People who bother you in bathrooms: Republicans, military veterans, Larry Craig, Members of Congress, Dennis Hastert, wrestling coaches, priests, coaches, Jerry Sandusky
Not: Transgendered people.
The comic is funny, sad… and it is literally true. .It only takes one perpetrator to create one of these circles and only two to make a Venn diagram..It would be so great if everyone could just treat each other with respect and let anyone/everyone who needs to urinate, defecate and/or wash up do it in peace..There should not be any need for rules to allow for this to occur naturally..These are activities that we all have in common, regardless.
Do Conservatives really go into public restrooms and knock on every stall to find the sex of the occupant? What about on planes, what do they do on planes, take a poll of the passengers? What if some are Black, Hispanic or Muslim, then what? Just wondering as bathrooms are such an important aspect to Conservative life.
This is such a non-problem. You would think all of the rage and effort would be directed at getting a Congress that actually does something not passing silly laws that probably can’t be enforced and in the end will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Complete stupidity. No wonder we are on our way to becoming just another third world country.
It bothers ALL woman who are bothered by men dressed as woman thinking it is still Halloween going into their bathrooms. ….but hey who cares about them right??? LOL!!
Would it bother you if your daughter had to go into a dressing room full of men dressed in women’s attire even if they didn’t lay a hand on her.
Doesn’t all this seem creepy? Transgenders need medical help…not bathroom access.
Half the women’s room stalls and changing rooms I’ve been in have such long doors people need to knock to see if they’re occupied while the other half expose about 10 inches of shin, no one has any idea who is in there! The rooms could be unisex with no privacy problems… though from glimpses of men’s rooms over the years I’d be concerned about cleanliness.
I’ve actually never heard concerns about trans-use of bathrooms from any actual women, though I imagine there must be some, somewhere. It’s conservative men who blow up on this non-issue. You know. To protect our delicate, helpless womenfolk.
Yes this is a non problem, the problem will come when the other go into the ladies room, not to pee but to harrass passing as transgender. Just yesterday we heard of news from Edmonton, Alberta, that a man was caught recording a seven year old boy peeing, while his father was there, he was arrested, and lucky that he didn’t get beaten. That is the problem, going through this insanity for less than 0.2% of the population.
It has been over sixty years since George became Christine Jorgenson and no problems until the Republican hate-mongers decided to use it as the new scare tactic on the gullible and/or paranoid.
I’m very liberal but I dislike most of TR’s work. He is so strident and full of unfair exaggerations. In this case I agree with some of his assertions. Clearly, people that are insensitive to the needs and feelings of others and care more about their own well-being than that of the people or nation (conservatives in general) are more likely to see others as objects of abuse for personal gratification, but you can’t paint them all with the same brush.
Republicans should have their own bathrooms. Then they can check out each other’s junk, show off their pistols, segregate all they want. While the Democratic bathroom can be used for elimination of body waste.

The so called ‘gorgeous woman’ is a man dressed as a woman trying to pick you up…lol…then ‘she’ will go over into the Women’s restroom and pee….
You see how silly this whole transgender thing is?
True Story: When I was 15 years old (back in the 60’s) I was sitting in a restaurant and this woman was flirting with me. I walked past her and noticed ‘she’ had a five o’ clock shadow on her’ face….yikes!!!

OMG think of the daughters!
This is as silly a non-issue as death panels, the war on Christmas and voter fraud.
