The Liberal In Me

I don't really make it a secret, i'm a big ole bleeding heart.

So here's one that struck me as unnecessarily something to concern oneself today:

Transgender bathrooms. I dunno, don't ask me where the interpeople come up with this crap, but the backstory is that SUPPOSEDLY there is legislation in Pennsylvania to mandate Transgender people so that they have protection to go where they want.

Its been translated (if it exists...the only source I've heard of it from is a conservative who listens to Hannity...very well could have this way overblown...I could find neither hide nor hair of it on the web searchin) to mean that businesses will have to have transgender bathrooms.

UM.

Yeah.

My first thought was 'why don't we go unisex' how many problems would THAT solve for everyone. Stall up the urinals and have at it. We are adults or children who should be supervised by adults so why the heck not!!

But of course that is CRAZY talk and transgendered people are ucky and not deserving of care and SHOULD be treated like second class citizens and how oh how will we answer our childrens queries on why that woman has a *gasp* penis.
First: I doubt any child would see a womans penis (the argument is that it extends to locker rooms) and the parent should be with them in locker rooms to prevent rude staring at naked bodies anyway.
Second: Kids only know something is wrong once you tell them its wrong. If instead of making a disgusted face you just matter of factly explain that there are all sorts of different people in the world and thats what makes it so interesting, 10:1 the kid is going to drop it. Just drop it and move on to talk of other things.

Seriously...not that difficult of a concept people, really not.
