A lot of ATSers see the bathrooms as the problem when it's really a sexual predator problem. It's like banning public parks because of the high rates of rapes and muggings.
The rapists and muggers will still exist whether there are parks or not.

I just want to point out that you got misled by the OP. This has nothing to do with legislation. The trans person (who hasn't been convicted we should keep in mind) was a family friend and that the sexual assault allegedly occurred in a bathroom at a private residence.
So was the person really transgender....
Do true transgender still have heterosexual tendencies? I'm really asking this question, not to troll.

If any of you are fathers (or Mothers!), and some depraved nutjob did something like this to YOUR kid, in YOUR bathroom, in YOUR house, what would be odds that this sick, twisted @#%$ would ever leave your place alive?

These "bathroom inclusive laws" are only giving all sorts of male perverts an excuse to be get into women's bathrooms.
Really?
What was to prevent them from doing so before those "bathroom inclusive laws?"
We need laws to prevent priests from going to the public bathrooms.

Propaganda piece?... not really... What makes you think that this couldn't happen or hasn't happened in other cases in public restrooms?... Because it has happened.

Yep, it took place in the bathroom the girl's family apartment and the perp was a family friend. So, this has nothing to do with Target, or Trans bathroom rights.
The perp is also a transgender who identifies as a woman, so yes it does have a lot to do with public bathrooms because if this hadn't happened in a private bathroom it could have happened in a public bathroom,
It happened in a private bathroom in a private home, not a public bathroom. Your point is therefore irreverent. Assault is assault.
