Commentary Review, Public Restrooms!


I’m reviewing Jennifer Silva, “Taking Culture Wars to the Toilet”, article. Her blog focused on Target's new policy allowing transgender to choose which restroom they think it’s right for them. Jennifer mentioned that customers are worried for their kids and how a grown adult man could probably do harm to their child. In which she agrees with a man and a woman to have their separate restrooms. Jennifer did a great job saying what the issues were and what were her opinions about gender restroom. And while I agree that a man or woman not transgender being able to walk in the opposite sex restroom may look weird, it still doesn’t take away from the fact that why shouldn’t a transgender go in the restroom they feel they are meant to be in. We all know what a transgender means, it means that they don’t believe that they are the sex they were born to be. So why should a transgender men or woman have to go to a restroom where they don’t feel like they belong in! Restrooms are a place to go in and come out, that’s it, why think more than that! To those parents that fear for their kids, they have two options in my opinion. One, is leave the restroom and go to another one, or second, if you fear for your kid just lookout for them. Transgenders are going to restrooms for the same reasons as me and you. So why make it a big deal for someone who believes to be a woman or a men to use the bathroom to the gender they believe to be. At the end of the day, transgender man and women will always be given a second stare. If a transgender man walks in a men’s restroom dressed as a woman his not going to be wanted, so why not let her pee in the place where she feels comfortable in.? And if someone pretending to be a transgender wonder in the wrong restroom, that can be taken to court. Why punish other peoples rights and equality because of fear of something that might not happen!
