Common Sense Upended – What’s Wrong With Confining The Use Of Ladies Rooms To Females?

North Carolina has stirred anger and threatened boycotts from the left by formalizing the right of businesses and local governments to require that males and females use appropriately designated “bathrooms”.  Males use one, females the other and both may enter a room set aside for families.

So what’s the problem?  On its face, common sense causes the answer to be:  “Huh?  You’re kidding about that, right?”

Alas, no. 

People who are transgender (wishing to be a different sex and usually dressing accordingly) apparently want the right to enter the room which matches their clothing not their anatomy. 

But what about the rights, for instance, of women to privacy?  And to be free of the leering attention – and perhaps worse – of men who dress up like women to indulge in their perverted desires?  Does the left mean to ease the lot of peeping toms who would no longer need to skulk about – just put on a dress?

Louis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland was supposed to be a political satire, not a prescient tract.
