Here it is in one huge non-issue.

The idea of banning "transgender" folks from restrooms.

I leave that open as to gender because, as it turns out, it is pretty hard to spot a transgender person. First some have "become" men and others "women". I only use the quotes to indicate the ending point of their search for gender identity.

Tempest in a Toilet.

Let's start with the bathroom itself.

That is a whole lot simpler.

There are many places that already have one bathroom for all. I go to a public meeting room three days a week. There are two bathrooms there. Each has a man and a woman on the sign. Gender various.

I go in and pee and a woman comes in to pee after me. Either order.

Just like home. One hole for all.

Most people do not have their own separate gender bathroom in their house. Do they? Maybe the crazy right does. Let's go into their homes and check them out. They like the policing idea.

OK. Right.

The next thing. I know a few transgender people. They are seldom "visible". You would not know!

I know one person who is in transition. We know because s/he was male and now is moving in the direction of being a female. That is the only reason we can tell. But the "look" is changing rapidly. She seems a bit tall but not really. That is my eye lying to me. And my memory. I have to remind myself of who s/he used to be. I do not know which bathroom s/he uses. It is none of my fucking business.

Honestly? When it is pretty clear that they are one-holers I have used a female designated toilet. Necessity requires. How many other men have? A lot. Be honest. Women too.

Yes. There is the issue of kids. What is the issue? Sending them into a public bathroom alone.

Here, the solution is to find a gender neutral toilet. I have had to take my kids in to pee. It is a little creepy to take a little girl into a mens room. Or for me to go into the Ladies to let her be "correct".

It is all horseshit really.

Sure, there are pedophiles but most of them are not using the toilet at McDonalds. They are lurking in the parks or playgrounds handing out lollypops.

Donald Trump, who manages and builds real estate has had the best answer to this. He said that it was a solution in search of a problem.

Not so his opponents. It is a tiresome feature of the GOoPer, many of them, that sex is a hot issue. Mostly embarrassing or blaming. It is the religious nut side of the GOoPer.

Oh well. Good for The Donald. If I was a Repub I would vote for him.
