And transphobic people will feel vindicated. This is not good for transsexuals, as they are already some of the most vulnerable people on Earth.

I'm surprised it didn't happening quicker considering Pence is the VP :(

I wonder just how much time governments spend simply undoing the stuff the previous government did

That said though, this is a change I'd agree with.

Why?

Why?

Because I don't think people should be able to walk in whichever bathroom they want just because they "feel" a certain way. Bathrooms (and certain other places) are separated by gender for a reason and "feelings" don't change those reasons.

Do you realize how many transsexuals attempt to commit suicide? It's about 41%:

Discriminating against them further will only make things worse. It's not like they decide "hey, I guess that I'll be a girl today, let's just walk into the women's bathroom." That's not how things work. Now, I'm not sure what your reason is for bathrooms being seperated by gender, but I assume it's because of risk of sexual assault. Well, transgenders are much more at risk of being sexually assaulted than sexually assaulting others:

I don't really have an opinion on that, because I don't mind transgender.
But I feel the argument sterms from the same ignorant one which is : "it's a choice to be gay".

LOL at the politics of the toilet. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. What's this daddy state up to?

Well I wouldn't consider telling those with a dick to use the mens room and those with a vagina to use the womens room to be discrimination so...

Then I guess we should just transition into unisex bathrooms.

He should really treat people equally. I mean Mexico is getting a really nice wall. I demand Trump Walls™ in front of every bathroom!

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Why would you separate by excreting organ though? It's not like it's impossible for vaginas to use the men's room or the other way around.

Did you just assume its gender?
