I'm hearing logically contraditory arguments about the transgender bathroom issue:

1) It's terribly distressing for a trangendered person to use a bathroom or locker room designated for people with the same type of genitals that the transgendered person currently has.

2) If a transgendered person uses a bathroom or locker room designated for people with genitals different from what the transgendered person currently has, the other people in that room are supposed to have no care whatsoever.

These rooms are not designated according to what type of genitals people want or don't want to see, it's according to what they have, but until now, we've simply referred to those by the words "male" and "female", which no longer works.

I would say, how about instead of naming the rooms by gender, we name them by anatomy? If you have a penis, use the room for people with penises. If you have a vagina, use the room for people with vaginas. Once you get a sex-change operation, start using the other type of room.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
