[quote=doofrat][quote=svelte][quote=paramount]There was a great article in the New York times about the growing denial of reality.
For example, there is a mindset that the gender you identify with is what you are. You’re female if somehow you identify with the female gender as an example (ie Caitlyn).

Yeah I totally don’t get it either.
Gay rights, I’m all for. But this ‘T’ stuff that’s trying to tag along for the ride, I’m not buying.
If the person’s DNA says they are a male, they are a male. There’s no debate as to which bathroom or locker room they use, it is clear cut – no matter what clothes or makeup they choose to put on the outside of that DNA.[/quote]
So you’re saying these “Men” in the picture (from Wikipedia article on androgen insensitivity) should use the Mens restroom and wear Men’s clothes because they are genetically men, even though they have the body and genitalia of females. [/quote]
Don’t know how I can be more clear. If they have an X and a Y chromosome, use the men’s room buddy.

I think there are a few people who really do identify with a gender other than their biological one. But that is a minority, and lots of others are just going along for the ride for the fun of it.[/quote]
That’s all fine and good. I don’t care who they really identify with. I don’t even care if they are along for the ride. Go for it – dress however you want! I’m good with it! Just use the appropriate restroom for your DNA.
Really I think this whole issue (won’t call it a problem because its not) could be solved with unisex bathrooms full of individual stalls. I’d be all for that.
Why us guys accept a row of urinals is beyond me. I think the women’s room should have a row of toilets without walls for women who are just doing #1…same difference, right? I would have thought women would be against urinals in men’s rooms too cuz it is their guy standing there risking splash back time and time again. Their guy who they’ll be doing who knows what with later. Not to get too graphic, but this is never talked about.
