Gov. Charlie Baker, under pressure to take a position on the Legislature's transgender rights bill, "believes people should use the restroom facility they feel comfortable using," his office said yesterday, offering the governor's strongest statements on the issue so far.
Baker was responding to remarks by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, who objected to a controversial North Carolina law, saying at an NBC Today Show town hall event, that North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now" and let people use the bathroom they prefer. The new law in North Carolina requires transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond to their gender at birth in public buildings.
Baker has already voiced opposition to the North Carolina law.
"Governor Baker is pleased Massachusetts public schools adhere to policies that accommodate transgender students' needs and believes employers should also accommodate transgender individuals' needs. The governor supports 2011 transgender protections and believes no one should be discriminated against based on their gender identity, and looks forward to reviewing a bill should the legislature act. Lastly, Governor Baker believes people should use the restroom facility they feel comfortable using," spokeswoman Lizzy Guyton said in a statement.

“Peversion by force”
Why would any public official promote a sexual male pervert watching a little girl or teen aged girl on a toilet in light of criminal statutory law. Have we lost our collective minds?
When the Insane take over it’s Insane
Ask Trump.
Cross dressing, pills, surgery or “feeeeeelings” will not change gender, nothing will. No such thing as a transgender, may as well back bathroom laws for leprechauns.
Do I assume any person can enter any bathroom without having to announce their gender?
Trump said “leave it to the states”?? Is that ok or do you want an executive order from him?
America has totally descended into madness.
At this point, no election is going to remotely solve anything. America itself is no longer suffering from a cancer, but has become a cancer unto itself.
Why aren’t transgender males allowed to play on women’s sports teams? Isn’t that discriminatory?
No Wendle. Trump said transexuals should use the bathroom they FEEL appropriate. After Cruz smacked him around about it Hannity had Trump on to rescue Donald from his inner liberal. Hence the states rights bs.
The entire Western world is collapsing....it’s just a matter of when TSHTF & it all goes south.
Never heard that and he never said that. He said “ LEAVE IT AS IT IS”!!! Why are they doing this in North Carolina. — The criminal was clear. Just take these perverts to jail. That is all he said!!
Look Wendle, that’s what he said.
I think maybe it just keeps sloping down. There might not be any huge event that triggers a do over. It might just keep heading one way. They are pretty slick with their timing, and never seem to pull anything when enough good people would actually put up a fight.

Don’t you remember Renee Richards?
This bathroom nonsense will last about as long as it takes for the first young girl to be cornered alone and raped in some women’s room by some bearded guy who claims he decided he felt like a woman and needed to use the accommodations after he saw the girl was going to use them also - might not even take a suit for millions of dollars if the incident happens to take place in a Target store or ESPN facility.....
The polity of potty retraining. I don’t think many saw it coming.
