California City Outlaws Single-Stall "Gender-Specific Restrooms"

California: Over $1 Trillion in the red and they've always got Lunacy like This which needs addressing.
weaselzippers;

Ending the scourge of gender-specific bathrooms is the defining issue of our time… on second thought, maybe not.
Via Fox News:
Businesses in West Hollywood have 60 days to comply with a new law requiring all single-stall restrooms to be gender-neutral and not restrict usage to a single sex.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that the law takes effect on Thursday with the aim of accommodating transgender and gender non-conforming people.
“I hope we can encourage other cities to adopt this,” Abbe Land, a councilwoman who initiated the law, reportedly said at a meeting last month. “It’s really so easy when you think about it, and I’m glad that we’re one of the cities that is moving forward on that.”
The Los Angeles suburb, which has a sizable gay and transgender population, passed the ordinance in June. It doesn’t apply to multiple-stall restrooms.
“Gender-specific restrooms can be unwelcoming and potentially unsafe for many people whose gender identity falls outside of traditional gender norms,” said a city statement released this week.

Thank You Fox News and Zip.

“Gender-specific restrooms can be unwelcoming and potentially unsafe for many people whose gender identity falls outside of traditional gender norms,” said a city statement released this week.

How "unwelcoming" are these places going to be to a woman who has to use one After a man who couldn't be bothered to lift the seat has used it?
