At the end of Michael Goodwin's NY Post piece on Hillary's unraveling campaign is a section about a reader comment on the bathroom fight. Change it to a locker room fight and the reader is betting the poll numbers will change.
“Bathrooms are very private places,” he writes. “Locker rooms and shower rooms are not. How many women would be happy to share a locker room or shower with a transgender woman who has male sexual organs?
“My guess is that the polling numbers would be dramatically different if pollsters asked about locker rooms instead of bathrooms.”
Poll results can be pre-ordained in the questions asked.
I wonder if the poll numbers would change if the pollsters asked the women being polled not how they feel about sharing a bathroom with the transgendered woman with male sexual organs, but how they'd feel about their daughter having to share a locker room.
After all, it was the prospect of Charlotte public school students having to share locker rooms that started the whole fight to begin with.

Pretend security; real long waits! TSA warned flyers' patience at "breaking point" over long lines:

Loved this from that article IRA:

Agree w/Conan above as it puts a whole new meaning into "How's it hanging?."
But it's only fair since as HP states women only gyms are important for business networking as well as fitness. (Think they'll be understanding?)
