Washington, D.C., passed similar legislation in 2006, and in the past two years several other communities — including Philadelphia; Austin, Tex.; and Multnomah County, Ore., where Portland is — have passed laws requiring gender-neutral bathrooms.
2006!!! That's 10 years ago. Sadly I haven't come across all this amateur footage you ensure will now be available. Where was you outrage then? What about the handful of cities that passed it in 2014? I don't remember you being upset then. Were you and your buddy that went to the Eagles game filmed without your yconsent? Did you throw a temper tantrum in the middle of Fairmount Park because they had unisex bathrooms?
I think you'd do us all a favor and just admit that you don't really understand what you're arguing about. You're "afraid" of transgender people because they're a mystery to you. So instead of actually educating yourself you throw around words like "pervert" and associate everyone to your own paradigm. And to think you actually mold young minds. Scary shit.
Your dime store psychological reading of me aside...here are a bunch of examples of bad stuff done by deviant men in public restrooms. Mind you, most of them had to disguise themselves as women to gain access to them because in reality, even deviant pieces of shit don't like to get caught.
Now you can say these are no reason to worry about anything, but the parents and family members of these victims probably all thought the same way but don't anymore.
I just read an article titled "Rape Survivor Speaks Out About Transgendered Restrooms".
http://thefederalist.com/2015/11/23/a-rape-survivor-speaks-out-about-transgender-bathrooms/
In it she says, "I read these reports, and my heart starts to race. They can’t be serious. Let me be clear: I am not saying that transgender people are predators. Not by a long shot. What I am saying is that there are countless deviant men in this world who will pretend to be transgender as a means of gaining access to the people they want to exploit, namely women and children. It already happens. Just Google Jason Pomares, Norwood Smith Burnes, or Taylor Buehler, for starters."
So I googled those men. Most had to dress as women to gain access to women's restrooms. Now they don't have to.
Jason Pomares

Charges were filed Tuesday against a man who wore a wig and women's clothing to disguise himself as he allegedly used a concealed camera to record "hours" of video of women in a Los Angeles-area department store restroom.
Jason Pomare, 33, of Palmdale, was arrested Saturday after customers contacted security officers at a Macy's store to report a man in the women's restroom. The security officers contacted a deputy, who was on patrol at the Antelope Valley Mall (

Norwood Smith Burnes

A 51-year-old man wearing women's clothing was arrested for allegedly undressing in front of children at Walmart.
Police say Norwood Smith Burnes, 51, of Rome, has a long record of indecent exposure and was on probation for public indecency when the latest incident occurred in the women's bathroom at Walmart in Calhoun, the Rome News-Tribune reported.
Burnes was in "stages of undress while on the stone floor and would do this in the presence of several young children," witnesses told police. When police arrived, they found Burnes wearing a short skirt and jacket, black leather coat, high heels, red nail polish, green eye shadow and jewelry.

Transgender Student in Women’s Locker Room Raises Uproar - Exposes Self to Underage Girls
The decision to allow a transgender 45-year-old college student who identifies as a woman but has male genitalia to use the women’s locker room has raised a fracas among parents and faith-based organizations, who say children as young as 6 years old use the locker room. The locker room at Evergreen College in Olympia, Wash., is shared with the Capital High School swim club and a children’s swim academy, along with the students at Evergreen. “The college has to follow state law,” Evergreen spokesman Jason Wettstein told ABC News affiliate KOMO. “The college cannot discriminate based on the basis of gender identity. Gender identity is one of the protected things in discrimination law in this state.” But according to parents, the fact that the student has exposed her male genitalia, in one instance in the sauna, is cause for concern. “[A mother] reported her daughter was upset because she observed a person at the women’s locker room naked and displaying male genitalia,” said a police report filed in September by a mother on behalf of her 17-year-old daughter.

- The above example is a case where a transgender person is following the law and nothing is reported that indicates they are intending harm to any individual. However parents of the young girls in this locker room are still concerned about a person with male genitalia being allowed to disrobe and enter a previously protected are for women & children.
