A Little Rant to Close Out a Long Week...

Ok, Guys... Let's GET REAL...
Little boys and girls have sneaked a peek through bathroom stall doors since the beginning of time... It used to be met with a stern tugging of the ear by a teacher and maybe a talk with the principal.  Over time, punishments for this childhood "crime" have gotten increasingly more harsh.

So... Now, while some children are having their parents called, meeting with school administration, and serving detention, others are strolling into the restroom of their choice, as though they belong.  How do you enforce the rules in such an environment?

If it isn't uncomfortable enough for young people to use a public restroom, we now have to [expressly]  allow children, who have not even reached adolescence (don't even get me started on that), yet have decided they "identify" with the opposite gender, make a choice which bathroom they wish to use.  What happens when they change their minds next week?

I believe we should accommodate the needs of ALL people.  My biggest concern in all of this is who is looking out for those children who are not transgender?  Does anyone care how it makes THEM "feel" when someone, who is of the opposite birth gender, is sharing the restroom with them?  Why is it always the masses that have to conform to the few, rather than the reverse?

More importantly, why is this so hard?  Why do we have to have federal mandate requiring bathroom sharing?  If there must be a mandate at all, why can it not be that one unisex and/or single stall restroom is available in each school and/or between the boy/girls for ANYONE who is uncomfortable using a public restroom and call it a day?  I'm pretty sure we already have those in most schools...

So... Why is it so hard?  Well, because it serves someone's purpose to invoke strong emotional parental protection instincts, that's why.  Clearly, this is just another play on our emotions to serve someone's grand agenda.
