If you have two minutes and thirty-five seconds, this clip from “Saturday Night Live” will, I think, crystallize your thinking about the whole “transgender bathroom” issue some seem obsessed with. Watch. People just need to relax a little.
(On an only vaguely related note, I had the opportunity to speak at a NYU Law School symposium on LGBTQIA equality last week — I had assumed the Q was “questioning” but it is apparently “queer” and I was a little embarrassed not to know what I and A were (intersex! asexual!*) — so I decided to make it LGBTQQIAJ. And after using that term a couple of times to perplexed looks — now who was embarrassed? — I explained that the second Q was to reinstate questioning and that I’d added the J as a point of personal privilege. “Just not all that good at it.”)
Have a great weekend.
