I have to disagree with Tranz Central Coast (“Misguided criticism highlights the need for this law,” Feb. 13).
While I don’t have a dog in this fight, I truly don’t care what people want to do with or to themselves. Identify as whoever you want to be. But, I am not going to teach my kids that this is a “normal” way to live. I do not want a biologically opposite gendered person using the same bathroom/shower facility or changing room as my kid, boy or girl.
Maybe this is my problem, and not the transgendered person’s, but it’s my opinion that I do not want them around my kids in their formative years. Call it bigoted, biased, whatever—it probably is.
This is not coming from a religious, Republican, conservative-influenced point of view. This is coming from a common-sense point of view. And I feel that more legislation, to single out and protect special interest groups, is not in the best interest of the general population.
