(3,212 posts)with many. I'm fine with transgender women using the women's bathroom. They certainly wouldn't feel safe in the men's room!
However, it is the extreme reaction to this issue that some are advocating - doing away with single sex bathrooms and gym locker rooms that is causing most of the uproar.
There's a difference between having two completely private rooms at Starbucks and a person can use either room, and sharing a locker room at the gym where women walk around in towels, do their hair, their makeup, sit around and chat, etc. I would be extremely uncomfortable with men in there.
When some insist that we must go completely co-ed in order to make things easier for transgender folks, they've gone too far because they aren't considering the feelings of how everyone else will feel. Many women WILL NOT feel comfortable alone in a locker room with five guys. That's just how a lot of women feel, especially women who have been raped or molested.
What in the shit happened to common sense?
