Hotel rooms, hospital rooms, restaurants, etc. Mississippi just passed a bill authorizing hospitals to refuse to treat Trans or married Gays. The states of California and New York shouldn't export LGBT persons to discriminatory states so they can be subjected to discrimination. I'd argue that it is actually DANGEROUS to send a LGBT person to Mississippi, because the state legislature has just affirmed turning away LGBT persons from medical care.

Again, the college athletics group hasn't seen it to be a problem that there has been only 1 person in the history of FBS to ever play a down in college football as an openly Gay player. There's never been an openly Gay football operations employee - ever. There's been exactly 2 high ranking athletic department employees - ever. I wouldn't expect them to care very much about our concerns. They aren't facing the discrimination. And quite frankly, there doesn't seem to be any participation by LGBT persons in those decisions anyway.

All we get from this is a big fat bill for the substantial expense of these programs. Now they want us to be humiliated to attend away games of the programs were paying significant amounts for.

Either discrimination is okay, or its not. But know that no matter how much people who don't face discrimination think that the very real discrimination we face is irrelevant, that we feel it to be very relevant. And we will use any lever we can to fight that discrimination. And if it causes some splatter on a group that has ignored our concerns and has either deliberately or negligently discriminated against us for decades, then why should we care?

You were born, except in very rare cases, male or female, go to the bathroom of the gender born with. Case closed, issue resolved.

Too complicated....

By the way, the simplest solution is to build unisex bathrooms only and have a changing room with facilities for mother's or father's with small children. Both would be lockable from the inside and it wouldn't matter who followed whom into the unisex facility.

Great solution.....but too costly. Can you imagine the cost of retrofitting existing buildings/adding a third bathroom.
