Montana’s Fort Peck Indian Tribe Passes Transgender Bathroom Policy Modeled On North Carolina Law…

(excerpt)

Quote:
 
Tribal leaders of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation have adopted a transgender bathroom policy that mirrors the controversial bill in North Carolina recently opposed by President Obama.

With a majority vote in favor, the tribal executive board approved a policy Monday that requires people use the bathroom according to the gender on their birth certificate, not the gender they identify as.

According to the motion, which was carried, the tribe will mirror its policy after the language used by the state of North Carolina.

The policy was approved by nine council members and denied by one. Two members of the council were not present for the vote.

Opponents of the policy call it discriminatory toward transgender people.

Councilman Ed Bauer, who seconded the initial motion, was recorded in the meeting minutes as saying, “What people do in their bedrooms is their business. How public bathrooms are used is (my) business.”

See....we're no more of a monolithic bloc then any other minority..but if you're a pre-op transsexual, I'm guessing you're damned if you do, damned if you do, risk a beating, derision, insults if you go into a man's bathroom in women's clothing, or risk being called a pedophile or being arrested..

That being said, it wasn't unanimous..again, it's an image thing for any government, tribal, local, city, county, State, or Federal..don't want to appear to be soft on potential sex offenders and don't want to be seen as not wanting to protect women & girls..
