who happen to be transgender. (Edited for proper terminology. No offense intended)
I can't seem to find the volumes and volumes of reports put together into one expansive list.
This is happening hundreds of times a day from the outrage and screams of the repukes.

(3,076 posts)Its men (pervs, not transgendered men) who want to walk into a ladies room. How do you propose to stop them? "Sorry sir, this is the ladies room. You can't come in here." "Sorry, but I self identify as a female today. You can't stop me." What is your response in this situation?

(1,558 posts)It's wierdo guys who will use the legal opportunity to perv.
Whether or not it actually will become a problem, however, is yet to be seen.

(3,076 posts)It had nothing to do with the transgender community. It had to do with NON transgender men who may decide to "take advantage" of the law.

(5,461 posts)Also, what's to stop pervs from doing what they do right now - sneaking in when nobody is in there? If it would be such a problem, why do people not do it now?
Also, why do transgender men never get mentioned in this debate?

Someone could just wait until the restroom is empty (as it often is).

Transgendered people aren't any problem whatsoever. They just want to piss like the rest of us.

I'm not entirely sure how one is to tell one group of penis equipped individuals in dresses apart from another.
If anyone has a solution to public washroom perverts of all descriptions the providers of public accommodations the world would love to hear about it.

Problem with being located right by a major transit hub.
Sen. Walter Sobchak
(8,692 posts)We didn't have a huge problem with the homeless, but lots of Larry Craig problems in the men's room and perverts in the women's.
We have some crazy stories about a "gang" of drag queen shoplifters, but I am pretty sure they jury would frown upon them.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Precise- and invariably its the poor retail sacks making close to minimum wage who have to deal with the problems.
Like it's a huge pain in the ass having to use the can in your run of the mill mid-to-major metro area, because businesses guard their bathrooms like it is the holy of holies. But I also understand why.
We had basically single occupancy bathrooms so that cut down on some kinds of funny business, but every couple months you'd get commander poopypants come in and do some sort of jackson pollock routine.
Yuk.

(25,406 posts)Problematic: "transgendered"
Preferred: transgender
The adjective transgender should never have an extraneous "-ed" tacked onto the end. An "-ed" suffix adds unnecessary length to the word and can cause tense confusion and grammatical errors. It also brings transgender into alignment with lesbian, gay, and bisexual. You would not say that Elton John is "gayed" or Ellen DeGeneres is "lesbianed," therefore you would not say Chaz Bono is "transgendered."

There aren't many transgenders in the general population - so the vast, vast majority of sexual deviants who might use the pretext in women's restrooms will always far outweigh the literally tiny number of actual transgender people who might also have this sort of sexual deviancy.
Yes, it happens. But it is very, very rare. However the sexual perverts in the bathrooms AREN'T that rare, and legislation or regulation mandating that they be allowed access is a danger to women and children.
And here is how it works (from Canada):

Justice John McMahon declared Christopher Hambrook who claimed to be a transgender woman named Jessica was a dangerous offender.
