Although LGBT people and transgenders have been around since the dawn of time, this bathroom thing is a relatively new phenomenon.
With a really easy solution.
1. USE THE HANDICAPPED OR FAMILY STALL!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! They have them at Target and basically every major store, school, or building. I use them, and I'm not transgender or handicapped. I just like the cleanliness and quietness.
2. In a situation where there is no such bathroom available, then go outside. I used to do that, when the handicapped washrooms were occupied at the college I went to. The bathrooms were filthy, they made the entire halls stink like stale urine, feces, and a thin veil of cleaning chemical which was never enough. Also, peeing on the plants is healthy for them. I used to pee in my organic homemade fertilizer, to add extra nutrients.
3. Learn self defense if you're being harrassed in a washroom.
Men and women's washrooms have been separated since the dawn of time for a reason. Privacy, and safety. If I had a daughter, who was 10, it would be inappropriate for me to take her into the mens room, like you would a smaller child (3-6?). I would not feel safe with her going to the bathroom, with a potential predator in the washroom.
Not that all transgenders or even most are predators, but there is always that 0.1% chance that some pervert is going to take advantage of this whole bathroom issue, and there are going to be assaults, harassment, and just general inappropriate behaviour.
It's not worth the 0.1% chance of that happening.
This washroom business has gone way too far. We had a transgender at our highschool, M to F, he still used the male washroom, no one bothered him for it.
^THIS!
