Quote:Good questions, but hardly unsolvable issues. According to Wikipedia, 5 U.S. cities, including San Francisco and New York, require access to public restrooms be based on a person's personal gender identity. Unisex restrooms can be found in Europe and Canada, as well as on some U.S. college campuses. As awareness and tolerance grows, this may well cease to be an issue.

 

This is turning into a political discussion, and should probably be moved to the political forum.

 

It's really not surprising to me that San Francisco or New York would adopt such legislation.  I personally have a problem with access to public restrooms be based on a person's "gender identity".  Here is a simple example of how that law can be exploited.  What if some pervert decided that he was going to go into a female restroom, and use as his excuse that he "self identifies" as a female?

 

Unisex restrooms might be an option, but at what cost?  Why should businesses or public places be required to accommodate less than 1% or 2% of the population?
