#1 Something tells me that if Rena were to see the "Loretta" scene in Life of Brian, she wouldn't get the joke.

"He's over there..."

#3 mandatory transgender sensitivity : check.
$2,000 payment : check.
law that prohibits discrimination : check (see two above).

Yup, all is going swell, along the lines defined by the Forces of Progress.

#4 Does this mean a bull dyke can use the men's room?

One would think.

#5 I can see why women don't want to go potty with a 6'4" 250 pound "gal" in a dress, pony tail and falsies. And yes I did see that in a large corporate environment and took all my self control to keep from falling down laughing.

#6 Why bother having restrooms segregated by sex? It would save money and lawyers valuable time if we just had one ditch on the side of the road for everyone.

#7 By the way, I've always wondered : which lavatory does Ranma use?

#8 "Hey, GK, look over there. Is that a woman or a man?"
"If there's any doubt about it, I ain't interested."

#9 Next up: A $1,000 fine for laughing at a tranny.

#10 The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to allow riders to use MTA rest rooms "consistent with their gender expression,"...

Rhetorical question. So you're at the Streisand concert at the Garden, Helena, and the line for the lady's room is out the door. There is no line at the men's room.
How "consistent is your gender expression" now?

#11 Oh, enough already, just do your business in the bushes, and let's be done with that!

#12 The result of this in airports etc. will be lounges with individual toilet rooms and the mirrors and wash sinks being shared by for both sexes. And the best part about it will be that men will have to wait in line just like the we do ;-)

#13 How Vicious! Vindictive! Vengeful! Venomous!

You aren't my ex, are ya?

#14 That's not what I hear. Unisex bathrooms will be lined only with stand up troughs. Then men will get to complain about women's aim.

#15 Think this through, Ed. Do you guys REALLY want your mothers, wives, aunts to be there and insist you wash your hands afterwards???

#16 It could be a problem about the toilet seat up and down issue, but pretty soon they will have minders to make sure you all pee sitting down.

#17 I will tell dear ole granny I already washed my hands in the bowl.

Anon, you laugh now.

#18 that is so funny - I was thinking about making up a snarky comment along those lines but truth is stranger than fiction!

Things won't really be "equal" in the true sense of the word today, until the lesbians win their inevitable demand that you have to cut it off and give it to them.

#19 Lol, ed. So, um, it just means they'll be "trained" not to lift the lid, first...

#20 FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG: What's the point?
FRANCIS: What?
REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

#21 Something like this really happened at Motorola in Los Angeles during the 80s. Once again it was the women who objected.

We had a DBA who was changing genders (it was a 2 year process), and the question came up which room "it" should use.

He wanted to be called Sheila, but everyone called him "He-la".
