What is a "transgender" anyway? And how many of them are there? Enough to distract government types from real problems, I suppose. Keeps the lefties in an uproar. But that doesn't take much.

Transgender is making the transition from one sex to another. The restroom issue is a question of gender identity which doesn't require an operation. All human life starts out female. Male genitalia is around 7 weeks...

Man! I Feel Like A Woman! ...anybody know where I can find one? (relax lefties, it's called a joke.) 455

The condition of "transgender" does NOT imply or require sexually transformative surgery. Transgender people identify and feel like a member of the other sex. That's all. They may or may not validate their sexual identity via surgery. If they desire surgery to transition from one sex to another, it is suitable to call them "transsexual." In that case, the chromosome pair determining sex does not match the appearance of the transformed genitalia and new secondary sexual characteristics.

Nothing I said was not true; however, I should have added the difference with transsexualism which gets associated or confused with gender identity. Here is a basic definition; Transgender is a less clinical term, referring more to gender identity and gender expression than to sexual orientation or physical sex characteristics. It is also a more general and inclusive term: a transgender person may be gay, transsexual, transvestite, or even genderqueer. There. Happy? I live in California and there are many unisex and/or family restrooms here. I have no problem with the gender identity issue and I have had both gay and TS friends in life. I don't judge them.

If 12-year-old girls don't want me waving my penis in their faces, they're bigots.
