We do understand your concern but this issue is overblown. It's a manufactured fear from the far right. It was never an issue for years.

I'm gonna start taking dumps in the women's bathroom. If confronted I'll lie and say I'm transgendered.
Just a joke obviously, but really how are they gonna prove otherwise?
Have people started marrying their toasters yet?

I understand but the law changes nothing. Perverts don't care about laws.

This is what happens when school districts decide to decide how bathrooms are used:
CNN
It's an unimaginable horror. A 14-year-old girl with special needs allegedly was raped at school after a teacher's aide persuaded her to act as bait to catch an accused sexual predator, a fellow student. "It has essentially devastated her life," attorney Eric Artrip -- who represents the girl and her father -- said of the alleged January 2010 incident.
They sent her into a boys bathroom, as bait.
It worked.
With less than wonderful results.
That's a rather large jump to make. A teacher's aide comes up with an idea that culminated in the rape of a student and suddenly that gets turned in to "this is what happens when school districts get to decide!"
That's a head scratcher.

Ha ha, Trump thinks transgenders should be able to go to whatever bathroom they want to.
Like they always have. He won't appoint judges that will keep these unconstitutional tyrannical decrees that are forced onto people at the federal level.

How in the hell is it illegal to state the fact that the courts may decide against school districts who ban transgender kids from using the restroom of their identified gender?

People are not going to be using women''s bathrooms "all of sudden" just because they are "allowed" to do so. Things will remain the same.

The "crap you noted" was pulled by a teacher's aide and a vice principal. So no, the school district is not the one that "pulled the crap you noted."
Guess what? Teenagers have been doing teenager things in bathrooms for a while now. This letter from Obama isn't going open some floodgate that wasn't already open.
It will still be illegal to be a pervert in the bathroom, and will still be illegal to intentionally expose oneself to small children and adults alike. I haven't seen anything that says it's going to be legal to wave your wang in somebody's face in the restroom now.
