How dare President Spellings ignore a law that is meant to protect the wives, daughters, and sisters of America. In what world does it make sense to allow transgender women the luxury of occupying a restroom that corresponds with their gender? Why would Spellings give agency to men that are bound to take advantage of the law and enter women’s restrooms? Amirite?
Not really.
To the “I don’t want my wife and daughter being in the same restroom as a man”, crowd: Where is the range and concern when your wives and daughters are verbally harassed by men simply for walking down the street as a woman?
Where is the outrage when your wives and daughters are groped and grabbed by the same men that use restroom with you?
Why is it that so many people are up in arms about who gets to share private spaces when so many people commit crude acts in public?
You should be just as concerned with what happens in the dark corners of night clubs and in between lofted beds in college dorm rooms.
Women are targeted in all realms of their life. Taking care of their business, behind a locked stall, isn’t halfway as daunting as walking down a sidewlk alone.
Much of therage is unprecedented for. If a perverted man (or woman) had the intention of entering a women’s bathroom, they probably have already.
Ensure that the men and boys in your life have a clear understanding of how women, and people in general, should be treated. Since the topic won’t go away anytime soon, take the time to learn about the language and differentiations that exist on the gender spectrum. That may take away some of your reservations.
