[@mdk] Bathroom use was never legally enforced at all, trans people used bathrooms corresponding with their gender without incident for quite a while until this law craze popped up.

So with the new laws, they began the genital inspections at the bathroom stall?

[i]let's spare the leading questions and skip to the point[/i]

[url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/23/us/transgender-bathroom-policies/index.html]Here's the actual history of bathroom access[/url]. Laws overwhelmingly trended progressive -- in 49 out of 50 states, the laws your talking about do not exist and never existed and never are going to exist. North Carolina [s]is[/s] [b]was[/b] the one and only state with a ([b]short-lived[/b])biological sex rule; three other states (including Mississippi, misleadingly labeled the same color as NC on CNN's very fake news infographic) allow the decision to be made at a local level. This is the 'law craze' you speak of.

Let's examine that again. Three states in the USA, out of 50, allow local governments and/or businesses to have their own policies. As these policies are [i]entirely unenforceable,[/i] that is the moral equivalent of three states allowing people to express an opinion on a controversial matter.

What I am positing is not that NC was in the right. They weren't. I am not positing that 46 other states were in the right. They weren't. I'm saying that three states which said "Not my problem, you make up your own damn mind" are the only ones granting their citizens real actual freedom on this issue, and I commend them for that. Those are the states doing it right, and if I owned a business in one of those states (I don't), you could use whatever bathroom you wanted.

Except the handicap bathroom, because that's mine. Incidentally, disabled people who look non-disabled get grief/hassled/harassed all the time -- MORE OPPRESSION POINTS FOR ME WOOT I AM RUNNING AWAY WITH THIS CONTEST
