(1,192 posts)One could argue the other way and say separation of sexes is prohibited under the 14th Amendment for Equality Laws. So, the argument could be, all bathrooms be unisex; no separations of male or female......
Ponder that for a moment..........
Any person can argue that all bathrooms are entitled to be used by anyone, for Equality clause of the 14th amendment......

(111,417 posts)while visitor facilities are divided. It always struck me as a little weird, especially since both featured toilets and sinks, no urinals.
The only plae I ever saw a sex divided bathroom useful for women was in old department stores that had pull down changing tables in the ladies'. No area to sit and nurse, but at least a place to change a diaper..
And that, I imagine, was the main reason for separating the bathrooms, men getting squicked out by infant care.

(9,903 posts)the crux of their whole problem. They could care less if I, a 65 year old female, walk around saying I'm and looking like a man. They are afraid they will be attracted to a person living as a female but formerly a guy. In their mind, this would mean that they were gay, which to them would be the end of the world as they know it. It's Caitlyn, not Chaz, who has their panties in a wad.

Warpy
(111,417 posts)and yes, that will be the outcome, short cis men getting beaten up in the gents and the fluttery variety of woman screaming to store management because a woman with a buzz cut was spotted in the ladies'.
It's so fucking stupid.

The new sign says " If you gotta go, then go. Use either restroom and lock the door."
This restroom stuff is such bullshit.

(15,976 posts)Daddy, Why is that woman using the mens restroom?
This will allow anyone to just claim they were born as a certain sex to gain access to any restroom they want.
I worry about transgendered women having to use the mens restroom, How many will be assaulted?
