OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

No worries, my friend. It was not my intention to segregate, as opposed to creating space for everyone to do their business in private. Bodily function stuff can be a private and personal matter to many. Your idea seemed to capture the essence.

 

LOL. I think you missed what I was relating. Not surprising, though. Some of the things I say in here are lost on many. But, I digress...

In other words, I was simply saying that I'm still learning to understand and accept the whole trans situation.

 

I want to know where the outrage is about what people leave behind after they use the toilet damnit! What part of "public" toilet says you fill and let the next person flush it? Now this is a public service announcement! Seeing a pile of poop is more traumatizing to children than seeing a person pee!

 

I used the "green" font specifically for that post and still....whoosh!" Maybe you're actually color blind..?

 

Not color blind, but you might want to use a lighter shade of green next time.

 

That's color discrimination! Font profiling! So my green is too "dark" for ya....sure.....!

 

Nice. Now just awaiting your announcement that you will be soon running for ______________ political office.

Anyway, you're doing a yeoman's job of smoothing waters. Something a good mod should always be cognizant of. Keep up the great work, Skipper!

 

As we always used to say in the wastewater treatment industry, “It may be sewage to you but it’s my bread and butter…..”

 

I'll not soon forget a sign on the side of a paving company's truck:

"Use us to repave your driveway or it's your own asphalt."

 

Yeah, I completely agree. I just just wanted to point out that the idea of excluding people from a given room is where I believe the problem lies.

It is a change, and I understand people can be resistant to change. But I fail to see the down side other than some increased cost. Which seems minimal.

I'd fully support a tax incentive or rebate structure which covers the cost of updates for every business in the country.

 

I have been running from ______________ political office.
About 20 years ago I knew a lady in Beaverton who was politically active. She tried and tried to get me to run for some position in the Wolf Creek Water District because I was firmly against ever getting our drinking water from the Willamette river. My disabilities were starting to get the better of me and I was spending too much time at the VA hospital so I had to repeatedly decline. Finally, she gave up.

 

If these incidences are true, I still go back to the need for signage of some sort at the front door.

EXCLUSIVE: LA mom recalls her shock after person with a 'beard and penis' got into women-only hot tub with her six-year-old daughter at Wi Spa - where clashes between trans activists and rival protesters broke out last week

Anita, a millennial daughter of Latin immigrants, says she is a Democrat voter and a supporter of the queer community, but felt compelled to speak out about the thorny issue in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.

'I read about the spa in a magazine, the LA Parent, and I'd driven past it before late at night and it almost looks like a nightclub, with cars lined up waiting to get in,' she said.

'It's in Korea Town and is super-Korean. There's entire families – moms, dads, two kids, and they're just hanging out at all hours. It just seemed like a really cool thing to try with my daughter.'

Anita described her January 2020 visit to the spa, which has a clothed section for both sexes, and separate sections for men and women with locker rooms, hot tubs, massage, relaxation and pampering rooms where patrons are traditionally unclothed.

'When I walked into the women's section everyone was naked,' she said.

'I wasn't raised to be super comfortable being naked around others. But I'm from LA and it's kind of hip to participate in authentic cultural things.

'I didn't want my daughter to feel uncomfortable and I saw a lot of little Korean girls naked with their grandmas and their moms, it was really cute actually. I was like, wow this is something that I didn't know existed, this is awesome.'

Anita and her daughter put on face masks, ate snacks and hung out in the sauna. Then the little girl asked to swim in the hot tub.

'We were in there with five or six other women. She was swimming and splashing at me and stuff,' she said.

'Then these three people came and sat down on the edge of the hot tub. It was two women and what appeared 100% to be a man.

'All three people were white. The two girls had tattoos and colored hair. I don't like the whole race-baiting thing, but I would categorize them as the privileged, white, progressive-type people.

'They came in with this air of entitlement. It was almost an aggressive attitude.

'I'm trying really hard not to get in trouble calling the person with a penis a male, but the 'guy' was this skinny white guy with scraggly long hair and a beard. He had a five o'clock shadow on him, and his penis and scrotum hanging out.

'The person I saw seemed like an activist… Almost enjoying everyone around them being uncomfortable.

'The other Korean women in the hot tub were looking at each other like 'what the f**k?' We all suddenly were quietly communicating with our eyes.

'[The Korean women] were motioning at my daughter, she was giggling and splashing, she hadn't noticed.

'All around the locker room you see all the women suddenly whispering and this tense feeling............(CONT.)
