Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
Jill Richardson’s tirade about the bathroom bills was passionate but not convincing.
Her tiresome litany of women’s issues has nothing to do with the latest crusade of liberals. Requiring men to use men’s facilities is not discrimination but plain common sense. In fact, it is a civil rights issue! It is within our civil rights to have an expectation of basic privacy!
 It is the civil rights of 16-year-old high school girls to feel comfortable without their privacy violated by a member of the opposite sex in the lockers and showers. 
Your gender is determined by your chromosomes, not how you might feel! Let’s put some common sense back into this discussion and not allow a few to trample the civil rights of the rest of us.
