Bathrooms!

Sometimes we Americans just look ridiculous! The sudden “bathroom wars” issue is a case in point.

We were just in France.  In one place we visited the men’s room was being cleaned. That didn’t bother the French at all – they simply all – men and women alike – went into the women’s room (which after all, has private stalls for everyone). No fuss. Just a practical solution.

In another place we visited, there was a line for the women’s room, so a few of the women simply went and used an unused men’s room. No fuss.  Just a practical, matter-of-fact solution.

Yet with all the really serious issues we face as a nation, what is consuming us at the moment – the issue of where a transgender person can pee!!  It’s absurd.
