So who are the proponents of this IM?
Working on it…
Proponents are South Dakota moms and dads that don’t want their daughters showering, changing clothes or going to the restroom with a boy, and visa-versa. Pretty simple.
Names would be simpler.
That doesn’t happen in the first place, though the thought of RuPaul hiking up her skirt next to Fred in the mens room is a mental image I’d just as soon not see realized.
Who started this same sex school facilities campaign and why?
Don’t know who, but here is why. http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/58525-frightening-incidents-begin-in-target-s-transgender-friendly-bathrooms As a father, I would be uncomfortable with boys undressing with girls or using the same facilities in school locker rooms and bathrooms. As a grandfather, I would be very uncomfortable with some people using my 6 year old granddaughter as a pawn to make their sick point.
