A discrimination lawsuit filed by Transsexual Men in New York City has finally been settled. The New York Metropolitan Transit Authority has agreed to open all of it’s restrooms on the basis of “gender expression”. This means that a man whom is dressed as a woman but still has his penis entact could possibly be sitting in the stall next to you in the women’s restroom’s within New York City.

I must state that I do not have a problem with transsexual men. My mentality on this is “to each their own” but I would not appreciate being in any public restroom and witnessing a man in there as well, even if “he” is dressed as a “she”. I do understand that alot of transvestites want to be women, or feel they are women, I can live with this, but I do feel that unless a “man” has had surgery, they have no business in a women’s public restroom.

I suggest this to the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority. If you are going to consider this lunacy, why not go all the way and build public restrooms for transvestites? Why should women have to deal with a man dressed up as a woman in our public restrooms? To be fair, I avoid public restrooms. I also understand that in women’s restrooms there are stalls, but it’s the point of a man being in there. If a man still has his “package”, you can dress it up all you want, they are still men in my eyes and I’m sure that I am not the only woman who feels this way. I also feel this measure is disregarding the rights of women as a whole. Do not toss aside women’s rights as well as safety. Keep men out of our public restrooms.
