A predator will be a predator, no matter what laws there are or aren't. Want to get rid of predators in bathrooms? The ONLY way is to ban all public bathrooms.

When my daughter was 2, she would see a picture of a boy/man with long hair and she would say it was a girl because she said boys have short hair and girls have long hair. It wasn't about the penis or vagina at that point.

No one taught her that. She observed it in her own life. All the boys she knew in her life had short hair. All the girls had longer hair.

Mack Beggs, the transgender wrestler from Euless Trinity High School, got his pursuit of a Class 6A state girls wrestling championship off to a solid start Friday with a first-round victory.
Earning a major decision over League City Clear Spring's Taylor Latham in the 110-pound division, Beggs remained undefeated on the season and advanced to Friday afternoon's quarterfinals against Mya Engert of Amarillo Tascosa.
Latham gave Beggs as much as he could handle, avoiding being pinned and taking the match the distance.
Beggs, a 17-year-old junior, entered the UIL Wrestling State Tournament under controversy as a transgender wrestler. Beggs was born a girl and is transitioning to male. He has been taking testosterone since Oct. 2015.

Nobody is denying these concerns or "fears" but they are unfounded and based on the slanderous notion that allowing transgender people to use the facilities that are best to them will lead to rape and molestation. 7 out of 9 rapes or molestations are committed by someone a person knows and transgender people have been using the bathrooms all along before this became the next big scare tactic.

Why can someone choose their gender, but not their race? Race is actually much more arbitrary than gender, yet when it comes to your race, you aren't allowed to be what you want. Rachel Dolezal.

People don't choose their gender. Did you choose yours or did it come to you naturally just because?
