transgender BS

  In Rome you can visit the public restrooms that were in operation in the time of the Ceasers.

     They were unisex , but extremely so.

      There was a row of seats and slots above a gutter that was constantly flowing.

      Since those times we have changed our expectation of privacy, why did we do that?

As i witness several times women has busted into mensroom so shouldn't  men doing it be at a wait and see situation. Why complain since the reverse got press sovfar

The reason was, of course, the extreme prudishness of Jews, which was passed on to the Christians. Paul thought women should (1) always wear veils in public and (2) should refrain from saying anything in church.  Noah's sons saw Noah NAKED!!! They saw his junk!!!  Bad, bad things ensued. The Jews were not the only prides in the Middle East. Arabs were prudes both before and after Islam.  Salome was described as a horrible wicked woman, because she DANCED IN FRONT OF MEN! She was probably better clothed than mosy modern dance performers or the girls at Cirque de Soleil.

   So the basic reason for separating the sexes on occasions of necessary nudity is the comfort of prudes?

   Ok.

    So if a lot of us are prudes , is it better that we be uncomfortable?

I don't think that banning transgendered people from the bathrooms of their choice is an issue.

The Japanese bathe naked in unisex hot tubs.  I don't think that  this has caused them any major problems.

There is a saying in Japan "Nudity is often seen but seldom observed".

I note this saying does not work in the land of Larry Flint.

Yes how 'bout....
if you have a penis you use men's restrooms
if you have a vagina you use women's restrooms
pretty simple to understand uh?

[Plane]

Since the transgendered are modifying their bodies, why do none of them choose to have both?

[kimba1]

but a toilet can do both. When i want more privacy i use that for either function. Basicly unisex is fairly viable

So then, should everyone be obliged to show their equipment at the door?
Strangely, I do not think that is a useful solution.

Transsexuals are by definition people who have redefined themselves surgically

[kimba1]

Well thats where its get confusing and understandedly not spoken about. Transsexual are actually not as define as we think. I'll use caitlyn jenner as an example . She still has all original equipment and likely will keep it. Not all bother to go alll the way . The clothes and the surfaces changes tend to be enough for some.

Much like this thread, making mounrains out of molehills and not changing anything else.

[Xavier_Onassis]

I doubt that Caitlyn Jenner and those like her are seen as much of a threat to women.

I consciously avoid looking at other guy's junk in public restrooms, and so does everyone else.
If they had a blue banana there I doubt I would be aware of it.

Women have stalls and not urinals and far less to see.

[kimba1]

Alot of women are offended by caitlyn because she got woman of the year by some magazine . Say it takes a man to be woman of the year really offensive

[Xavier_Onassis]

They should blame those who gave her the award.
I fail to se why anyone should get upset over this.
