I've been paying little attention to this transgendered/bathroom issue mostly because I see it as little more than election year politics at its worst. I mean, thanks to the SCOTUS, gay marriage is now settled so I guess there needs to be something to take its place and this was the best they could come up with on short notice? Whatever the case, maybe it's about time for a reasonable discussion(if that is even possible) about what people are really trying to accomplish here.
For the "pro-transgendered"... What "laws" in place before all of this hoopla were oppressive to the transgendered and how would "new laws" rectify this situation?
For the "anti-transgendered"... What "laws" in place prior to all of the hoopla failed to protect people from predators looking to exploit loopholes and how would "new laws" rectify the situation?
Finally, for everyone... Why do we need to change anything at all?
