That is why we both agree there must be a an alternative restroom, non gender specific, which most public places do have now.
However, I must ask, you do agree that it would be absolutely silly to ask a man transitioning into a woman to use the men's restroom. If women do not want her in their restroom, and men don't want her in their restroom, you do understand where this is going, correct?
I do think it would be silly. That's why I think there should be an alternative restroom.
Quote:Also, a man transitioning into a woman having to use the men's room is quite possibly more uncomfortable than you could ever feel having her in your restroom.
I actually don't feel uncomfortable with a physical man who identifies as a woman in the same public bathroom as me. Only in the same lockerroom when I need to change clothes or take a shower. Even if hormone therapy has started, I wouldn't feel comfortable in this situation unless the sex change was completed.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
