I wonder, would you all be discussing this in the same way if it was a men's room and a 44yr old man was the suspect? The answer to that question will reveal your inner agenda.

Except nobody is forcing you to do anything you aren't already doing. At some point in your life you've shared a pissoir with a gay man and possibly even a trans. All you're being asked to do is stop treating people like a lower life form.
People have to tolerate uneducated and uninformed angry rants, after all.
Huh?
I did none of things you just stated.
Try not to project your own assumed biases onto me.
I said exactly what I meant, don't filter it through your own bs to arrive at what you think I said.
Listen to you all boo hoo wah wah whine whine about how others are bad because they don't think like you. I think your signature actually is a fair representation of you so good choice of words there. I find it absolutely hilarious that you can't see the irony in your pathetic rants full of vitriol. You don't seem to understand that while you lambast others who are outside of your thought parameters of acceptable vs unacceptable you have become the very thing you hate...ONE GIANT FROSTY SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE!
You are funny, plz entertain me further with your "reasoning "
Thats it?!?! That's all you've got in defense of being forced to look in the mirror. Cat got your tongue or can't formulate an articulate rebuttal to my assertion of your "Snowflakiness".
No, I did it on purpose, because you wanted me to.
So I didn't lol
Aww how cute, you took up the mentality of an 8 year old just to spite little old me. I bet your all cute with your pouty face and arms crossed defiantly lol.
Lol, how did you guess? Are you watching me?

Probably she is transgender after all. Isnt that what all of those deranged perverts do. I recommend putting barb wire around your windows to prevent that in the future.

You wouldnt notice the clumsy walk in their heels, the facial stubble, the mismatched clothes and fake wig and realize sinething is amiss?
Pretty sure a genuine transgender at least has those rudimentary feminine skills down or would at least appear slighly more legitimate.

Lack of respect is asumening what another person thinks in order to advance ones own POV
I havent actually presented my point of view, just discussed fallacies in some others points of view.

And yet, which poster has gotten either parts of their post, or their whole post removed due to manners violation and offensive comments? (hint: it wasn't the OP)

Then IMO it would indicate you have a very unhealthy fear of transgender women. Yet, are not afraid of transgender men. So, you are OK with women dressed as men......see interesting.

Yeah I had a coworker who after a lifetime of wearing heels and a skirt suit at the office still couldn't walk in heels to save her life. She had a ungraceful gate where her heels would drag on the carpet. No she didnt have any physical or mental issues to attribute to it. She could walk normal in flats, just had no talent in heels I guess.
One time I tried on a girlfriends heels and tried walking across the room a few times in them. It wasnt that hard. So this poor woman was exceedingly uncoordinated.

And conversely, women that are not gay will also not know if that person in the next closed stall has man parts either, right?
Remember, illegal behavior is still illegal. Using the facilities for the purpose of relieving a bodily function of fixing your appearance are still not illegal.
SO, what is your actual issue here?
Persons experiencing gender dysphoria need a diagnostic term that protects their access to care and won’t be used against them in social, occupational, or legal areas. When it comes to access to care, many of the treatment options for this condition include counseling, cross-sex hormones, gender reassignment surgery, and social and legal transition to the desired Gender Dysphoria gender. To get insurance coverage for the medical treatments, individuals need a diagnosis.
The Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Work Group was concerned that removing the condition as a psychiatric diagnosis—as some had suggested—would jeopardize access to care. Part of removing stigma is about choosing the right words.
Replacing “disorder” with “dysphoria” in the diagnostic label is not only more appropriate and consistent with familiar clinical sexology terminology, it also removes the connotation that the patient is “disordered.” Ultimately, the changes regarding gender dysphoria in DSM-5 respect the individuals identified by offering a diagnostic name that is more appropriate to the symptoms and behaviors they experience without jeopardizing their access to effective treatment options.
The source of the explosion may have been a plastic bottle, which investigators found in the stall, according to the release.

I don't know how ladies do it honestly.

Being Trans* is not, for the billionth time, a mental illness ... it is a matter of GENDER IDENTITY.
And we all have GENDER IDENTITY. Many of us but not all have a GENDER IDENTITY that matches our assigned BIOLOGICAL SEX.
Some people have a condition called GENDER DYSPHORIA.
