More Americans Oppose Men Using Women's Bathrooms, Reuters Polling Finds
The Christian Post ^ | 25 Apr 16 | Samuel Smith

Posted on 04/25/2016 2:28:25 PM PDT by xzins

Reuters data from April 22 finds that only about 40.9 percent of 1,753 respondents say "people should use public restrooms according to the gender which they identify." Meanwhile, about 45 percent of respondents said "people should use public restrooms according to their biological sex."

The April 22 results represent an approximate 10 percentage-point increase in the number of people who believe everyone should use restrooms designated for their biological sex in just nine days.

According to results obtained by Reuters on April 13, only about 35 percent of 331 respondents felt people should use bathrooms designated for their biological sex, while 46 percent responded by saying they believe people should be allowed to use the restroom of the sex with which they identify.

Support for allowing transgender people to use opposite sex bathrooms reached its lowest point on April 19, when only 37.7 percent of 1,780 respondents said they felt people should be allowed to use the bathroom of the sex with which they identify.

The data indicates that the general public may not be embracing the left's transgender bathroom agenda

But bathrooms are some of the most expensive rooms to install, especially taking ADA into account.
So you end up with big box stores being open but all the small businesses shut down unable to comply.

However, a very sensitive nerve in the public sensibilities has been located. Trump kind of fumbled on that. He went all pragmatic. In doing so, he just dissed the final fig leaf left to America.

Excellent point.

Why is it, that the Left continues to succeed every four years in this regard? This is "Rules for Radicals" Rule #4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules". They did it to us back in '12 with contraception. What's the purpose? Not to raise the issue for discussion, but as a "gotcha" for our candidates, and to keep us from concentrating on the REAL issues that are affecting this nation.

Sure Trump blew it. He's now trying to walk away from stepping into it. And Cruz, instead of saying "Yes, this is important, but let's stay focused on what is really hurting our nation," jumped right into it to score some cheap political chops.

But more to the point, Republicans are falling into the Left's sleazy ploy all over again, only this time it's Potties instead of contraception.

We never learn.

I would maintain this is a theological and church issue. And perhaps even advantageous to evangelism. Churches can now advertise things like: where did your sexuality go? well, we can show you where it came from. And get a meaningful response.

I like that.

When Did It Become Controversial To Keep Men Out Of The Women’s Bathroom? I had the impression that the Same Sex movement was about LGBT receiving benefits as spouses. such as retirement and healthcare.

gay people or Lesbians are going to use the opposite sex bathroom. this problem makes up such a small percentage of transvestite and BiSexual that change back to the other sex tomorrow out of confusion. This war on women was created by the Democrats in the White e honest about this, how many House!

The media refuses even to consider there is no requirement in these laws for sex change operations, cross-dressing, hormone treatment, or even cosmetic enhancement.

it is disgusting. Letting men use females bathrooms and it is not just bathrooms, it is locker rooms at gym’s swimming pool,s etc.

Enough is enough with this mental illness. You are born with a penis then you are male end of.

Like hell any man will ever go to a locker room, bathroom etc where my 15 year old daughter is using.

Take my chance with a jury and judge than put my daughter in a dangerous position.

Wendy’s gets by all over the country with just a one seater lockable restroom.

ADA is not obstructed at all by private bathrooms.

If only our side stood up and ask these supporters would let their daughter share a shower in a locker room with their teen daughter.

Simply speaking ones gender identity into existence leads to all kinds of unintended circumstances. How will this be dealt with at the Olympic Games...

Last Census I filled out the form correctly by stating that I am a 60 something Caucasian, I then signed the form attesting to the fact that the information was correct under penalty of perjury. If next time I provide information stating that my ancestry has changed to Japanese or Native American, would I be perjuring myself?

I’ll bet all it would take in the court of liberal opinion is a little note stating you’d changed your sense of identity.

Target actually uses unicorns and rainbows in their commercials.

I am not making this up.

Speaks volumes.

Most of us never thought this would be a matter of public dispute, so we are less than articulate in our objections.
Whereas, many schoolkids under 30 have grown up with most their teachers promoting this belief system, and either ignoring or making fun of anyone who dares to object.
We conservatives are still finding out collective voices on this most uncomfortable topic.

The PR and PC conscious businesses like the NBA won’t listen until the silent majority threaten or actually not watch or buy tickets anymore.

I just cannot understand how any American would want free-for-all restrooms. Perverts, yes. Normal Americans, not a chance.
