Unless you intend to impement draconian measures to keep perverts from the rooms, to keep them from being perverts, how do you intend to PROTECT little girls?

Being Trans* is not, for the billionth time, a mental illness ... it is a matter of GENDER IDENTITY.
And we all have GENDER IDENTITY. Many of us but not all have a GENDER IDENTITY that matches our assigned BIOLOGICAL SEX.
Some people have a condition called GENDER DYSPHORIA.
Persons experiencing gender dysphoria need a diagnostic term that protects their access to care and won’t be used against them in social, occupational, or legal areas. When it comes to access to care, many of the treatment options for this condition include counseling, cross-sex hormones, gender reassignment surgery, and social and legal transition to the desired Gender Dysphoria gender. To get insurance coverage for the medical treatments, individuals need a diagnosis.
The Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Work Group was concerned that removing the condition as a psychiatric diagnosis—as some had suggested—would jeopardize access to care. Part of removing stigma is about choosing the right words.
Replacing “disorder” with “dysphoria” in the diagnostic label is not only more appropriate and consistent with familiar clinical sexology terminology, it also removes the connotation that the patient is “disordered.” Ultimately, the changes regarding gender dysphoria in DSM-5 respect the individuals identified by offering a diagnostic name that is more appropriate to the symptoms and behaviors they experience without jeopardizing their access to effective treatment options.

Gender identity is bs.
There are men and women period, this is impossible to change.
A man can never be a woman, a woman can never be a man.
Besides, wasn't it the left that spouts the retarded view that boys and girls are exactly the same and society tells boys they like cars and guns and girls like dolls?
Well which is it, is gender a thing or not.
Either it is and a girl can feel like a boy, or it isn't and this transgender thing is stupid.
Plz enlighten me, you lefties contradict yourself so often I can't remember if I'm a racist or a bigot or a transphobe at any one point in time.

so wait I thought homosexuality and transgender are two different things now you just inform us that Hereros tend to be cross dressers. Are you telling us that it's really hetero guys doing the transgender thing ... Or are you telling us that cross dressers don't intersect with transgender or are you just making this up as you go along? I tend to think its the latter.
Sexual Orientation (who you are sexually attracted to) is in the brain, its hard wired.
Gender Dysphoria (what gender you see yourself as) is in the brain, its hard wired.
Sexuality "physical" is what's between your legs.
Self identification or problems are indeed a mental disorder. Where you aware there are people that think they are dogs. Sexual preference appears to be genetic the two are not related. Being gay doesn't make you a cross dresser or for that matter lead to gender confusion. They have no confusion they know what sex they are attracted to and know what sex they are. Then you have Jenner in every respect still a guy likes women however likes to dress as a woman and be a woman I think in his case he thought being a woman would be better being unhappy in his life.

More propaganda. They already have a suspect and police have stated it has nothing to do with the Trans bathroom policy.

The real question is this: why is this the hot topic pushed by the media right now when trans people have been using the bathroom they feel most comfortable in since the dawn of time?
