William Bishop: Worried over bathroom crashers? Then keep everyone out

Boys with “feelings” entering girls’ bathrooms! Oh, the horror! We must protect the children! The only answer is … is ... strong, mannish women guarding the doors, “inspecting” our little girls’ genitalia before they can enter. Oh, the horror! We must protect the children. The only answer is … is ... abolish the bathrooms!

Boys with “feelings” have always been entering girls’ bathrooms. The only difference today is that now we can discriminate against people we don’t want to think about and call it acceptable collateral damage. What we have here are phony people trumpeting phony arguments. Give it a rest. If you want to change the world, start with the person in the mirror.

William Bishop, Modesto
