Under the Radar

Of course, there has been much controversy over the fight to allow a person to enter a restroom corresponding to the gender that person "identifies with," and not necessarily the restroom corresponding to that person's actual gender.

The default, knee-jerk reaction is to say that it is about men wanting to dress as women to enter the ladies' room - presumably to view the ladies. Possibly to carry out a perverted act. And possibly to view or act upon a little girl. These are certainly likely scenarios.

However, another scenario would be that a cross-dressing woman would want to enter a men's room. This one is more sinister. The cross-dressing woman could then claim rape or sexual harassment against one or more men in the restroom. This would be disastrous, as our court systems already unfairly favor women.

The man would be guilty until proven innocent. And the poor soul might have done nothing wrong. His only fault would have been being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Thoughts?

  1. I really liked this article and other articles you've authored.

    Would you be OK if I shared one of your articles with the WriterBeat.com community? I can provide more information about Writer Beat or answer any question, but better than anything I can say in words, please take a look at the site.

    If yes, just give me an "OK" and I'll handle the rest (there is no fee).
