They're afraid people will expose themselves to children.
Is there no law against that already?
They have to punish the whole transgender community because men occasionally flash little girls?
Ok.
Nobody said Arizona is a place for smart people.0 -

So I'm a dude who is lost in my own body and think I'm a chick, so I dress like a chick, but, have to go to the men's washroom, and that somehow is not going to make people uncomfortable.

Glad to see they thought this one through.
"Sorry sir, we know you are transgendered, but can you drop the women's gear before you go into the men's bathroom and when you are done, you can dress back up and carry on." I think this is how they should word this new law.
Get over the hang up people. Travel to Europe and see what life can really be like. One bathroom for a whole club.

I always hear how America needs to be more like Europe ... then I watch a FIFA football game and the fans are chucking bananas at players with darker skin and players doing Nazi salutes after scoring goals.
But they have bathrooms figured out?

I don't really understand the issue. I mean don't women's washroom have enclosed stalls. So even if a transgender woman went into went into one it is not like she would be able to see anyone else using the washroom. And it is not like anyone would be able to figure out that she was not born a woman, since she would be using an enclosed stall. Plus if this person identified as a woman, why do people think she would want to check out other women using the washroom?
People in general seem way to freaked out about the idea that other people are going check them out naked/changing/using the washroom. To me it seems that people must think very highly of themselves to assume that other people want to see them naked.0 -

I saw this on the news a few weeks back. The dad said that the son mentioned that his favorite colors were pink and purple so they assumed something must be going on....... :fp:0 -

ya every cop in the world cannot wait to abuse transgender people. i'd imagine most cops would protect them & try to keep the peace. the cops in my little iowa town would not use their authority to bully & abuse a man in a dress who believes he is a girl. they would try & protect him/her from nasty ass societyfor poetry through the ceiling.

I am way more aware than you are about the crime issues that we have. I wasn't making a comparison with your little town. I was simply making the point that cops can't necessarily be trusted to do the right thing (especially in large cities, and especially in Vancouver). But I'm not sure what your point is anyway - is it that cops can only be trusted when there isn't a high crime rate?? I would actually think that there are some small town cops who would be less accepting of transgenereds than those in major cities.
Actually, I personally KNOW one of the cops who did that (they all went to trial and were found guilty). He was a friend of my ex boyfriend's. And yes, four cops just decided to take a guy from downtown (he was known to police but not breaking the law at the time), and took him to the park and beat the hell out of him. It was simply a macho, group mentality thing. That is ALL that is part of the story. I wasn't THAT surprised when the guy I know ended up being one of them though (surprised he was that stupid, but not that he went aggro). I went paint balling with him once while he was in training, and he wore full police riot gear for it and went crazy. :fp:
And there are SO many other stories from our police force that would blow your mind (if you respected me enough to believe me, that is).With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

Sadly, you'd be wrong.0
