There sure is a lot of talk about bathrooms lately I see E-mail after E-mail about this school district having bathrooms of gender preference or boys using girls shower rooms. Then there was the a major department store that publicized that you could choose which dressing room you wanted to use, it didn’t matter for which gender the room was intended. Now our Federal Government is suing North Carolina because they passed a law stating they had gender specific restrooms.

It’s amazing how much the government intrudes into our lives, now it has to intrude into our bathrooms too? Although I could say most of what the government does belongs in the toilet.  The world is in chaos and Department of Justice feels what bathroom you choose has high priority.  When I was young, everybody used the same public restroom. You just waited in line until the person in front of you came out and you hoped the fan was working. Then, in the 70s, if you were a business you had to have gender specific bathrooms.  Now we have to have to have laws stating you can choose whatever gender you want to be today and therefore choose whichever bathroom you want to go into. You’ve got to be kidding.

Gender is basic biology. Unless you are a single cell organism such as an amoeba, you have a gender. And if you can’t tell which gender you are, Maybe the government instead of making laws to allow anyone into any bathroom  they should assign the TSA with their body scanners outside public restrooms. Then the TSA can direct which restroom for you to use.

Pardon me now; I need to find a bush.
