Besides, you do realize that people have been able to use the bathroom of their choice since the invention of public bathrooms, right?
To me it isn't about bathrooms. The issue will be locker rooms.
How long does a boy have to declare himself to be a girl? A day? A week?
The issue will be high school boys saying "I'm a girl. I can use the girls locker room" just so they can go in and peep on girls.
That is the issue. Where someone goes #1 or 2 is not.
But no school district has allowed that...not one. Dan Patrick started this whole thing by coming up with a solution to a non-existent problem.
So your thought process is because it has not been an issue previously we should not consider it and prepare for it in the future.....Yeah that is great planning. That is the type that has led to lax security at airports, schools, outdated military tactics in numerous wars, identity theft being a huge deal, package theft, etc that have caused governments, police, businesses, etc to be behind the curve and reacting to the issue instead of being proactive.
Correct. If it isn't broken, why are we trying to fix it? What was the problem that Patrick was trying to fix? Are you seriously okay with state government regulating bathrooms? What's next? Books we can or cannot read? We have elected officials at the local level to make decisions for school districts.
I see You don't believe in being proactive. Only in acting after a tragedy. You are so fixated on bathrooms you fail to see I am NOT arguing about bathrooms. I was talking about locker rooms. But you have a bathroom fixation and can't seem to move away from that.
States already regulate bathrooms in certain ways. So you fail at that argument.
I'm using bathroom as a general term. No district in Texas has allowed boys and girls to share locker rooms...at least it has not been publicized. I do believe in being proactive, but you cannot prepare for everything. Why are you against locally elected officials doing their job?
Just because some states regulate bathrooms doesn't mean my argument fails. My argument is that it should not be a state-level decision. You are opening the door for worse...especially if the party you don't support gets in power.
It may not have happened yet in TX but it will. It already has in other states at a handful of schools. This will lead to issues. I would rather be proactive. If we are proactive about things then we can prevent many things. Like school shootings, future 9/11 type attacks, etc. But you only want to respond once something happens.
And I am sure you are the same type of person who drives through an intersection and says that intersection is dangerous... the city,state, etc should do something about it.... but they should wait until someone dies and it is an issue.
https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/opinion-columns/victor-joecks/teen-girls-uncomfortable-with-ccsd-allowing-male-to-change-in-their-locker-room/Again I am not even talking about bathrooms....but you keep focusing on that one issue.
You do realize there are already laws in EVERY STATE that extend into the bathroom thus regulating the bathroom. Sex in the bathroom, cameras in the bathroom, standing nude in a bathroom of the opposite sex, etc.
I actually remember reading something that talked about how the argument of a transgender (or person pretending to be) going into a bathroom to take pictures, peep, etc on the opposite sex/children would already be breaking about 5 current TX laws and the whole transgender thing would just make it another law.
Which is why I do not have an issue with bathrooms. I do have an issue with the locker rooms where one can peep, spy, look at, etc a person much easier as they change without being caught.
