We've had separate bathrooms for decades ... what's the problem now

[billheathcock]

One person does not have more rights than another person, my kids got a right to feel safe in her bathroom, locker room, and showers at the gym and at her school.

[markdunigan]

I don't think its a good idea to give any man who puts a dress on and calls himself a woman the right to walk into a womens bathroom.That is their private space and it needs to be respected, they have that right.

[VIPER-gess]

Common sense thinking. Feelings don't belong in politics. Facts matter. Science and genetics, not wishes and wants.

[swansong]

If trans need a bathroom build them one !

[lennychorn]

It's always about their rights. They need to learn their rights end when they infringe upon another's person's rights.

[AlphaBuckeye]

It ain’t no damn controversy! Great job by the ohio gop

[WantingMore]

Attack on trans? Most really couldn't care less about them.

[dougjones]

Good. Provide a neutral restroom option, so if somebody thinks they're something unconventional they can use that one, but men in womens rooms WILL result in assaults like in Loudon County Virginia.

[terrythompson]

This is very disgusting, should never be aloud anywhere!!! What’s this world coming to

[handysmith-kvtc]

I cant believe this nonsense is being discussed.

[earlofmar]

We have ramps for disabled ppl. Have bathrooms for ppl that are mentally disabled.

[deane]

This is about separating people by their biological sex. You can identify as anything you want but this is a safety issue for biological males and females. Don't go around blaming government for how you were biologically born.

00:38. When u see the mask these days you know what opinion they’re going to have before they ever speak.

[jusstmee]

To the girl who likes a man, i would recommend holding it till you get home or just use the bathroom of your biological sex.
The majority of people do not want a biological man in women, girls and little girls spaces. That is putting the females in danger.

[BudinVegas]

Watch what you say, the "juvenile" YOUTUBE CENSOR people might delete it.

[SirMeowthius]

Does anyone remember Unisex Single Occupancy bathrooms? Thought those were a thing or was that my imagination?

[kaischmidt]

My son identifies as a truck. He wants to use the bus garage as a bathroom.

[PhatBoyFresh]

How is this controversial? Men are men and women are women and you can't change that. We've known this since the beginning of time. Why is it a problem all of a sudden?

[projectalice]

I do not understand why they cannot build gender neutral bathroom/locker rooms wherever possible.

Does everything have to come down to one group gets what they want at the expense of another?
