The women's room seems to be the worst place to see women. What is so awesome about seeing women $hit and piss? Can someone explain to me why someone would want to see a woman's $hit caked a$$? Do these guys realize that women use restrooms in order to get rid of bodily waste? Yes, Republican men, women, although they piss in a different way than men, piss and $hit just like men. In addition, there are doors on women's restroom stalls, so I do not know what a man would see if he actually went into a women's restroom in order to look at women.

If a man, or a boy wants to see women, he would do better to try to find an old copy of a Playboy magazine, or some other type of nude magazine. A man, or a boy will not see more in a women's restroom then he would see just sitting in the store, or the school ground and watching women and girls walk by. Going to a beach would also be a better way to see women's bodies.

about what actually goes on in bathrooms. Speaking from personal experience, bathrooms are about as boring as they sound- and in the matter of some public restrooms, are places that should be avoided (or vacated as quickly as possible) as a matter of personal hygiene/public health safety. Most people typically just want to get in and do their business and leave. Don't know many people whom just want to sit around socialize much while eliminating bodily fluids. I don't what kind of restrooms wingnuts are visiting and what is going on in them but I don't really care to know either.

but you might want to be mindful of the fact that some Transgender persons are sensitive about their ability to pass as their identified gender.

*Though I'm fairly certain that Louie Gohmert is not one of them (neither Transgender as far as we know nor sensitive).

Idiotic statements like this also further prove that they have absolutely no f*****g clue what it really means to be Transgender.

Basically, he means he would have used it as an excuse if he got caught in the girl's room. Cuz that's pretty much what he must think of LGBTs: just a bunch of pervs lying to themselves and others so they can get away with something. Another fine example of Republican projection.

I'm not sure if Gohmert is really this stupid or if his entire career has been one huge piece of performance art.

Even IF there was a law that allowed transgenders to use the women's restroom, doesn't excuse ANY man to dress as a woman to sneak into the women's bathroom. That would STILL remain illegal, subject to ARREST and charges, possibly being designated as a sexual predator, on police records for a lifetime. CLAIMING to be transgender is not going to work for any man and NOT WORTH getting caught.

So while delusional rethugs worry about the highly unlikely scenario of a dude taking the time to dress in drag just to get to unsuspecting women in the bathroom, they've inadvertently given cover to actual pedophiles/rapists.

Look, I know men's bathrooms have urinals so if you go in there you're gonna see dicks. Flaccid, peeing dicks. I'm a long time fan of dicks but let's just say that's not their most impressive work. So I guess the less clued-in men think there's some level of analogous nudity in women's bathrooms?

A women's bathroom is a row of stalls and a row of sinks. All there is to see is women washing their hands. No shame if you're REALLY into that, but really, you could stand in there all day long without seeing anything salacious.
