Transgender federal employee wins historic discrimination case

OSHA regulations require that a business over a certain size have gender separated bathrooms.

OSHA regulations are not written in stone. Unisex restrooms exist now. No one is inventing anything new here.
 
You really are a problem, you know that? You think I want you and my daughter in the same restroom? Dude, I'm done with you, you're trolling this thread.

Your daughter will not be forced to see anyone's pee pee. Most designs keep segregated rooms and an added mixed use room.
 
I wonder if single-occupant restrooms technically meet the standard because they are inherently gender-separated. (and everything-else separated)

They do not. It's dependent upon size of the business.

Yes, they are. Unless you want to make the change in congress. And then you'll have both the left and the right screaming. Yes, we are inventing something new here, the right for men to use the women's bathroom.

Get real. You're suggesting a redesign of bathrooms at virtually every public business all so an exceedingly small number of non-disabled folks with issues can go in the opposite gender's bathroom. The cost would be prohibitive.

That means yes. If they can be changed by any means...that means they are NOT written in stone.

Hilarious. Btw, it's not just OSHA regs, it's also states and/or local ordinance in some states and/or localities. Also, in this case, military regs.

You think this is a joke? My daughter is married so she's seen a pee pee okay, buddy? That's not the point.

Why? Do you think I would harm your daughter? Or is your "being done with this thread" really just you realizing that you can't actually put your finger on why it's "wrong" for me to be in a stall next to your daughter.
 
Do you realize that public restrooms have room for more than one person. Of course you do, you just felt the need to say something stupid. A transgender with a ****ing penis has NO BUSINESS IN A WOMEN'S RESTROOM PERIOD. In spite of your hate for traditional values, most of us still appreciate them.

Explain why this would be a problem.

Deuce is not transgendered, so you don't have to worry.

You're either one sex or the other, but not both. I think it's a matter of comfort level and cultural norms. If you're a guy, you go in a men's room. You can't force people to accept you, and that's in any social setting. Trying to crowbar you way it, and force people to accept you purely through legal action is going create nothing but resentment.

Why do you feel a need to be in the restroom with my daughter, maybe we should examine that, hmm? Put my finger on it? Maybe your psychological issues that you've decide to air openly here is the problem. You want to break down ever cultural barrier because you don't like them, so explain what your need is to be in the restroom with my daughter.
 
:lol: I don't get the bathroom issue at all. Like some guy is really going to put on a wig just to hear women take a ****. Plus it's not like there is anything that would stop that pervert now from doing it. Do people really think a bunch of men are just going to start dressing up like women just to go into a women's restroom? Because I really don't.

People are willing to kill for shoes. Doing what you suggest...wouldn't really surprise me. :(

Would you want a rapist using the stall next to your daughter? What's to stop a rapist from dressing up like a woman and using the women's restroom to "use the bathroom".

Personally I have no problem with transgenders using the bathroom that they identify with. So long as they've gone through the surgical transition first. Before then, use the bathroom for which your genitals coincide.
 
I think that if you enter the armed forces as one sex and then become a different sex, then you no longer can serve in the military...at least as long as the military insists on splitting men and women up (btw, I think they should be fully integrated as much as possible - including bathroom facilities).

The military must respect people's rights (something they have a LOT of work to do on, IMO)...but I do not think it should bend over backwards to accommodate every single desire of it's personnel.

This person chose to change gender, it was not forced on them. If they are SO desperate to be a different sex, then wait until their military career is over or resign/retire from the military. They don't like it...tough.

The military is for protecting the nation, not for holding a summer camp. All people in the military must be treated fairly, but not all people should be allowed to serve if the inconvenince for the military is unnecessary. And Imo, this is unnecessary.

It has nothing to do with forcing anyone to accept you. No one has to accept anyone else. And that in no way has anything to do with what bathroom a transgendered person uses. I have stated my opinion on this before. One uses the bathroom that matches their anatomy. If a male is pre-op, they use the male bathroom. If the male is post-op, they use the female bathroom. The ONLY exception I see with this is during the "year" as the other gender. Acceptance is irrelevant since no one is going to know. No transgendered person is going to announce it.

This is an absurd post, American. Deuce is NOT transgendered, so you comments have no relevance.
 
I hope they refuse to encourage this person in their self-mutilation and/or allow him to spy on women using the restroom, regardless of what their insane higher ups say.

This post demonstrates your completely lack of education on this issue and should stand as a testament to anyone who reads it as such. This is an excellent example of how lack of education on an issue causes someone to say things that are utterly ridiculous and totally without merit.
