Scientists are seeing effects on animals. Some male fish, for example, have developed female traits and have reproductive problems. Scientists believe the cause may be exposure to human birth control hormones.

How would you account for throughout History and the Various Cultures of Third Genders, Transgender, MultiGender and BiGender people?

Cool - I'm good with individual stalls and private dressing rooms for everyone. Is that all going to happen tomorrow? How about by next Thursday? Something tells me it could take years to change every public place in the country. What happens in the meantime?

Liking Football and Makeup are not "Gender-Identities" nor are those dictated by "Gender" or "Sex". "Gender-Expression" is a completely separate thing
"Sex" and "Gender" don't coincide, Sex being Gentiles and Gender being Identity.Also, Gender Dysphoria is not exclusively Transgender, so Other-Genders do not challenge the Legitimacy of Trans people

I don't even know what that means. Society as it is? Society where? There are plenty of places that have no problem with transgender people. Plenty of places in this country.

Leave it to someone to change the narrative. If I wanted to include locker rooms or showers, I would have done so. This was and is specifically about public bathrooms. I am not going to bother responding to obvious hatred towards transgender, only to say I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with that from their own family.

It's stupid in several ways and one of the ways it is stupid is that the rest of us are seemingly forced to indulge these people in their delusions that they are the opposite sex. A male still has an Xy chromosome is every cell in HIS body and a woman has XX in every cell in HERS. No amount of hormone therapy is going to change that. You can tack a stick on the end of a female and that doesn't make her a male, and carving a hole in a male doesn't make him female. he still has an Adam's apple and male musculature. This is completely delusional behavior.
What I find absolutely abhorrent is giving "puberty blockers" to kids as young as eight years old because they may have expressed to be of the opposite sex, usually by lesbian mothers, who want to "preserve the kid's choice." These people are mucking up kids' lives. What they are doing ought to be illegal.
