However, I reject the premise that it being about children actually does create a greater problem. Predators are going to do predator things and allowing people to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender is not going to increase the risks. When we have seen people try to take advantage of those policies they have been called out for it, and rightfully so.


Oh, you mistake me for someone who disagree with unisex bathrooms being the solution. I am currently working on a team to implement such an infrastructure at a Scout camp. I just also know that it isn't an inexpensive proposition. There will be special interest groups lobbying against government spending on the efforts when it comes to updating public property. Say something was passed similar to the ADA which required public serving businesses to implement this in their accommodations there would be a fervent lobby against it on the premise of it being additional regulations on businesses and so forth. The largest special interest group in this country is the Chamber of Commerce. Knowing what I know about their positions and how they approach legislation I would not see them being in favor of these actions. I also don't foresee the GOP position being one of embracing this sort of thing. So with all of that, the political feasibility of such a position just isn't there. Maybe in a few years, but there are a lot of things that would have to change for that. Maybe it will be lawsuits, but right now with the current SCOTUS makeup those against these moves will have an advantage judicially as well.

Thank you for the well-detailed response. I won't lie. When I was reading it I was thinking, Nah, I think bipartisanly we could work this out. But then I got towards the last sentence and heard Hannity in my head screaming "The deceiving Dems are wanting to take your tax dollars to build LGBTQ bathroom. Seriously folks, you can't make this stuff up."

I would like to hope it would be well received because as we discussed earlier, it meets a need and gives both parties a huge solution to a smaller problem which both could campaign on. Yet, with the amount of hatred towards one another, it's possible this thing would blow up.
