No Beards In Ladies' Room

Disgusting! That is my response to the Associated Press article citing a ruling from the Gainesville City Commission allowing transgender residents to use whichever restroom they are most comfortable using.
I realize that when I use the restroom, I, being a woman, probably would not detect a man dressed in women's clothing. I would accept a man looking like a woman to be a woman. However, if I saw a person in the women's restroom with a beard and other male characteristics, I would be calling the police to get him out of there.

I don't need to read the rest, the blurb's enough. Now, in all of the time I've spent in the bathroom I have yet to see a bearded man in the toilets.
Nothing like a non-issue and the lowest common denominator appeal to get a song from the lowest common denominators! >:-)

The only beards I've seen in women's rooms were women with PCOS.

Yep, same. I have a friend who has a very impressive beard when she doesn't shave it. She identifies quite clearly as female.
It's the usual hysteria, reminiscent of the gays in the shower stuff in the military.

I have seen women with beards. These were GG women too. It just happens. I think the cause is out of balance hormones.
