If a rapist wants to comit a rape in a bathroom, are there any laws currently in place other than disorderly conduct to stop him/her from entering bathrooms reserved for the opposite sex? If a rapist gets busted for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, does said rapist really care since he/she could have gotten busted for rape which is a felony? What if the rapist wants to rape someone of the same gender in a bathroom? People who commit sex crimes against children almost always are fully aware that attacking the child is the least effective way to carry out their crime. It's usually an act of deception and coercion, not violence. Unfortunately, it will continue to happen with or without child molesters being allowed use of the public restroom of their choosing. Finally, would allowing people who claim to be transgendered to use whatever bathroom they choose be more acceptable if gender appropriate security personnel were hired to monitor CCTV in public restrooms? I'll bet Target and all other dept stores would love to be able to legally watch what goes on in their bathrooms and it has nothing to do with transgendered people.

I've never understood how a man that molest a boy isn't homosexual behavior. Since I don't get that, not even gonna bother with the rest of it except to say my sentence is probably only another 40 years max.

If you got junk use the men's, who care if you have a dress or not. If you have a snatch use the womens, who care if you have shaved sides and a whisper beard. I don't care what you do or where you piss except for the child rapist who needs a 45 ACP between the eyes

Vic, I think some clarification is in order there. You been in the ladies room a few times? I did it on accident a couple times in my life, not paying attention to the sign. Ran the hell out as fast as I could as soon as I noticed there were no urinals. Thank goodness nobody saw.

Rudy my personal feelings about any and all people viewing me taking a leak mirror your own. I could care less. I'm sure I pissed behind a tree in front of a woman before and I'm sure I pissed standing next to a gay guy before, too. It's pissing FCOL! It's not a private restroom, it's public! I don't see the rapist issue as being more of a threat than it always has been and that was the reason I thought these questions up. It occurred to me that Target might be setting the stage for public bathroom CCTV to deter shoplifting. Maybe a little far fetched but then again, I don't believe Target gives a rip about transgendered people without some ulterior motive.
