NEW YORK CITY, March 11, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) -- New York Mayor Bill de Blasio issued an executive order giving men the right to use women's bathrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa.
The mayor's edict is called, "Access to Single-Sex City Facilities Consistent With Gender Identity and Expression." It means that all New York City single-gender facilities must accommodate both sexes, including city buildings and offices, parks, children's playgrounds, swimming pools, and more, all access given without showing identification or any proof of gender.
Mayor de Blasio declared that transgenders using opposite sex bathrooms and locker rooms "is a fundamental human right that should not be restricted or denied to any individual."
Ironically, he added, "Every New Yorker should feel safe in our city." Critics question whether the mayor includes those who do not feel safe in public showers and toilets that the opposite sex may undress in and use, or if he only refers to making the gender confused feel more comfortable in their ailment.
“Mayor Bill de Blasio’s executive order suffers from three fatal flaws," Stephen P. Hayford, Communications Director for New York's Family Research Foundation, told LifeSiteNews. "First, like Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent transgender regulation, the Mayor’s order addresses an issue that should have been handled (if at all) through legislative action."
"Second, the Mayor’s order is based on the confused notion that a person’s gender is a legal construct ‘assigned at birth,’ rather than a biological reality," Hayford explained.
"Third, and most importantly, the Mayor’s order completely fails to take into account the negative impact that opposite-sex restroom and locker room use by ‘transgender’ individuals in City facilities would have upon other users of those facilities.”
Family Policy of Washington Executive Director Joseph Backholm was one of the critics questioning de Blasio, suggesting that transgender people aren't the only ones who need to feel safe and whose rights need to be protected.
"All have legal rights to privacy," Backholm said. "The problem is governments choosing one person's rights over everybody else."
"Everybody has an interest here, and we need to behave like adults and make sure that nobody gets to say my rights trump your rights because I say so," he said.
This is simply making it easier for pedophiles and rapists.

The city needs to be hit with a multi-million dollar lawsuit after the first attack happens.
Please mark satirical articles as satire.
And please tell me that this is satire...
Women should sue simply based on the possible threat/stress to them by just walking into a ladies room now. And the sheer stupidity of it.
He has no legal authority to issue or enforce such an order. He is not a king. Ignore this with impunity.
The first rape or assault will change minds quickly.
I love Staten Island. I love many things about NYC.
I HATE the politics.
under Giuliani, it was good. He CRUSHED crime and nonsense.
this guys a ####.
I don’t see a peaceful way out of turning the country back. I hope i’m wrong.
small deviant groups never seem to learn that their deviancies, while tolerated, are not thought upon highly, and we don’t want it shoved in our faces.
although with the indoctrination of the past 20 years, most under 30s think it’s great.
What could go wrong?
Yer honor, when I went in I expressed myself as a female but then I saw her and expressed myself as a male. I didn’t know it was gonna happen.
“Everybody has an interest here,”
And as mayor of the city of New York DeBlasio doesn’t give a “rats ass” about the interest of most of them. Who in their right mind would have voted for him? or have endorsed him?
And the insanity continues!
Ahh, for the good old days! 100 years ago this pervert would be hanged from the nearest lampost.
Funny thing, that. So many of these servants have been treated with fawning media, the trappings of royalty, and even described as "aristocracy" and "elites", that they seem to actually think they are 'the ruling class'. Now they are starting to act that way.
How does a woman ‘ignore’ it? We wouldn’t be the actors, we’d be the ones exposed to the ‘actors’ whom the mayor is enabling.

This is the same cretin that called Donald Trump a racist yesterday and I’m only calling him a cretin.
Big victory for pedophiles, rapists, and foot tappers in and out office in NYC. I bet they’re high and low fiving on this decision. If I were a woman in NYC I would carry a concealed handgun in violation of the stupid illegal law to deal with the homosex assaulters and never let any of my young granddaughters go into one alone. This isn’t going to end pretty. We know why they passed this ordinance and it has absolutely nothing to do with equality.
All ladies sharpen your knives. Any male who deems it necessary to use the ladies room out to be obliged by you to help him achieve his goal of removing all male parts so he can sit down to pee.
The people of NYC are getting just what they voted for. Elections have consequences as they say.
And you can bet that assaults will go way up. How many will actually die as a result of this foolishness.
I can tell you one thing for certain, I would never again let my daughter use a public restroom unattended. I would be right there outside the stall waiting for her.
Is the mayor also accepting liability as well?
