AP Exclusive: 'Bathroom bill' to cost North Carolina $3.76B

i've already had this exact conversation on reddit -- with moms who would throw ANYONE under the bus for their kids. i get it, i totally get it. that's instinct. but we have laws to keep us working and living together, and so far, i'm not seeing where your fears are justified by real life events more than they are inspired by some dark nightmare involving mysterious strangers.

are you saying all those people, uncomfortable with the idea that someone with a Y chromosome might be peeing near them, are against unisex bathrooms? because i've had that argument too: that unisex bathrooms are inherently wrong. that's why it seems to me that the concept of man as sexual predator has gotten a little out of hand. yes, most pedophiles are men -- and most transpeople were assigned male a birth. should we throw the baby out with the bathwater? what do you want to do about the problem of men? what can we do to keep them from having any contact with women or children? since by your own reasoning, that'd be the just course of action. that and forced castration for offenders. i'm no pedo apologist and i have to admit that would be a policy debate that makes me a little uncomfortable. i don't have a solution, myself, but further marginalizing anyone.. that's obviously not it.
