One of the local county councils has a bill pending that would allow the transgendered full recognition of them in the gender they wish (I think I'm saying that right.)
One of the ways the bill would protect them is to allow the transgendered to use the rest room of the gender with which they self identify.
Opponents say that could cause crime (against women) to increase with men dressing as women to gain entry to women's rest rooms.
Whaaaaaa?
Because the law now bars genetic men from using women's rooms, that sort of crime can't happen????????
Its tough to make a cogent argument when you have no logical basis. But make an argument they do.

(67,108 posts)they view this bill in terms of being a rapist than equality ... like this can't happen now. Every time I listen to R logic, my IQ drops.

(9,796 posts)What I think they're trying to say is that, because some transgender women look somewhat masculine, there won't be a reason to kick someone out of a ladies room because they look masculine.
Of course, the chain of logic instantly breaks down when you realise that some "born" women look pretty masculine too.
Really, it's just an "eww, icky" law.
