(Michael Snyder) Should public facilities continue to offer separate bathrooms for men and women? In 2016, this has become a political “hot potato” that is causing emotions to run high on both sides of the debate. Many liberals consider the push for gender-neutral bathrooms to be on the cutting edge of the civil rights movement in the United States. Meanwhile, many conservatives consider separate bathrooms for men and women to be a matter of basic moral decency. What both sides of the debate can agree on is that this is an issue that is not going away any time soon.
Gender-neutral bathrooms are popping up in public places all over America, and the Obama administration has even installed one in the White House. Unfortunately, these gender-neutral bathrooms can have some very serious unintended consequences as you will see below. U.S. colleges and universities are at the center of this debate. All over the country student groups are pushing for gender-neutral restrooms, and many institutions of higher learning are now starting to implement them. The following comes from an editorial in the Harvard Crimson that addresses the transition that is now taking place at that university…FULL REPORT
I’ve been giving this some thought since it has come up recently. I can understand if transgender, men to women, even women to men, may not feel safe in the mens bathroom since the likelihood of men harassing them or becoming violent is a real possibility. I would not want to see anyone get beaten or worse because someone does not like who they are. However, allowing non females in to the female restrooms will only increase the likelihood of any male coming in and possibly doing things that are highly inappropriate at best. Why can’t places just install single bathrooms where anyone can use them and keep the integrity of the mens/womens room there. There seems to be a lack of common sense, addressing everyone’s concerns, having safety be of the utmost importance. Why are we living in a society that has become so increasingly polarized that common sense is not even considered anymore?
It’s just plain wired and perverse but hey left wing liberals are a bunch of mamby pamby queer feminists so what do u expect my god who is a God of piece but also a god of war says these weirdos are an abomination so that’s what they are praise King Jesus lord father jehova
Obama and all his liberal buddies sure did a hell of a good job uniting this country,
didn’t they?
Gender neutral bathrooms should never be in a public arena why? Men and Women never used the same public bathrooms before, so why should it be any different now? All that is required is to build an extra bathroom to cater for the LGTB etc.Problem solved then everyone is happy.
