An Ohio lawmaker has proposed a politically correct bathroom bill that seeks to protect women from sexual predators rather than keep transgender men and women out of bathrooms for the opposite sex.

Either out of compete fear of retribution or plain confusion, Representative John Becker expressed that he has no desire to bar transgenders from the bathroom they "self-identify" with, but would like to find a way to keep sexual predators from entering bathrooms of the opposite sex. 

 "My concern is sexual predators posing as transgender people to gain access to women's facilities," he said. "I'm not suggesting that transgender people are sexual predators. I'm sure the vast majority are honest citizens going about their daily business."

John Becker neglects to mention that no one on his side of the argument ever suggested all transgenders were predators, just that both women and men should have the right to go to the restroom without intrusion of the opposite sex. 

A petition, launched by Tom Morgan, has already been launched to stop the bill, arguing the bill discriminatory to transgenders.

It was not about the water fountain then. It's not about the bathroom now. It's about fanning the flames of hysteria. To date, there have been no reported cases of a transgender person preying upon the safety or privacy of others in a public bathroom. An economic backlash against our state is inevitable if a bill of this nature passes. Don't do this to Ohio.

Ohio likely won't enact a bathroom bill on par with North Carolina, considering that Gov. John Kasich has previously stated he would sign no such bill into law.
