms and mini bum shelters being mandated by law, are you?

    Is a man someone who has a penis, regardless of whether their chromosomes match? Would you consider a post-operative transsexual who wasn't born with a penis but sports one now to be a man? How about learning that sex differentiation isn't as simple a process as you might think, and has serious ramifications for people when it doesn't produce the result that you're demanding?

    We don't need McCrory telling us what bathroom to use.

    NO, just free access to a bathroom, regardless of gender.
    The only one advocating rape is you.
    It is not an issue, it seems an obsession for you.

    Single user bathrooms would solve this problem, but they don't want to solve it. They want to (*)(*)(*)(*) everybody off and put men and women at risk to perverts.

    If you don't know what a man is, you are beyond any kind of meaningful discussion.

    It was never an issue as a lawman in the U.S. or with my brief time with Interpol chasing down a few American rogues throughout Europe.

    The mindset of some of these people is incredible.

    If a 40 year old man identifies as a 65 year old man then he should get social security right? If a plumber suddenly identifies as the president he should report to Washington, right? If a young black woman idnentifies as Beyonce, she should be in the super bowl half time show. And if I identify and catch some hairy legged pervert in the bathroom with my grand daughter, I'm gonna pound his head in.

    Right.

    I understand that a man is more than a penis. What you understand about it apparently wouldn't fill a thimble.

    This issue is going to the courts, for them to decide. Having said that, from my perspective, the issue is already being put to rest by the construction trades, both new and remodeling. What has been going on for years now, is new buildings are already getting single occupancy, unisex lavatories. Also, remodeled or refurbished buildings are getting the same thing done but it's a bit more expensive than new construction.

    Since you've got nothing but inflammatory nonsense, we're apparently done.

    Separate bathrooms for men and women isn't bigotry and discrimination. That's just what the Fed has to characterize the policy as to support any argument that such a policy violates the constitution.
    Much like what has happened with marriage. Marriage limited to men and women because only men and women procreate, is perfectly constitutional. It was marriage limited to men and women because the majority hates gays that was determined to be unconstitutional.

    When it comes to the differing designs for men and womens bathrooms, the penis is the only distinguishing feature.

    Your stupid commentary can be limited on my screen (thank goodness).

    Bye, JakeJ.
