Personally, I don’t agree or disagree this with the law this could go either way with me. In many ways since I am apart of the LGBT community, I know what it feels like to be an outcast and not feel like you 're in the right place, or that someone is judging you because you think otherwise or you do something a different way than other people. Since transgender already feel the way that they do I think that they should be able to do what they want freely and that means if a man feels like he 's a woman and he wants to use a woman 's restroom I feel like he should be able to do that and vice versa with a woman. This result would make lots and people happy but it could also cause problems to …show more content…

If you really think about it though no one is going to sit around and monitor each and everyone that comes out of a bathroom and also there is no way of knowing everyone 's sex as stated not everyone is going to look like what they were born with. I believe that there are ways around this problem just have stalls in every restroom, no urinals so no one has to see anybody using the bathroom and everyone feels safe and

Broyde, published by CNN, and titled “Transgender Bathroom Issue: A Solution?”, gives a synopsis of the issue of letting people go into the bathroom of their identified gender, rather than just their birth gender.
