I heard California may start allowing kids to chose their gender [View All]

and so kids who are born with male genitals that feel more like females will then be allowed to go to the girls locker room and vice-versa.

They were talking about this on the local radio station here in New Mexico a while back and almost everyone calling in thought the idea was nuts! I mean people were going off about this as "San Francisco Values". I was wondering if I am the only person who actually thinks this is a good idea?

I base my opinion on the following situation. A friend of mine use to have a roommate who turned out to be gay. They worked at the Grand Canyon and lived in company housing and so there was a shower right in the middle of the room where they both slept. It made my friend really uncomfortable getting in and out of the shower realizing this guy seemed to be attracted to him. Anyway, this guy who happened to be gay went through several male roommates as everyone moved out once they found out he was gay and even dressed in drag (I have nothing against gays by the way just telling you what happened). Anyway, the gay fellow finally ended up rooming with the female manager and she knew he was gay and things then worked out perfectly! They got along great!

Based on this situation, it just makes sense to me that someone who is gay should probably go to the locker-room where they are not attracted to the other people in there because that is really their true gender no matter what genitals they have. Me personally? I could care less one way or the other which locker room gays and lesbians go to.

I would be interested in hearing from people who feel more like the opposite sex. How do you feel about this? Which locker room would you feel more comfortable in? How do you feel about California doing something like this?

I think this is something that should be out in the open so people like me can understand what its like for those who feel like they were born in the wrong body and how something as simple as going to the locker room effects you.

Thoughts? Lets see if DU is anything like those calling into the radio show, or not?
