To keep things uniform and less confusing, we first need to refer to "transgenders" by their birth gender as opposed to the gender they would like to be.

Our government doesn't have the right to force someone to give up their privacy for an LGBT movement that's trying to make this issue politically correct.

Here's a simple solution. Instead of monetizing everything by debates/rules/regulations put that time, effort and money into simply adding a third restroom. Done. Argument closed.
They have a right to disagree and you should respect that.

Actually, they do.
We are not a democracy, we are a republic.
Equal Rights has nothing to do with majority.

I do but I was talking about his use of strawmen's argument. He should respect our intelligence. His post makes no sense in the context of this thread.
It's an insult to one's intelligence to use his strawmen's argument. It's no different from comparing this to people who think they are dogs and demanding that they pee and poop wherever they want.

Whose equal rights?
Person a is uncomfortable using using a certain bathroom because it does not correspond with the gender they feel they really are.
Person b is uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with someone who is not the same biological gender as they are.
Who should have the right to tell the other to suck it up and be uncomfortable?
They are NOT someone's private personal sanctuary.
EVERYONE needs to PEE.

I'd say the kids'. If it wasn't a problem for so long, why is it suddenly a problem now? I'll tell you why, because of politics. That's why.

This is being blown up because of Trans Students, yeah Kids. This bill was meant to target Schools and Trans Kids.
Trans kids in school (and their parents) have been going public and demanding their rights.
That's where all the fear mongering started.
