RE: Gender Identification and Bathrooms #33
Anyone wasting their time responding to this thread expecting an intellectual response from @meow should know better. This "poll" was biased from the beginning and OP is relying on the "logic" of black/white without fully understanding gender.

You're confusing "sex" with "gender"

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/232363.php

"Historically, the terms "sex" and "gender" have been used interchangeably, but, in modern society, their meanings are becoming increasingly distinct.

Being clear on the differences between the two concepts is more important than ever.

In this article, we will look at the meaning of "sex" and the differences between the sexes; we will also look at the meaning of "gender," "gender roles," "gender identity" and "gender expression."

In general terms, "sex" refers to the biological differences between males and females, such as the genitalia and genetic differences. "Gender" is more difficult to define but can refer to the role of a male or female in society (gender role), or an individual's concept of themselves (gender identity).

Sometimes, a person's genetically assigned sex does not line up with their gender identity. These individuals might refer to themselves as transgender, non-binary or gender-nonconforming...."

This is actually a much more complicated "issue" than a binary 1 or 0 representation.

An example of the fallout from the hysteria.

Excerpt:
"She walked past the three open stalls and stood directly in front of my door. Then she leaned over and placed her eye firmly up against the gap between the door and the frame and stared in at me.


I am not making this up. And let me tell you, it was awkward. Bizarre even. This wasn't a case of someone hoping all those occupied stalls aren't really occupied. Mine was the only stall that was occupied. She deliberately stopped and stared in at me. My startled eyes met hers, and she moved away into one of the larger stalls.

I got out of my stall as quickly as I could, and as I stood washing my hands, her voice called out.

"Sorry about that," she said. "But, you know, Target lets men and homosexuals use just any bathroom. I was making sure you were a woman."

I didn't say a word — because I really didn't know how to answer that...."
