I regularly post on Yahoo Answers, answering questions about the transgendered and cross dressing. (My Yahoo profile). I really enjoy helping people come to terms with their transgenderedness, or that of a loved one. Recently Fire Falcon answered a question about the transgendered using the ladies bathroom, and I thought it was too good not to share with all of you:
[[One of my friends was ranting about how some transvestite was saying he wanted to be able to go to the ladies’ bathroom and all this other crap.]]
So what? A bathroom is for taking a leak and other such things. While I don’t necessarily agree with transvestites or crossdressers using the bathroom of the gender they are presenting as, I have no issue with it because GASP… Dressing like a girl and going into the men’s bathroom is asking to get your face beat in, and there’s already too much violence and hatred in this messed up world.
A transvestite, transgender nor a transsexual is coming in there to peer at your goodies or try and rape you– they’re coming to use the bathroom they feel is right for them, so they don’t get the crap beat out of them in the other bathroom. Calling the cops on someone who runs in, tinkles, washes their hands and runs back out is not only absurd, but borderlines on cruel.
For god’s sake, let people take a piss.
I think that pretty much says it all…
