Because the premise of a biological man wasn't fully defined.

There was all kinds of backhanded slap going on in that nonsense thread.

So I'm kicking this for the truth . . . and recommending it because I'm not going to tolerate a woman being forced into the men's room (I've peed in them before - urinal zones are NASTY . )where she is most likely to be physically assaulted or the victim of a hate crime than she is when she's peeing with the girls.

I'm a black woman and I have my own issues. I'll take care of those. But who is going to take care of those who are vulnerable and existing in a cookie cutter world of what is acceptable and what is not?

I am my sister's and brother's keeper. So it's on me.
