Personally, I don't get the big friggin deal. If parents are so damned worried about their kids in public restrooms GO IN WITH THEM. What exactly are they expecting, thete to be official bathroom monitors. We are not in elementary school here people.

I don't really care either. But a lot of people are going to bitch about it, especially with the whole transgender bathroom debate thing going on lately.
Unfortunately, both adults and children have been victims of perverts taking photos of their genitals as they go to the bathroom.
I think we need some sort of "apparent gender" rule. Not like having only biological women go in the ladies, but if the person in question is obviously trying to look like the opposite gender, they can go in without question. I think we can reasonably assume that if someone feels like they are another gender, they'll make an effort to look somewhat like that other gender, right? So if a man walks into the ladies wearing makeup, he's good to go. But if a man tries to go in the ladies looking like a lumberjack, the owner of the store should be free to question and possibly prevent that person from entering, if there is reasonable ground for suspicion.
I don't know, what do you guys think? This is the idea we agreed was best in my debate class, I'm curious to see what you guys think.
