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.
