So perverts can now be creeps in the ladies room

[thunderscratch]

Beat up? No. Dragged out and bitch slapped, without a doubt.

[colleenhussion]

Make the politicians who are supporting this issue of sharing, change in front of transgender like they are forcing the girls to do

[golkeeper]

we shouldnt debate this non issue.we should refuse to debate

[mandroid]

Sorry transgender people, you are not the opposite sex. But I hope you find peace somehow.

[TheGreenResolution]

I'm so fucking sick of this bathroom thing. Why do we even have states still? Enough with these bullshit proposals that the whole damn country has to comply with. If California wants to have it well ok then whatever.

[tanchotic]

Evidence of having too much free time.

[longfellow]

have a real national vote not just this battel of words or theory bullshit why not just make it legal to have sex at 13

I'm a dog, I want to pee on hydrants.

I honestly can feel your pain, We are all in the same boat . I think it's insane but I think it should of been protested way before the bill left the house

[AndrewSmith-pnqc]

To be honest. They should not have washrooms for men and washrooms for women. That is gender segregation and straight up sexist.

I'm a transgender female first I think locker rooms and bathrooms are separate subjects because there are separate style environment one has stalls the other one is open I think a bathroom with real walls real doors for each stall is different than those cheap ones where you can see between the cracks I don't like being watch going to the bathroom I prefer the real doors sinks don't matter what gender at them but at the same time us girls don't want to do our makeup in front of boys we want to be all set before letting them see or freshen up but I would do my makeup in front of males it's not the end of the world I also believe that transgenders have to be taken in consideration and the group I transgender cannot go in the bathroom they don't identify with they can go for them for us in the bathroom we identify with most of the time I choose gender-neutral bathrooms there are times that I go to choose a bathroom where you have to step through one doorway and then immediately right or left is a choice people step out of the way to free up the ladies side for me I take no true effort in going in in the sense of fighting or pushing around anybody or aggravating once I was asked by a crossdresser or transgender when I said transgender she was apologetic she did not want me to feel bad as a female she just wanted to make sure that there was no crossdressers coming in but that was at the beginning of when I was using the ladies room because I did not have another choice like I said when I have a choice I do choose a gender-neutral bathroom or if I know the place is accepting about bathrooms and stuff I don't try to go into places where I'm going to make somebody feel uncomfortable but I do believe that it should not be against the law for a transgender on our path not just at the beginning about on it true we going through it shouldn't be against the law to do so but better walls better doors I think takes away as much of a problem as people think more privacy but still ends up on the female side is a good balance I wish both sides luck in finding a place where we can meet in the middle and cause the least harm and discomfort trans is harm for most of us but cisgender females mainly feel uncomfortable I do think that should be taken in consideration how much each of us is affected by this and how many times are we not noticing but in the Ladies Room a transgender male comes in he looks like a male is he going to be wanted and because his original birth certificate said female so where does it stand does it stand that all the people that don't want us transfer emails in the bathroom don't want us to go to the bathroom or think we can't I know some don't care what happens to us I am emotional but I do not judge all for certain people's opinions and facts I'm just talkin overall and a bit of everything and everyone most of the time my friends use it good tied it up and do my makeup about touch up my makeup
please to all involved do not try to cause harm try to see if in the other person's view I know a few transgenders that get so upset that they threaten violence and that is wrong we should not hate those I feel differently than us but that's what this government is about as and the fact that it's new in people's minds is not a new subject but it is new and fresh in people's minds free the pee

Could someone transcript this video? Its for a school project....

So apparently transgender rights are becoming a thing and some people are a little behind the curve. I admire Pat McCrory's pledge to remove the subsection of the bathroom bill allowing people to discriminate against LGBT people, even as I'm sure it's just a little soon for some people to accept that someone born to one sex may not necessarily have their gender perfectly match.

u dress a duck up to look like a chicken its still a duck u can dress a boy up to look like a girl hes still a boy

[digitalspinz_inkafricannew]

I don't feel it's his fault, I feel it's the next administrations problem . Not saying he's completely faultless but it you remember a couple months back, Obama tried to select another supreme court judge and they denied him. The reason being his term is almost over

[timbalandhits]

this is discrimination to all conservative people they fight with pity!!!

[sheenesteves]

I see there are no issues that need attention more important that this trash problem. Let the muslims in they have answers for transgender issues gay and other such issues.

[Jesterb]

leave it to Texas to not wanting to evolve with the times
