That's life.  It's not like I want to make a transgender who believes they are male us a male restroom at the risk of harassment or bodily harm.  I want to provide them with a comfortable and safe place to meet their needs.  There are others in the world who have their concerns to be met also.  Jesus loves everybody, not just transgenders, as do I.

Forcing transgendered people to use a "gender neutral bathroom" is basically forcing them to use a bathroom labeled "transgendered people," which puts a TARGET on their back, and sends forth the message, "you're not a man OR a woman, you're a weird thing that we don't know what else to do with, so go here."  

I don't think that anyone is forced to use a gender neutral or family bathroom. Although I do think these aren't a bad idea for a number of reasons. Also, I don't think that the reason for segregated or distinct bathrooms, is to re-enforce a psychological gender.

Quote:And people partaking in this discussion who refuse to distinguish between genitalia and gender are simply WRONG.  You need to remove yourself from the debate and get educated before trying to come back in and speak on the behalf of the transgendered.

I don't think that the science is as clear as you make it out to be. But even if it is given that this is the case, I think that it is more your side that is failing to distinguish between biological sex, and gender in this case as much as you are accusing of it.
