DSM-IV mentally ill or bat**it crazy mentally ill?And remember that we are dealing with a doubly-protected class - sex and disbility.
Unisex restroom/changing room. Private floor to ceiling stalls. Eliminate urinals. Sinks can be shared space. Having lockable private shower rooms would eliminate the issue there, too.It's not a hard problem to solve, if the business wants to invest in solving it.My real issue is when people are told they will accommodate group x, y, or z or face court or government sanctions. Freedom of association should be one of the most basic tenants of freedom.
I wish I could find the cartoon of the person who is talking to their counselor saying things like "I identify as a cisnormative male when i first wake up the morning, but by the time I go to work I identify as a transexual polyamourous lesbian, then...on and on and on... finally in the the second to last panel the the counselor says "Pull down your pants". The last panel shows a "rear view" of said confused individual with her pants down and the counselor stating "You are a Woman."
IMHO, dealing with this kind of stuff, it's better to just make it a non issue overall.
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!

IMO, as long as I can't self identify as a half-black, half Cherokee, you are what your DNA says you are. Don't like it, tough; that's life.
How are transgenders a protected class? It's illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender. By definition, a "transgender" is someone of one gender who is pretending to be of the other gender. I don't see any protected class there.
I've herd of a few 3rd bathroom's installed that were male/female/family/wtf?/etc. Single occupant type things. Solves the problem.
