I'd have to agree that this has been a non-story since it affects a fraction of a percent of Americans...during moments of having to go to the bathroom. I hope we can turn our attention to greater issues. And I think this is a perfect opportunity for Democrats to learn how to respond in the face of adversity. After seeing their disasterous results in the election, lets see if they can learn from that and develop a new strategy.

Fringe issues did not help the Democrats in November.
Calling half of the nation deplorable, racists, misogynists, xenophobic and all the other class warfare labels did not help the Democrats in November.
So far the DNC and that parties "leadership" don't seem to get it.

How exactly are those terms "class warfare labels"? Plenty of sexist racist pigs in every strata.
My answer to the great bathroom debate is if you have a p**** , you use the mens room. If you don't have one, use the ladies room.
Some folks are born physicaly "in between" so that argument doesn't work.
At concerts women frequently use the men's room when lines are long.
Yep, I've seen this and what "Bothers me" about it that there has been a woman "Standing guard" at the door saying "You can't go in there right now".....Well, why not?
The root of this conflict is the impossibility of privacy in a public space. It goes way beyond the gender stuff. It is a worthy subject for sociological study, and it looks like the UC Berkeley course is examining many aspects of the issue. For example, my property tax funds the public library which has bathrooms that are the only place homeless people can wash up. I am ok with that, but the bathrooms are filthy. These are serious social matters. Then there is security. When there are other people in there my main concern is usually are they nuts or going to rob or assault me? I am always on guard. That is ok, I can defend myself, but how do people who are feeble feel in a space with sketchy folks hanging around? And on and on. Point being to write off a valid college study as leftist dysfunction just shows that you could use some schooling.
In keeping with Berkeley's liberal political activism I doubt all sides of the issue will be fairly discussed.
Then there is this disturbing quote:
“The four-credit course fulfills Berkeley's "reading and composition" general education requirement, and is offered through the Theater Department, which also has a course on the "impending climate-related apocalypse."
At some point an "incident" will occur and this subject will hit the headlines nationwide.
Republicans accuse Dems of 'hypocrisy' after 'bathroom bill' repeal falls apart
Published December 22, 2016
North Carolina Republican leaders are blasting their Democratic colleagues after a supposedly bipartisan deal to repeal the state’s “bathroom bill” limiting LGBT protections collapsed Wednesday night, with every Senate Democrat balking in the end.
All 16 Senate Democrats voted against the repeal legislation in the end.

I've never been asked to leave.
My worst Mens Room experience was at a Tina Turner concert at Nassau Coliseum. Took my wife and out of 12K people about 10K were women (something about someone singing about what scum men are will do that.) I had a few beers and twice circled to concourse unable to find the facilities. Legs crossed and soon to wet myself I found someone who worked there. Seems every mens room had been changed into a ladies room and a trailer had been set up for the men in the parking lot

Not "asked to leave"....told "You can't go in there" because there is a woman using the men's room.

Never been c**k blocked that way either
The upside is that men (actual men with the corresponding equipment) can pretty much take a leak anytime and almost any where. For the ladies that is much different.
What do you think is going to happen when a little girl comes running out of the ladies room and tells her daddy that there is a man in there?
Should men be allowed to write their name in the snow?

Hard to tell when it's all stalls........

Probably illegal in some States.

Only with their girlfriend's handwriting.
Or that of muledouche's mom.
