That reminds me, a former PAer showed me a punk band a few days ago called G.L.O.S.S. (Girls Living Outside Society's sh*t)

Can I snort some speed and still go to a classical concert? 

^ Besides you'd be squirming in your seat like a nine year-old with your parents asking is it over yet.

Quite a bit of interesting classical music out there, especially if you dare to venture beyond the scope of the long dead cliches.

How about the recent discrimination case in Illinois in regards to the trans girl who was forced to use private changing/shower facilities? Here's an article

Here in Brazil is common to transgender people to develop blatter issues and infections, because they avoid public bathrooms just because of the prejudice.

Hm, I must say I would not want her to be in a shower with me. No matter how much she feels like a woman, the body is still the body of a man, and I would feel intimidated if she was in a shower with me.

I don't quite get it. Non-discrimination in what regard? All people using the same facilities, regardless of gender?

Yeah, but I'am talking about public toiletes, Bald... no one is going to look you naked in a bathroom.

The T wrote: No. Even more open. Just no-discrimination for anything in Houston. Based on religion, gender, orientation, race, etc. But the Republicans used this fear I mentioned to have people vote against it. Unbelievable.

I would draw the line there somewhere. I would not want a man showering with me in the same room st the same time, and I think a lot of women would feel the same.

Interestingly I have no problem with being on a nude beach with men present. But a shower room feels more intimate for me.

Pretty recently I saw an article aobut fearmongering ads concerning "boys being able to look at your daughter in the bathroom" or something to that effect being used in a place I can't remember off the top of my head.

Excuse me? What exactly are you propagating?
