True, the only issue is when we make feel good policy without thinking it through. California is trying to make bathrooms and locker rooms a choice by gender identification. This is cool as long as they are smart about it (they might be, I don't know one way or the other). I know without a doubt half of the guys in my graduating class would have claimed transgender to use to the girls locker rooms. Hormones are a helluva drug.
Getting back to the kids, when I was 13 this would have been awesome. When the daughter is 13, it's panic inducing. Parents are not the most rational when it comes to their own.
