16. These bathrooms laws really say that transgender people can't use any bathroom at all

They try to make you use the bathroom of the gender you were assigned at birth, but if you look very clearly like a different gender, you can't do that. A man with a beard can't walk into a women's restroom easily. Telling people he had been assigned the gender of female at birth wouldn't improve things. I would worry about a transgender woman's safety in a men's room. Again, telling people she was assigned the gender of male at birth wouldn't improve things. And non-binary people who look androgynous (like my child) get harassed in any bathroom. It just means people can't use any public restroom, and that's ridiculous. People need to mind their own business and let other people pee in peace.

I guess my answer would be... Turbineguy Dec 2016 #1
