Bathroom Bills – Here We Go Again

January 7, 2017 by DoneWithReligion

There seems to be a lot of talk again in some states about the so-called bathroom bills. I have to say, I just do not understand why people are making this to be such a big deal. There have been transgender people for a long, long time and they have used the bathroom of choice without any problem.

bathroomlawsNow the government gets involved and tries to legislate what they feel is right and we have a big mess. Not only does this confuse the situation but makes many transgender people and women afraid to even go into a bathroom. Transgender people do not know if they will get yelled at or beat up, and women do not know if there will be a pervert waiting from them when they go in.

I think the main problem with this situation is that people confuse transgender with perverts. Transgender people are NOT perverts and they are NOT going into bathrooms to molest anyone. They are simply going into the bathroom they identify with to use it, nothing more. Perverts have always been an issue and perverts are going to take advantage of this situation but that does not give anyone a right to discriminate against transgender people.

Transgender people are going to do what they have been doing for all these past years…. going into the bathroom they identify with for natural reasons. I think it is time to stop all the arguing, condemning, judging and discrimination and accept people for who they are. We do not even have to agree on the choices others make, but we should be able to respect and treat each other with kindness.

    Yes, I agree. It is unfortunate but like I said in the article, there are many perverts who will take advantage. Thanks for your comment.

    I think most who oppose it do so because of the predators who might take advantage of these laws.

    Thank you!! So very well stated. Speaking and writing don’t come easily to me, and this beautifully relays what I know to be true, so I’m going to refer people to your article the next time I see or hear mention of this issue. It should not BE an issue. Thanks again.
