Adults should be able to identify as any gender they want. Modern science means they can even change their physical characteristics and take hormones, which will mimic the opposite sex.I may not understand it, but it doesn’t affect me, so I should have no say in how another adult lives his, her, or its life.Bathroom policies should be decided by business owners.
