Tough to do. Health department rules and all that. Besides, even if you could, you'd have to decide which alleys were for whom, and the homeless would get really ticked off.
So far on the news, all the articles written by men suggest this is not a big deal, and the women need to buck up and get over it and accept it. On the other hand articles written by women say the complete opposite. Many see this as an avenue for predators. Women also take their children into the public bathrooms and believe this needs to be a safe zone. Recently we went to a music event in the San Luis Obispo area and because of this issue, I observed when women went to the restroom they went in pairs or 3 or 4. I said something to my wife about it and she said they go together for protection because there is when a female is most vulnerable. With that she leaned over to another couple we were with, and the two ladies went to the restroom together.
Women are the ones being targeted on the transgender issue. And once again women are being told to accept it, get over it, and move on. As my wife says, women are still being treated as 2nd class citizens and are the ones impacted by this. And its the “Democrat Men” that are ordering them to get over it. It pisses her off. And many of her female friends are pissed off by this. My oldest daughter who is 38 said this is the real war on women. Men once again telling women what to do with no regard for what they want or think
The de facto, if not de jure, rule has long been that if you were not otherwise bothering people, nobody cared what toilet you chose. Mothers would bring their little boys into the women’s room to go, so they could supervise them, BEHIND CLOSED STALL DOORS. Not “Johnny, take a look at Mrs. Smith’s je ne sais quoi.”
When this matter comes up for public discussion, immediately we think of the flaming drag queen or exhibitionist, the diametric opposite of discretion. And not without reason — matters that were kept under discretion never did gather this much public attention. The circumstances seem to scream drag queen or exhibitionist, and people are responding on this basis.
And yet, I wonder what is really going to happen. Will a place like Target become inundated with drag queens in its rest rooms? Dunno. I’d think it out of character for them.
I’m torn. I don’t want to see this become a big battle, but maybe the lefties won’t permit it to be anything but one. In which case I want to see the reaction be wise. I just can’t see policing people’s pants. Signs in bathrooms warning about exhibitionism and molestation (alongside of the commonly seen ones warning about shoplifting) might appear.
