Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts said Tuesday he expected a committee vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act next month but that House members were continuing to rework the language of as it relates to certain considerations, including transgender issues.

"There continues to be concerns on the part of many members about the transgender issue, particularly about the question of places where people are without their clothes — showers, bathrooms, locker rooms, etc.," said Frank. "We still have this issue about what happens when people who present themselves as one sex but have the physical characteristics of the other sex, what rules govern what happens in locker rooms, showers, etc."

When will they realize that if you are pre-op, you avoid things like locker room and showers, unless you can lock the door.  Bathrooms already have this capacity.

As a pre-op woman, I don't want anyone to see me naked.  They need to talk to pre-ops and see the truth.

"Truth" and "Washington D.C." are pretty much diametrically opposed notions.

Or Jumbo Shrimp, but who exactly is trying to get them to understand that?  No surprise that people who don't want to be found out, ain't testifying before Congress.
