[QUOTE="witzend, post: 669513, member: 99"] If it were me, I'd be wary of the "Say nothing" advice. Someone will say something, and then your discussions about it will become an issue. Anyone who has said anything about "transgender" will be under scrutiny. I'm not sure where you live but in most places you must accommodate either by specific law or the ADA. I agree with Suzir - unless stands up to pee in the stall with the door open, or uses the men's urinal in heels and a dress, what is there to object to. The bathroom should be a non-issue unless something untoward happens in the bathroom. This is the world we live in. If there are members of your group making a fuss, your leaders should get in front of it before they end up in court for discrimination. Treat the person fairly, as you would want your child to be treated. Address inappropriate behavior by the behavior, not the clothing that the person is wearing. Designated leaders in groups like yours are the ones who will be named in a lawsuit if one comes up. Honestly, if I were transgendered and a small community grouop tried to keep me from using the restroom or being a part of my childs activity in the group because of how I dressed, I'd sue as well. [I]Deal with the behavior, not the clothing[/I]. [/QUOTE]
