Transgender People--part 2

There have been actions in both Canada and the USA around transgender issues recently....  The Canadians are changing their laws to help eliminate prejudice and harassment against transgender people, and that's fine...although I think the public needs to have more education about the topic....  In the USA, there's some controversy because the federal government is making an issue over the sharing of bathrooms, in schools particularly, between transgender and non-transgender people.... 


Some schools have reportedly been asking for direction in how to handle transgender people regarding the bathroom and locker room use....  And some parents are getting worked up on Facebook because of what they fear is going to happen to their non-transgender children.... 


If people can remain calm and try to use common sense, it's more likely that solutions can be worked out, in my opinion....  It's good to get more information about the matter but it seems many of the major news sources in the USA have been broadcasting stories....  I think people need to educate themselves if they have concerns.... 


They say it's a very small percentage of the population which identifies themselves as transgender.... 
But those people are out there.  And it's not an easy matter for they, themselves, to deal with, I suppose....  It's serious for them. 


This is all I wish to say at this time....  [I may or may not say some more later...?]
