Harris letter: Transgender restrooms

I greatly resent the guest opinion published on May 18 by Jennifer Gess. This is regarding transgenders using whichever bathroom they identify themselves with. Well, I am a straight, normal woman, and I do not identify with a man in the women’s restroom — no matter who they think they are. Remember the rest of us have civil rights, too.

Interesting that Obama did not come up with this crazy idea while his girls were small.

Male genitals belong in a men’s restroom. End of story.
