OK - there are just so many amazing things in the news right now. My head spins. But recent ongoing coverage about public bathrooms and why some individuals apparently can't use them tops the list.
All of the fuss seems to be concentrated on transgendered individuals, born into the wrong body......and while they try to live their lives in the way that meets their needs, it means they can't go into the bathroom that reflects their non-birth gender.
This amazes me because guess what folks.....you have been using public bathrooms with transgendered individuals for years. You just didn't know it. Because what goes on in the stall is private and doesn't affect anyone else in the facility. You wash your hands at the sink standing next to people using the facilities, you dry your hands, you check your hair in the mirror or pick the piece of broccoli off your teeth and you leave the room. Business finished.
Sometimes there is brief conversation or comment....but often not.
And if you think you don't have any LGBT friends or acquaintences you are wrong......they are just afraid to tell you.
So......with this latest tempest in a teapot I wonder just how this will be "policed"? Every bathroom in every public area.....restaurants, museums, airports, stores, office buildings etc....will now need someone to provide bathroom security? A person, probaby in uniform, who will ask to see your birth certificate??? Or maybe a penis patrolman who asks you to drop your trousers to prove your gender before you can enter the bathroom? Really?
Then again the United States does seem to need to create new jobs to replace some of those heading overseas....so maybe this is one way to solve that problem.
But would it be minimum wage?
