I wasn't attacking you because we disagree. In this case, I think we actually are more in agreement than disagreement. I get that he brought up the initial comparison but you have to admit that asking him how to determine whether someone is a human or a dog because they say they're a dog is just an extremely silly direction to take this conversation. If there was a point you were trying to drive home, I missed it. |

you are correct....you missed it. |

Better make sure ObamaCare covers sex change operations. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2004/jul/30/health.mentalhealth There is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals, with many people remaining severely distressed and even suicidal after the operation, according to a medical review conducted exclusively for Guardian Weekend tomorrow. |

I don't think anyone is arguing that the bill could financially impact NC. The argument is on whether it is a just law or not. |

Brian and dreach, I have a question. In the trans bathroom situation, if a 3rd unisex or family restroom is available, should the trans person have to use that one or should they still be allowed to use the one opposite of their biological gender if that's what they identify with? |

Again, I just think people should use whichever bathroom they feel is appropriate at the time. I mentioned I have a daughter. I also have a son. Depending on the situation, I've brought them into the women's restroom before, usually because there's no changing table in a men's restroom. It was a simple matter of, "Is anyone in here? Is there a changing table I can use? Is that ok?" And I would either enter or wait and then go about my day. I don't think every trans person feels comfortable using the opposite gender bathroom. I don't think all of them would feel comfortable using the family restroom (especially with those tiny toilets, amiright?) Everyone is different. The point is, they should have the option to choose which bathroom to go in that is most comfortable for them and others. And that may change depending on where they are and when. |

Yeah, I concur. They should just use whichever they feel comfortable with. |

So you have repeatedly said that its about safety and being out of harm's way. Now you seem to instead be saying that it is about comfort. Which is it? I would hate to think that you only use he violence/harm card when it fits the narrative. Edited by Mr Gray, Apr 30 2016, 09:39 AM.

Comfort is safety. I feel more comfortable driving the speed limit because it is the safer decision for me and my family. |

Incorrect. I asked if a unisex or family restroom is available, should a trans person have to go to that one or can they still go to the men's or women's if they identify that way. You said it is whatever they are comfortable with. They are absolutely not in harms way in the family restroom, however you are contending that they can still not want to go to that one because they are more comfortable in a different one. In your own words here, safety was not comfort. |

Again, you should really go to an LGBT peer support group and learn about these issues from those most affected. Again, this is about their comfort, not yours. Also, many would say the same thing I would say in terms of family restrooms, why use them if they are intended for families/disabled folks? Also, being "forced" into a family restroom can make someone feel outed when they don't want to be. |
