That odd urinal wouldn't work for me either. I need to sit down when I pee because my doctor doesn't want me lifting anything heavy.

I need to sit down to pee first thing in the morning, because at that hour, I am usually lacking two vital things: coffee, and my glasses!

Mine wouldn't fit.

Too short to reach?

DURAN DURAN ON THEIR UPCOMING SHOW IN NORTH CAROLINA
April 14th, 2016

With respect to the current storm which is howling through this State, we considered cancelling our show on Saturday, but decided to go ahead, both for the sake of our fans and to support those in North Carolina who feel as strongly as we do about this issue. We see this as an opportunity to make the following statement.

Yes here it is again, just plain old fashioned prejudice, fear and oppression, the same old kind that’s blighted the human race, in varying degrees, for all of its history. Duran Duran is opposed to bigotry and discrimination in all of its ugly forms, and so it follows that we are opposed to the basic premise of HB2. We support the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender community, to have equal opportunities. We support their rights to live free, happy, fulfilled lives. If you live in this State and feel the same way, we urge you to register, so that you can vote; so that your voice can be heard. We urge you to sign this petition which will be presented at the General Assembly meeting on April 25th in North Carolina. You have the power to repeal this outdated and cruel legislation.

Sign up forms for the petition and information about HB2 and how to repeal it will be available at the show on Saturday night – so go visit the teams manning the Equality NC stalls that will be on site.

Our thanks to both Equality NC (http://www.equalitync.org) and NC Needs You (a new organization dedicated to connecting performers with likeminded nonprofits in the state battling against HB2) for their support and education on this issue. And, like us, please support Time Out Youth (http://www.timeoutyouth.org/), who will also be at the show and do incredible work with LGBT youth in the area.

– Simon, Nick, John & Roger

The one on the right costs more than the one on the left. It's the price of bigger tree.

Why did any of this even come up? As @W remarked, years ago people just went where they "appeared" to belong. Scooters picture of a "lady" that looks like a MMA guy and @W encounter in the ladies room just reinforces that appearances can be judged to be "incorrect".
Of course the pedophiles and wierdo's may use the law or lack of a law to their advantage, but they really don't care about the law anyway.
Was this only brought up because the trans's want their own room?

Scooter--where is that rape data from--1 out of every 7 (roughly 15%) girls is raped in their college freshman year? that sounds suspect (edited to add: I recall hearing about a study that placed something around that proportion of college women who were victims of rape or attempted rape, but that is different from what the statement says). As for rapists being heterosexual men, isn't that because rape is defined as vaginal penetration in most states (vs forced sodomy or other sexual crimes)?

I have no problem with the viewpoint raised, but the data appears suspect to me.

Most states define rape as penetration of any bodily orifice by any object for the sexual gratification of the rapist; i.e., a man who puts his finger inside a little girl's vagina or his penis in a boy's mouth is a rapist, and a woman who puts her finger in a boy's anus or a little girl's vagina is also a rapist. It's just a long-established statistical fact that many more men are rapists than are women.

Here's a good and fairly recent article explaining rape stats on college campuses:
