What's your opinion about trans-gender access to school "bathrooms"?

If one has a penis one uses the Boy's Room.  If one does not have a penis one uses the Girl's Room. 

I hate that it's become such a big issue. It's truly a distraction. Trans people make up less than 1%  of the population, so how this became such a huge national issue is beyond me. People need something to rail against in the culture wars I guess.

Public bathrooms are awkward enough without all this crap.

I've answered this question before on other websites but my answer remains the same. If a person isn't sure which restroom to use, they need to unzip their pants and take a peak. If there's a pole, you're a man and you use the men's room, if there is a valley down there, you're a woman and you use the women's room. It really is that simple. They will it's a discrimination issue but it's not. Discrimination would be if we didn't allow them to use either restroom solely because they claimed to be transgender. There is a legitimate safety concern especially for women. Here in North Carolina, at least two men have been arrested already for claiming they should use the women's room then they started snapping pictures of the women. Ironically, one of those men was in a Target restroom but that's beside the point. Transgender makes up a very small portion of our society. Why should we risk the safety and privacy of about 98% of the population simply so someone can feel validated? I say this goes triple for children. They are especially vulnerable and we need to be sure they are protected.

Not just schools but all public bathrooms.  Go to the bathroom that corresponds with the sex checked on  your birth certificate.

i think that they should be allowed to use the bathroom of the sex they identify with and espcially if they have done the gender reassinginng surgery. it is inhiman and denial of their basic rights as a human being to be refused to use a public bathroom they prefer. This might have been normal and fair 50 years ago when there was no awareness or education about these topic but it is not right it is fair and we should not let this happen in this day and age.

Penis? Boy's Room. No penis? Girl's Room.

My opinion is if they are former women who have become men they should use the men's bog, and if they were men, but have become women, they should use the lady's. I don't expect any man to be forced to use the lady's, or any woman to be forced to use the men's.
The issue of allowing children or teens to start to express their transgender identity while young is a contentious one, but I do not doubt that those genuinely gender dysphoric, are aware of it from a very young age. The argument in favour of taking early medical steps, is that they will go on suffering mentally if action is not taken. Also, if they enter the confusion of puberty in the gender they are born in, it is argued that it is too late. I am sympathetic to the whole issue, and I hope the health care professionals take great care in assessing their case as genuine before going too far along the path to transition. I don't know if there is any really reliable data on how common the condition is, but I think I do share your worry that some people may be looking for this condition where it may not really exist, nowadays.
The "bathrooms" issue came up in the United States because the religious right lost the gay marriage argument, so they took it out on the transgender populace. There is not really an issue there. It is just a lot of bitter people who find it hard to tolerate difference, taking out their frustration on a vulnerable group.
