I’ve posted on this story regarding Baltimore County, Maryland last week after an amendment was introduced that would have exempted bathrooms, locker rooms and dressing rooms from a new measure that would add transgender individuals as protected under the county’s nondiscrimination policy.

Yesterday the city council voted to pass the nondiscrimination policy, and fortunately, DID NOT pass the crappy amendment. The only thing that concerns me now is this statement, “the council left the bathroom issue open to interpretation in the legislation, amending the measure so that the protections do not apply to “distinctly private or personal” facilities.”

What the heck are “distinctly private and personal facilities”?
