25. Hmm... I'm on the fence about this.
"He said the "alternative bathrooms" could also be used by men or women who didn't mind sharing space with transvestites."

When I first read the headline I was rather shocked. My mind immediately flashed back to separate black/white bathrooms, but after reading that it is a bathroom for EVERYONE... well... I am still a tad on the fence, but I can certainly see the usefulness of it.

I know I certainly wouldn't mind a "gays only" bathroom, at least in service stations and other places where I travel on long road trips. The straight bathrooms are dirty as hell, and I feel like I need a shower just after WALKING into one. :p

Anyway, I am curious as to how those who are Transgendered feel about this. Does it feel like discrimination, or would this be something that is welcomed? I am still on the fence, I can see both the pro and the con for Transgendered people, but I am not a Tran so... How does this make you guys feel?
