One of my friends is a local college professor. She recently showed me this site were students RATE THEIR PROFESSORS as far as the grades and how many students each professor failed and such … You probably know about it – I was shocked though!

David:
Now there is a “bathroom bill” before the state Legislature — “show me your papers” before you pee. Read it:
A PERSON COMMITS DISORDERLY CONDUCT IF THE PERSON INTENTIONALLY ENTERS A PUBLIC RESTROOM, BATHROOM, SHOWER, BATH, DRESSING ROOM OR LOCKER ROOM AND A SIGN INDICATES THAT THE ROOM IS FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF PERSONS OF ONE SEX AND THE PERSON IS NOT LEGALLY CLASSIFIED ON THE PERSON’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE AS A MEMBER OF THAT SEX.
Does it mean that a person of “questionable ” gender needs to actually carry around Birth Certificate or does it mean that one can not be caught ” with penis ” in ladies bathroom?LOL

Lana, if a man go to a women bathroom right now, this is considered as a disorderly conduct right now, and nobody found this as an issue before the “trans women with penises in women bathrooms” issue came up. So why this is a big deal for other non-women with penises?

It’s OK, people should discuss whatever makes them happy. I’m just kidding!

David , just tell me where you think the ones who look like women , but have penises should go? Or for that matter, where the ones who are obviously men , who look and dress like women ,who may or may not have a penis , should go ?

Yes, it is a big question how people will be proving if they have the correct genitals. I’m not sure I’m quite prepared to pass this test every time I need to pee.

Let’s adopt the bathroom model widely seen in Scandinavia and some other European countries in newer buildings, where each toilet is in a self-contained little room with sink etc., and each of these little rooms is available to any person who wants to use them regardless of gender – the sign on the door shows both the traditional symbols. It both removes these sorts of discussions and leads to fewer queueing issues if a group which happens to be made up predominantly of either gender has a comfort break at a set point in time.

This sounds like the perfect solution.
But if this were to happen, then what would people discuss? What laws would the legislators champion? 🙂

Whatever you say, sunshine.
As for myself, I’m just going to bask in the irony of the fact that the very man who two weeks whined piteously that “cissexual” was a slur equivalent to “bitch” or “nigger” is now unironically calling Jan Brewer a ‘bitch’ and Barack Obama an “uncle Tom.” I suppose that the fact that you’re an anarchist also comes with a magical Get-Out-Of-Massive-Hypocrisy-Free card.

I call Brewer a bitch because she’s a women-hating politician. I call Barack OSama an “Uncle Tom” for the same reason than Nader.
