HELENA, Mont. (AP) A conservative group wants to let Montana voters decide whether transgender people must use public restrooms and locker rooms designated for their gender at birth a move that could thrust the state into the national debate over transgender rights.
The Montana Family Foundation launched its campaign to place the matter on next year's fall ballot after lawmakers declined to do so.
If approved by voters, the measure would affect how public schools, universities and other government agencies accommodate transgender people. Facilities designated for use by one sex would have to exclude the opposite sex.
The foundation called the effort a necessary step to protect "the privacy, safety and dignity" of Montana children and help guard against sexual predators.

This is embarrassing in 2017.
The rest of the human family on the planet need to boycott us until we grow up.

(6,810 posts)It is disgusting that full grown adults of any gender can go to the bathroom at the same time and place as children, so it is a necessary step to protect "the privacy, safety and dignity" of Montana children and help guard against sexual predators.
Also, we need to prevent children of non-Christian faiths from interacting with our precious lambs and corrupting them. And no negros either.

This is all so stupid. They just need to pee.

I will admit it took a little getting used to when Mama-San popped in to clean the head and you are taking a whiz.
THEY DON'T CARE!!!
And neither should anyone else. Bodily functions are not sexy, unless you're trump.
