When I was a child growing up in The South, during the Segregation Era, Most places had three restrooms and some even four, for whites and ‘coloreds’. I thought it was stupid, even as a child
I could see it was terribly expensive to build these extra facilities.

Now, it looks like history is repeating itself....................

This bathroom crap is about one thing: forcing everyone to accept the leftist dogma about “gender” being a continuum, and not binary.

One slit trench accepts all. Geeeez, one standard enclosed bathroom with a sink and mirror will meet any requirement.
Why does this have to be a BFD?

Gender Neutrality is BS!!!!!

If You have a groin pistol that you were born with you're a Male.

If you were born with a pistol holster for that groin pistol, you're Female.

This shouldn’t be anywhere near SCOTUS. It is a civility, morals and common decency issue.

Larger bathrooms need fewer sinks than toilets. Even with the same number of stalls, it would serve fewer women per minute. The toilet sits empty and unused while they wash. Extra plumbing devices and longer lines.

Children of both sexes already use the women's bathroom, now guys dressed as women do? A lot more men want to use the womens room than vice versa. We already have lines twice as long as the mens bathroom, this will only make it worse. This should be a women's issue.

Because it’s not really about bathrooms, it’s about forcefully redefining language and your concept of gender. It’s about the left imposing its delusions on the country by force.

It’s what they’ve done by calling a baby a fetus, and redefining marriage as gay marriage, calling a man a wife, a woman husband and on and on.

It’s called a culture war, and they’re winning it, especially in the courts.

Also changing all the bathrooms to single stalls is not a trivial thing, it would cost billions.

Thank you for referencing that article SeekAndFind. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

”… to the Obama administration’s reinterpretation of Title IX law [emphasis added] ..."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots are reminded that they need to get into the following habit. Every time we hear of a federal law, Title IX in this example, we need to find if the states had expressly constitutionally granted corrupt Congress the specific power to make the law in the first place.

And given that Title IX established sex-related protections it’s easy to find that Title IX is unconstitutional, imo, for the following simple reason.

Since the only sex-related protection that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals only with voting rights, evidenced by the 19th Amendment, and politically correct transgender bathroom rights are clealy outside the scope of voting rights, Title IX is unconstitutional imo.

Unfortunately, the misguided, institutionally-indoctrinated Supreme Court has been wrongly “amending” new politically correct rights to the Constitution from the bench with a tortured interpretion of the 9th Amendment, the so-called “right” to have an abortion a good example. But such “rights” are based on stolen state powers.

After all, activist justices are ignoring that there is nothing stopping the states from amending the Constitution with new express rights at their pleasure.

Consider that the congressional record shows that John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, had clarified that when the states ratified the 14th Amendment, they obligate themselves to respect only those rights that they amend the Constitution to expressly protect.

But when the post-FDR era Court wrongy establishes new rights from the bench, it ignores the following. A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that interpretations of the Constitution are not to be based on interpolations.

Here are supporting excerpts from the congressional record and Supreme Court case opinion.

Again, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect having an abortion as a right, or establish sex-related protections outside the scope of voting rights. So federal laws protecting such politically correct rights are unconstitutional imo, such “rights” wrongly based on stolen state powers.

Sadly, all that the G.G. v. Gloucester County School Board case is doing is giving state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices another opportunity to “amend” new, politically correct rights to the Constitution from the bench, just as they did with abortion and gay “marriage."

Nope. What you will see is every bathroom will become either a single stall unisex bathroom, or like in Europe where you have multiple stalls, but each one locks and has solid walls and a door.

I know you’re joking. BUT FYI it takes A LOT of time and cleanup to handle menstruation and its byproducts. So shut up. Glad I’m too old.

Love,
Rhoda

Re: menstruation...

Just stay pregnant as God intended and you don’t have to worry much about all that either. Be fruitful and multiply!
