Transgender ruling, boy allowed in girl's locker room.
 
I'm pretty damn liberal, but this is going too far. They gave every accommodation to this trans boy with male parts, but he demanded full access to be in the girl's locker room, shower, dress, etc...

Question is, if this is the future, will all restrooms, locker rooms, etc, just be unisex and would you be OK with it?

Do our children that don't want to see the nakedness or share showers with others of the opposite gender, does this invade their privacy rights?

I'm sure no woman would mind this person being in the restroom with her, of course.

Which transgender has to register with selective service?

If unisex restrooms had seperate cubicles then I see no problem with it. After all you only remove clothing in the cubicle itself so where's the harm. You'd need the cubicle to run floor to ceiling and have a good internal lock to prevent perverts, but otherwise it should work fine.

We get those in Russia nowadays. So that is fine, but the changing rooms are different I think.

Pha, we used to share one locker room in high school with girls because we'd otherwise have to share the boys locker room with a rival class (and the rival girls we're using the boys locker room).
So we saw eachother in underwear, big deal. My boxer shorts we're clean. No one was raped, no one got pregnant, no one is traumatised today and that one gay in class was gay before high school.

Yes.
Because such seperation was never forced upon me and the first time I saw female genitalia was when I was 5 or 6, reading the family medical manual and I walked away from it un-affected.
I shudder to think what trauma would be caused by my mother freaking out over it.

In this part of the world the future is here. I was at the local university sports complex to watch my grandson play hockey. There it was, a gender neutral washroom. Funny thing is it was just a single user washroom. You go in by yourself and you lock the door. Ah political correctness, it may be correct but it's not efficient.

As long as there is the means for absolute privacy for each individual (lockable cubicle) I wouldn't have thought it should be too problematic.

CMON! YOU could read medical journals at FIVE! Or were u just ogling the pichers? I first saw that at a Star Trek movie...:shucks:and was severely traumatized! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...29/Sarlacc.jpgBut seriously, the TG- afflicted (technically handcapped-seeking benefits) used to come into my Social Security Appeal Court offices, and under the rules, we gave them their key of preference to the secured (ladies) restroom-The duties of Federal bailiffs are myriad- this was in the early turn of the 21st century before political correctness had fully set in. There were never any problems aside from initial squawks from old-school maven employees. One guy came to the court to resolve his claim four times and always used the ladies room but on the fourth visit:...he erred and (hastily) used the men's room...I 'dutifully' reported it to the ALJ in charge of his case who 'judiciously' cut the benefit 25%! :arrgh!: JUSTI$E occa$ionally prevail$ BBY!

That scene is from star wars, not star trek :O:

the manual was for ordinary folk, mostly layman terms.
And my mother used it for helping me learn to read. At 5 I was still reading by repeating each letter, I admit. The point was there be naked ladies and naked gents in there and I was not traumatised.

I think it is funny that this has to be pointed out for some people.

That's not a kukri, that's a sword :O:

Damn, that's from one old book :o
The dialect used in that book is 16th century Slovene.

My mother was never a panicky type, never tried to shield me from the world.
When I was bullied she told me to knock the bullies teeth out. I was a weakling so I failed :oops:
Plus she works in healthcare so medicine manuals were the obvious choice.

The ''exposure'' to the opposite gender made me a better person. I'm a perfect gentleman that respects other peoples privacy and I turn my back if a woman is comfortable next to me, but didn't invite me to watch. I Blame it on the fact that naked people were never taboo for me so I find it very un-special and fin dno need to drool ''bewbz'' every time I see breasts.

Taboos create interest. You want your child to become profoundly interested in something ??? Forbid it to him/her !!!!!!

I'm with Betonov on this one. Our family doctor used to leave out a wide variety of magazines and journals in his waiting room and, from as long as I remember to my mid-teens, I used to spend quite a bit of time browsing through tomes such as The New Yorker, National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, etc., not to mention a large number of medical journals, mostly surgical, since our doctor was a pediatric surgeon. I was able to read 2nd grade books and more by the time I was 4 years old, so I was exposed to a lot of interesting material in that waiting room. Along with the encouragement to read I was getting from my grandfather, I credit those hours spent in that waiting room for instilling in me not only a love of reading, but, also, a love of reading very diverse subjects. So, if Betonov says he was perusing med manuals at age 5, I would be inclined to believe him...


<O>

Betonov 11-04-15 03:43 PM

I did write it like I knew what tracheotomy was at 5 :oops:
That was my mistake.
