You just said to find a reason.  I didn't say I bought into it.  Until the other statement I made above is proven false, I'm not going to prohibit them from pissing where they want because the parts that piss look different.

If you want to bust out Gender Identity Disorder, then I claim this country already caters to schizos and their disorders and beliefs propping them up.  Speaking of GID...

In December 2002, the British Lord Chancellor's office published a Government Policy Concerning Transsexual People document that categorically states, "What transsexualism is not ... It is not a mental illness."
 But I guess they're fringists, those wacky out-there, liberal British.  The French came to the same conclusion seven years later.  Then there's this dude, from crackpot Concordia ...
QUOTE
Concordia was ranked among Canada's 20 most reputable universities overall in the 2016 Maclean's university rankings. The university is ranked 16th in Canada and 411th worldwide by QS World University Rankings and is featured in the 2015 Times Higher Education ranking of the top 100 universities worldwide under 50 years old.  The university's John Molson School of Business is consistently ranked within the top ten Canadian business schools, and within the top 100 worldwide.  Moreover, Concordia was ranked 7th among Canadian and 229th among world universities in the International Professional Classification of Higher Education Institutions, a worldwide ranking compiled by the École des Mines de Paris that uses as its sole criterion the number of graduates occupying the rank of Chief Executive Officer at Fortune 500 companies.

... that says the entire diagnosis is bullshit.  The shrinks who disagreed with him have this awesome counterpoint...
QUOTE
He rejected the view he ascribed to Hill that “everything is socially determined” and that straying far from those expectations is an acceptable variance of human behavior.

Fuck you.  Who quantifies acceptability and distance in that statement?  Once upon a time, taking your god's name in vain or working on a holy day was enough to get you killed.  Fortunately, someone strayed the fuck away from that goddamn susperstition.

QUOTE
He also rejected Hill’s contention that “gender is not dichotomous,” with everyone somewhere between the two poles. All humans are “biologically one or the other” sex, Spitzer stated, and cultures view gender as a “dichotomy.”

That shows ignorance of basic biology, which is probably why he went into psych.

Trans people who are supported, have good mental health

QUOTE
“The thinking has always been that kids who are not acting gender-stereotypically are basically destined to have mental health problems,” said Olson, a UW assistant professor of psychology. “In our study, that’s not the case.”

Co-author Katie McLaughlin, a UW assistant professor of psychology, called the findings “incredibly promising.”

“They suggest that mental health problems are not inevitable in this group, and that family support might buffer these children from the onset of mental health problems so commonly observed in transgender people,” she said.

These are mostly clueless academics.  That's a pretty big discovery for some of them.

Hey Leisher, I heard the school system your girls go to is having some issue with transgender bathrooms. Fill us in on the facts and share your thoughts.

First I've heard of it. I went and looked it up and there's no details.

However, I assume it has to occur at the high school, which offers two gender neutral bathrooms. So I'm not sure why there would be a controversy unless someone is REALLY adamant about using a bathroom that their genitals aren't supposed to be in.

My wife saw it posted on facebook by one of the local TV stations.

Here it is, under federal investigation for Title IX violations, and the schools aren't letting the parents/taxpayers know.  Transparency!

The video said a student complained, in spite of there being unisex restrooms, he or she wanted to use... as you put it.. the one the genitals didn't belong in.

I dunno.

My local schools had one or two unisex restrooms back in the 70's and 80's, but I never stopped to wonder why.

This is the part that bugs me.

I'm probably looking at it completely wrong, but why is his or her rights of higher priority or value than the kids who use the bathroom he or she wants to use? Why can't he or she simply choose the gender neutral one?

Let's say it's a guy identifying as a girl. You know who doesn't need a male figure, even if he calls himself Karla, standing around judging them when they're vulnerable? Teenage girls.

And honestly, how long before it's a federal crime to lie about your sexual identity? Because we all know this is going to eventually get abused, if it hasn't already.

Statistically, the students of the school are the least likely to be offended by Karla going into the girls room with her friends just like any other girl in the school would.  It's likely only the parents that care.

As to fairness, there's various things that could be a problem that should be considered.  One is that we don't know the nature of the unisex bathrooms and how they are being used at the school.  Perhaps they suck.  Or for another complication, the last thing Karla needs is to be in the bathroom doing girl things and worrying about some male asshole bullies coming in to pick on her while she's trying to pee.  And of course there's the issue that the concept of "separate but equal" doesn't have very good standing in our legal system after the end of Jim Crow.

It's not simple.
