My understanding was that it was NOT a law, but something like a regulation. If anything, it encourages more notoriety to people with that persuasion. Stupid.

I moved out of the PRC not long after this law was passes. It seems that the majority of the politicos there have lost touch with reality. My wife was a school councillor and was instructed on how to deal with such situations. If the girls are uncomfortable with a boy in the locker room, the school has to provide a safe place for them. Now, if I were the School Superintendent I would sue the state for the money to build two more locker rooms.

fosterj717...you should be writing news pieces or at least a blog....Brilliant description of the current occupier of our White house and his bootlickers. What a disgrace his 50 year term has been - and still is. He brought "change" for sure. he, and Bill Clinton's wife" will eventually go away, but the real danger is the millions of idiots who think these communist/socialists are right and will continue to slavishly vote for the freebies and feel good huggy nonsense. If one wishes to change their identity, rock on but don't force me to love and worship them for their perversions.. leave us fuddy duddy straights alone and we will reciprocate.

If you can make someone believe that a man is a woman or a woman is a man, you can make them believe anything that you say. And that is the point...

It's smoke and mirrors look at the other hand.

What is the problem? Maybe taking showers together and using the same restroom will remove the mystery of the opposite sex that seems to cloak our culture. In France, as an example, I had to go and “the place” was next to stairs leading up to a patio. While I was busy, a lady nonchalantly said “bonjour” to me as she ascended the stairs. In San Sebastian, Spanish Basque country, they had outside “places” that looked like poles with four positions around the pole. These were located on the public streets. My wife took a photo of me to prove it to US prudes. In any event, relieving oneself is a long way from erotic, at least in my mind. Could this whole ruckus be insignificant?

we all may have to move to the Carolinas so that we know which bathroom to use...

Not quite sure why 99.7% of the population has to have a loss of privacy to make this tiny slice of the population feel good. Their right to swing their fists ends at my nose. Disabilities cause inconvenience to those that have them. Why should the travails of such a small group have to impact my rights. I actually have them too!

"we're going to do it with sensitivity to our entire population" Is what the school states.

Which population would they be thinking of, exactly?

This correlates to my experience with casually knowing a few transsexuals, they are private and sensitive. In fact that seems to be true of the majority of the homosexual community that I have personally known.

Let me point out the obvious! This whole "transgender" schtick is nothing more than this president's slight of hand trick that he uses so well.

It has nothing to do with the rights of Transgenders (.3% of the population) but rather it is a way of diverting everyone's attention, especially that of this moronic group known as the mainstream media. They pick this "initiative" up and carry the water for our "Pretender" in Chief.

All the while, he is working feverishly in the background with his administration toadies, doing immense damage that is not being covered. What better way than to divert the attention of the American public than taking a totally illogical initiative and making it a "centerpiece" that everyone is concerned about (after all it affects the "children"). Out of sight! Out of mind - mission accomplished!!!

Check out his new directives and agency rules/regulations - incredible!

It is applicable.

Well, you just wanted to lay low and be who you are. This government won't allow that. You must be used to divide. You'll be thrust into the heat of battle because there's money to be made and power to be brokered.

As a straight man and father I am not concerned by anybody in your position. I have a client who has done what you have. What I'm concerned about is pedophiles taking advantage of this. I'm concerned about little girls not being granted privacy in a locker room or restroom.

Thanks for sharing...

This is why I believe that this recent push in the media about this is probably motivated by pedophiles.

It's sad to see real transsexuals, most of whom spend their life seeking privacy, being used to promote a "sexual revolution." The "Gaystapo" appears to be seeking to push the envelope of acceptance to the breaking point, even if it puts transgenders under unwanted pressure.

I've had gay friends and have worked with transgendered business associates, and most of them have been very uncomfortable with being pushed into a public spotlight. Most disenfranchised minority members in society can point to economic damage due to their situation, but the average income of the gay community is actually higher than the national average. This has been due to Americans willingness for behavior not harmful to others to have unspoken tolerance, and a recognition of the talent and diligence of the "different" among us.

Government intervention in civil rights for American blacks terminated the process of peaceful integration into society taking place in the early 1900s, setting up the more agonizing confrontations that came to a head in the 1960s. It appears to be making the acceptance of sexual variance headed to the same conclusion.

I am transsexual. I wend through the entire process including surgery 25 years ago. I can't tell you how disgusted I am to have people like me be a political football in some dumbass "culture war". I am really pissed that I have to worry, after all these years, whether I will be accosted using a public women's room in some states now. What a stupid regression.

Believe me that you don't do this and go public on a lark. You certainly don't go so far as to get hormones. Transgenders and especial transsexuals have been treated a long time and there is a very large body of standards of filtering out those that either are not primarily transgender or have other issues making it problematic for them to go forward. There is not such mental disorder that masquerades as this.

You can't have it both ways. A TS girl is female in all but body parts, not male. So calling her him in one context and her in another does not work. Also when she goes on hormones she is chemically castrated so the boy parts are not exactly a threat. But frankly almost no TS wants to be naked in front of others with the "wrong" parts. That is intensely embarrassing to most to say the least. So the answer is to have the TS teen shower etc separately. That is likely the best solution.
But the bathroom crap is just stupid. Women aren't looking at each other's parts in normal bathrooms with stall with doors.

'mom I think there's a boy changing in my locker room'

" If she becomes aroused in a "

She !

Since you have never been a girl during your puberty years, Mike. You don't understand and never will. Girls can be so shy about their own bodies at that age, they do whatever they can to keep the other girls from seeing them naked in the locker rooms. It's not right or fair that the government steps in and insist these girls now have to shower or appear in the locker room with someone who is sporting a penis.

Not all those that call themselves transgender are legit cases, some are just mentally ill. There is a disorder for it.

I'm just grateful my girls are grown and I taught them to avoid public bathrooms whenever possible. This whole subject is so stupid.

Our President needs to stop getting his policy ideas from Netflix rentals.

Hahaha...question is...can they actually fornicate in the manner in which they identify...?!?! if not it becomes "Fake Tranforinicating" (Like pumping air) or a dog pumping your leg)...

It's now called: Tranfornia...

"The only reason that you do not want teenage boys showering with teenage girls is that boys are sexually aggressive." Well, that's not the only reason. But, after that do we need more reasons? LOL! It is my understanding that Federal money is attached to this program.

I keep thinking that the government should no longer be in the business of school...
