Could it be because men don't have vaginas? I'm afraid that could be the very reason. Bathrooms are designed according to genitals. You might not like it. You might think I am "appealing to authority," though appealing to rational design clearly makes more sense, but that is the way it is. Now, just as a lesson in what these logic terms you bandy about actually mean, an appeal to authority would go something like, "It is illegal for you to use the ladies room. Therefore, you should not use the ladies room." I said no such thing. The appeal to authority goes to Aractus, but I wouldn't expect anyone cares about the definitions of logic terms. *le sigh*
You're basically committing the appeal to definition fallacy or something very similar to it. This is at least the second time I've pointed this out to you.
There's nothing about the design of a women's bathroom that would prevent a transgendered kid from using it. They only differ from mens by the absence of urinals which aren't even necessary.
You have yet to offer an argument for excluding this kid that isn't just based what seems to be only your subjective sensibilities. You mentioned the possibility of the penis being seen through the crack of the stall but as I said in my last reply, that seems unlikely. And as I pointed out in my last reply you never offered a reason why seeing a penis is harmful anyway.
