Was this a change in policy?
was told at work this last week that if I did not want to see women in the men's room or be offended, I would need to seek out a single user bathroom to use.
Yeah. What ever happened to the notion that my rights end where someone else's start? In other words, you have no more right to that restroom than they do. If you're offended by them it's up to you to deal with it. Not them.
Hell in a hand basket and gramps used to say.

so can the girls go into the mens bathroom and take showers with men too the law applies if a woman feels she is a man how many women will do that?
It was you who was offended, was it not?
I just thought it strange they tell me to seek single user restrooms but cant tell them the same thing.
Tell me, how do you know that you weren't sharing a bathroom with a transgendered person in "the good old days?"
It wasn't a problem before when we all used the bathrooms according to our birth gender.
You've made that clear.
I was definitely uncomfortable.
Ok.
I just seek out the single user restrooms and they can have the rest.
Yes. So apparently she wasn't trying to be sneaky.
The only way her and the older lady, who was also there knew it was a man was because of the voice when he started talking on the phone.
Ok.
They too were uncomfortable and left, my wife had my daughter in hand as they left until this man left and then they all went back in.

Actually, I asked my daughter about it a couple of months ago.
Her response was that she might feel a little uncomfortable but she understood the feelings of the transgendered in the matter. She figured that her discomfort did not trump theirs and that she would get over it.
She's a sharp kid.

"She thinks it's a good thing"
You make it sound like she is even interested in seeing new things...
Kids are smart...
They are laughing at the freedom this situation allows them to explore their urges with greater ease...
