Here is my opinion of bathrooms. I don't give a shit.. well I might be giving a shit in the bathroom... I don't care who is in there.

As far as gender goes... the science says that gender is in the brain. Personal identity is in the brain. Just like how who I am exists in my brain... and if I lost a penis in 'Nam I'd still be male.

I don't care about bathrooms either, but it serves to ilkustrate a valuable point on the meaning and value of liberty as a principle. What do you think about people's rights to decline to participate? Obviously participation in some things must be mandated, but I do not see the necessity of legislation in social issues like these. Why shouldn't Burger King be free to run their bathrooms as they see fit?

As for gender being in the brain, gender has been pretty clearly defined as analogous to sex, which is very narrowly defined. Sure character and identity are in the brain, but so are intelligence and mental illness. People should be free to do as they like so long as their behavior does not harm others, but delusion should not be used as the golden standard for validating abnormal behavior.
