Transexuals

[Joods]

Again I don't care if a woman who is now physically a man uses the mens room, what I will not abid is being made to stand outside the woman's room waiting for my 8 year old, while an obvious man in a dress walks in behind her!

P/C bullshit aside if anyone of you were in a situation like that and you did not know this man in a dress from adam you can't tell me your initial reaction would be the same if it were a grandmother who followed your daughter in the lady's room.

If and when this happens Lord help me I will be on the news because I will not let that go down.

I get where you're coming from but there are some preventitive measures you can take for that. For instance:
1 - if it's possible, have your daughter go to the bathroom at your house before you leave to go grab a bite to eat. 
2 - Carry hand sanitizer with you so that she doesn't have to go to the bathroom just to wash her hands. 
3 - wait until you see a lady going to the bathroom and ask her if she wouldn't mind keeping an eye on your daughter while she's in there. 
4 - teaching your daughter about stranger danger and telling her to yell "fire" if she feels she's in a dangerous situation

I'm sure there are more, but I can sort of see where it would make one uncomfortable, especially if the person is obviously a man dressed as a woman.  But honestly, the chances of a transman going into the woman's bathroom to violate another person are slim to none and if you feel you are uncomfortable with that sort of situation, perhaps preventing the situation all together would help you. If you can't find anyone at all, perhaps appealing to a female member of the staff at the restaurant to accompany your child would put your mind at rest? I honestly don't know what else to tell you Drich. And really, I don't think there is anything anyone could say to you that would put your mind at ease. 

We have a transgender person in our school. During school, he is required to dress as a man because that's who he is, regardless of any medications he's taking to start his changover process. He's the only male student in school. Even he is considerate and aware enough to know to use the men's room at school. I have talked to him before on what his opinion about the bathroom issue is and he told me that until his change is complete, he will always use the men's bathroom because that is the considerate thing to do. So, you see, not all transgendered persons are the way you are thinking them to be. He has an entire community of people who are very supportive and I think that mutual respect and giving them a chance without judging them goes much farther than just assuming they have the intent to molest or harm someone in a bathroom.
