California Bathroom Law

It's truly a shame...

It's truly a shame that we should even NEED such legislation.

But since we do... I am glad to see it passing in at least some parts of the country. I just wish I was in one of those.

ahhhh,

In the UK, we have no need of such, there is no current specific legislation about who goes into which restroom, with the exception of an old Victorian law prohibiting ladies being within so many feet of an in use urinal, but only in publicly available conveniences. This I got from the local police, in the interests of clarity. I fail to see what all the fuss is about in the USA, its a bit grim when one can't go when needed...

That which does not kill me only serves to delay the inevitable. My blog => http://jaynemorose.wordpress.com/ <= note new address

Puddintane's picture

California law is silent (last I looked) on who uses what bathrooms, which I find irritating, as neither the law nor local agencies discourage men from using the women's facilities and pissing on the seats.

Some particular venues -- the Oakland Colosseum is one -- do enforce internal rules using their own rent-a-cops, but this is by no means universal. On the other hand, to be perfectly fair, I myself (being the feisty sort) have "liberated" men's toilets on several occasions after standing in very long lines for what seemed entirely too long. Most men are fairly sanguine about such things, perhaps because they dimly perceive the injustice of current building codes which mandate grossly inadequate numbers of stalls in women's bathrooms, despite the fact that any idiot might notice long lines of women waiting whilst men waltz in and out of theirs at leisure.
