Everybody is boycotting North Carolina

This is why the whole world is so retarded these days. Like I said before it's nobody d*** business what they do in the bathroom and the state doesn't have no right to make these retarded laws so they could pay the d*** taxpayers money.

I've seen transgendered (or at least very good cross dressers) in the ladies room before. Sometimes it seemed a little obvious because of their height/big feet/just a feeling.....I remember one such person in particular at Studio 54 in the very early 80's. We struck up a conversation and s/he was hilarious and sweet. So I really don't give a rat's butt what's under the dress, just go in the stall and do your business and get back out on the dance floor!

I am trying to imagine you as a Disco Babe Hawk...groovy...

LMFAO! I actually did have shoes almost exactly like that. I was always more of a rocker than a disco-er but all that Saturday Night Fever stuff happened in the middle of my college years, so we kinda had it all.
AND - we all used to sometimes go in the men's rooms at the clubs because the ladies line was too long. Nobody cared.

I'd dare to say you were all adults in those clubs and such. Most of the disgruntlement I hear about this law is because of the children and young adults that might be in those bathrooms. That, to me anyway, is the part that keeps being omitted here, it's not adults in a bathroom / lavatory setting it's mostly the presumption of children / young adults being in them. Though have to admit there are some that are simply hollering because of it being male's dressing as females in a females bathroom / locker room / etc.

The drinking age was 18 then, so most of us were at least 15. Are they worried about straight men dressing as women to fool young girls? I think the biggest problem in the schools is bullying and all they need is good old fashioned hall monitors. We were hardly ever unsupervised in the bathrooms. They were afraid we'd smoke something LOL

I myself smoked herb across the street when in High school..it was inner city cool in the way back then....

Honestly I haven't figured out all the issues they are suggesting. I know I heard one argument about bathrooms in something like a mall as an example, bathrooms at amusement parks, parks in general, etc. Haven't really heard to many discussions about schools though i'm sure they are there as well. There being discussions not people specifically.

Myself I am torn. There are times my 9 year old granddaughter wants to go to the bathroom by herself and we let her go but stand outside the door. But then we know she is alone in the bathroom / restroom. So the idea of giving them a little freedom seem's endangered by having to have someone present with them, sort of standing outside the actual stall. To be honest I tend to look at this whole situation the same i'd look at a drunk driver. I might pass 9 of them on a given night and have no issue, but the 10th one might crash into me and kill me. So I prefer that even the single chance of being killed be ruled out by preventing it as a whole vice saying well the other 9 times nothing happened. I see the transgender thing in the same light, 9 times it might be a person who is simply in the wrong body, but that 10th person has the potential to truly harm and mess someone up. Doesn't mater if it's male on male, male on female, female on female or adult on child, it's not worth the chance or the potential enabling of it to occur. Yet most of the hype is about male in drag as it were while ignoring the other side of that coin I think when it comes to molesters, flashers, abusers, etc. they can be male or female.

I realize the times are changing but really do not think the odds are changing as much as people want to make believe.

Ironically, more GOP politicians have been arrested for bathroom shenanigans than Trans people.

I don't want Republicans to be in the same bathroom with my kids.
