(1,254 posts)The problem is the way laws are written. I read a Time Magazine article about a girl's swim team in New York who were afraid to use the woman's locker room because it was opened to transgenders. It was not that these girls were afraid of transgender people, what they were afraid of was men posing as transgender. There was a report of a bald man with heavy beard and mustache showering in the woman's locker room and the attendants interviewed for the TM article told the reporter, they knew about this man but the law tied their hands. They supposedly can not confront the man and force him to prove he has a legal excuse (transgender) for being there. To question his gender status is considered discrimination. So is this man actually transgender or is he merely taking advantage so he can shower/share a locker room with naked women? Seems that these laws need adjustments that address these loose ends. This seems to be the case when laws are written. They are too generalized and sometimes cause more problems than they solve. But we end up butting heads when we should put our heads together and find ways to solve problems and protect everyone.
