    Im thinking that a reasonable compromise would be to allow people who have undergone an actual sex change to use the corresponding bathroom. That way people with beards wont have to use the womens bathroom just because they were born females. That would still keep gays, transvestites, voyeurs etc from using the wrong bathroom.

    The company said its decision not to build its Charlotte facility "reflects PayPal's deepest values and our strong belief that every person has the right to be treated equally, and with dignity and respect.
    He forgot to finish his sentence: "unless they disagree with our stance."

    PayPal isn't very secure. My PP was hacked some years back.....I wouldn't trust them or use them. And don't.

    There are literal, "I hate PayPal" sites. People have had lots of problems with PP for years.

    I have used PayPal for purchases. As a matter of fact, just bought some stuff from Christian Book Distributers using them. Had I known about this crap I would have just used my credit card. Less convenient but my conscience wouldn't be bothering me as it currently is. May considering ditching them altogether myself. Right now if you are a buyer or seller you can use Amazon Webway absolutely free.

    We aren't talking about people with operations, though. Much of the new laws (that do the opposite of this law), specifically state that people who FEEL that they are the opposite sex can use the bathroom that corresponds with that. They are even doing this in high schools where they know the young ladies are uncomfortable with boys in their locker rooms.

    And thing is, in the one case I'm thinking about, an accommodation was already made. The "transgendered" boy had a separate changing/locker room. But he sued to be able to change IN the locker room with the girls....he has had no surgery.

    This is why I have said over and over.....when gays come out of the closet, Christians have to go in. They don't believe in tolerance. They believe in dominance.

    I know that but if it is pitted against a law that is the exact opposite then it is easy to argue against that law. A person who has gone through an actual sex change can argue that it is harassment to be forced to use a bathroom corresponding to their sex at birth. Noone else can, basically.

    Here's that story I mentioned:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...s-locker-room/

    Around the country, high schools are increasingly confronting a thorny issue: Should transgender students be allowed into the locker room?

    And increasingly, the federal government is stepping in to provide an answer: Schools must give trans students full locker room access.

    On Monday, the Obama administration again weighed in on the issue with the release of a report slamming a suburban Chicago public school district for not providing a transgender student with access to the girls’ locker rooms.

    The report, which caps a two-year investigation, found that Township High School District 211 in Palatine, Ill., unfairly denied the transgender teenager — who was undergoing hormone therapy but had not undergone gender reassignment surgery — access to school facilities in violation of Title IX, that bars discrimination in federally funded education programs, causing her “isolation,” “ostracism” and at least one “tearful breakdown.”

    “The denial of access has also meant that, in order to satisfy her graduation requirements and receive a high school diploma, Student A has had no other option but to accept being treated differently than other students by the District,” according to the 14-page report from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

    The student, who has not been publicly named, rejoiced at the report’s release.

    The federal ruling “makes clear that what my school did was wrong,” she said in a statement to the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, which has backed her.

    “This decision makes me extremely happy — because of what it means for me, personally, and for countless others,” she said. “The district’s policy stigmatized me, often making me feel like I was not a ‘normal person.’ ”

    The school district now has 30 days to reach an agreement with authorities or risk losing up to $6 million in federal funding. The case could also be referred to the Department of Justice.

    But district officials did not back down on Monday, insisting that they “remain strong in our belief that the District’s course of action … appropriately serves the dignity and privacy of all students in our educational environment.”

    From the OP :

    "The measure also mandates that students in state schools use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender when they were born."

    This is a problem when the rule is applied without exceptions.
