South Dakota may become the first US state to approve a law preventing transgender students from using bathrooms and locker rooms for their identified gender. Even as the controversy highlights divisions, some say it also points to the possibility of compromise.

The passage in South Dakota of a pair of bills that some say target transgender people for discrimination – including a so-called "bathroom bill" – once more highlights the need for open dialogue around transgender rights, some observers say.

And hopefully from dialogue can come compromise.

Education and conversation yes but what would "compromise" mean?  TG bathrooms?  No thanks!  It is a tedious and necessary effort to respond to the prurient and salacious interests some people have about what's between our legs.  Better IMO that we are proactive, out there and visible in our communities.  It is a bit harder to hate people you know as productive and rather ordinary citizens.

I wish these reactionary potty mouth types would just grow up.
