Public restrooms for transgenders / transvestites

Southie, you crack me up. You supposedly be the biggest minority right activist on GS, yet you just made a most discriminatory argument from a transgender’s point of view. You only consider those a transgender, who have surgery performed on them? You give that definition to a transgender and he/she will take it as an offense. Because there are many who don’t think that an anatomy change is required to recognize them as a transgender. For them, a transgender is a transgender, be it a post op or pre op.

Yes, you are correct. Gender is what a person identifies with. Sex is the organ.

What Is Transgender? Beyond the Bathroom Debate

My views are unchanged. If a person identifies as a woman, that person uses the ladies room. Period.

What is discriminator is making fun of them such as “checking for manly women entering the ladies room”. Such comments are mocking, and are not appropriate, IMO.

THANK YOU.
