Alright so if the moderators on here find this too controversial I apologize and go ahead and delete it. Anyways something popped up on my newsfeed that made me think of this question. Should there be such thing as neutral restrooms for the transgender?
 
There are "family" restrooms almost everywhere here. And, honestly, if I gotta go, I gotta go. I really don't think people need to be peeking into stalls to see what kind of equipment someone else has. I've shared restrooms with guys and aside from their bad aim, it ain't no big deal. I mean, literally, I'm in a stall doing my thing while a couple of guys were using the urinals. Seen one, seen 'em all.
 
Just so you guys know, the reason why I didn't mention family restrooms is because there aren't too many of them and if gender neutral restrooms really does become a thing, then at least there wouldn't be anymore protests or complaints.

Ones sex is determined at conception. it is set at the level of each cell so taking hormones does Not change ones sex, it only gives the appearance of changing sex, surgery is needed to alter the body, in children puberty blockers stop puberty rendering them infertile.

The pushing of transgender on impressionable children is nothing more than child abuse for sexual political purposes.

There is no scientific research that supports the transgender propergander.
 
i dunno. people are people, and people have to use the restroom, so...??? thankfully, im not in charge of public policy, lol.

i think trans-people need compassion and guidance, not what society+the medical establishment are selling. they also should be treated with basic civility and respect in day to day life, so..what to do, with such a small but vocal minority?
 
The risk I've heard is feeling safe. For women sharing the restroom (or locker room) with someone who use to be a man or identifies as a woman means that person can still overpower them if they are stronger. It's an understandable concern. The issue with transgender policies to either share restrooms, or to make new ones is that all a person would have to do is say they think of themselves as the other sex to go into the other bathroom. Not everyone is that sick, but some people are. In my opinion, it's worth the concern to reject transgender sharing policies.

Good point. Maybe if people want to hold transgender bathrooms, have them be a single tolite bathroom instead of multiple stalls. That would help my concern for safety.
 
Good point. Most people who are transgender don't look it and so how would you know if some of them who claim to be a certain gender were telling the truth?
 
This honestly shouldn't even be a debate. Trans people have existed for decades and they have been using the restroom as long. You can't normally tell because trans people work hard to pass as the gender they identify as, and it's not like people normally peep in on the stalls to be sure the person inside has the "right" stuff.
I honestly think it's only a debate because you got people claiming to be trans who don't actually work to transition, so they don't pass well or at all.

Exactly. If I see somebody that actually looks like a guy or a girl I'm not going to question it, but if I had a seven year old daughter that I found out later was sharing the same bathroom as a forty old man I would definitely be concerned. And I go by appearences not claims.
 
Personally. I could handle minding my own business in the restrooms, but the people's concern for sending their small children into a restroom alone is a valid concern and for that reason, there should not be gender neutral restrooms at all.

Transgender =/= pedophile or rapist
homosexual =/= pedophile or rapist
pedophile or rapist = pedophile or rapist

In my many years on this earth, I've never been accosted in a bathroom, whether at a fast food place, concert venue, dive bar or any stop in between. I've run into men's rooms at concert venues when the line was too long in the ladies' room and I really had to go. I've used "gender neutral" bathrooms at one place of employment because it was just easier that way. LGBT people are just people. Try showing them the love of Christ, you'll be amazed.
 
Some countries and locations don't have gender specific restrooms. Some have attendants of the opposite sex whose sole job is continuously clean and stock the supplies. Once upon a time it was the location to get a shoeshine, buy tobacco, breath mints, combs and whatever.

That being said...
There's a natural revulsion and revile towards the sexually deviant. Having a restroom for them specifically is for their protection... some people are more than willing, when hidden from public view, to react violently towards those that are sexually deviant.

And on the other side of the coin...
Of the percentages of population groups...LGTB has an abnormally high percentage of sexual criminals. From rape to exhibition and all points in between.
Soooo some of the animosity is understandable...not excusing the violence but it is understandable.

There would not be any protest or complaints on their part is all. God made man to be a man and woman to be a woman and dress as such.

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
 
-sigh-

im queer. not flaming, not even active on it, because I have a fairly traditional view of Scripture, but...queer. It happens. so...

i kinda -get- gender nonconformity, especially since i was once a 'flamer.' im not now...and i think some of it may have been physically rooted (long story), but...


its -difficult- to not fit in. very, very, very difficult. what bothers me about the widespread deconstruction of gender and sexuality is that...it probably indicates moral and overall social decay. true story. camille paglia has written about this, she's brilliant. and...

-another sight-

johndb probably has a point. i existed on the very fringes of an urban gay subculture, in my late teens. -not fun-. thankfully, i wasn't in the middle of all that...but anyway...

again, i think everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, no violence. honestly, even though i dont want gay unions in the church, im down with -secular- gay marriage, as a civil right. but...

i saw, thankfully from a distance, some of the uglier aspects of the gay world, and...its not a healthful lifestyle, much less a godly one. drugs, alcohol, varying degrees of promiscuity and overall misery...

not good. :-( a couple heterosexual acquaintances told me, way back when i was younger, that when they wanted drugs, they -always- went to the bigger gay bars. what does that tell you?

of course...ive known -of- (again, mostly from a distance...thank goodness...) divorced people who were promiscuous, people in 'open marriages' who turned bitter and angry, etc...

doesn't work. the more one deviates from God's plan--and not just with sexuality, either, I mean with anything--the worse things get.

((End sermon, LOL)) :)

I agree with scripture but I don't agree with you. You obviously don't watch or read the news if you truly believe that nobody protests or complains about it.
