It's really a no win situation... You're either going to have somebody that looks and acts like a man but is actually a woman using the women's bathrooms. Or you have someone that looks and acts like a woman but is actually a man using the women's bathrooms. I'm not sure what I would rather have my children exposed to. It's a world gone mad.

U.S. Army Captain Sim-rat-pal Singh was granted a long term accommodation by assistant Army Secretary
Debra Wada allowing him
to wear a Turban, uncut hair and a beard while in uniform.
Singh had followed army grooming procedure from 2006-2014.
He stated,
"I am thankful that I no longer have to make the choice between faith and service to our nation."
Amandeep Sidhu, one of Singh's attorneys, called the decision "A step in the right direction" adding
we are
not satisfied with the U.S. military's approach to this issue, which forces all observant Sikhs to seek individual
religious accommodations.

Previously Ms Wada served as Legislative Assistant for U.S. senator D.K. Akaka, acting as the senator's
principle aid on national defense, veterans affairs, maritime issues, education and welfare.
Her birth certificate states she was born in Honolulu, Hi.
D. K. Akaka U.S. senator from Hawaii (D) 1990-2014 first appointed in 1990 by Gov John Waihee (D)
Akaka is of Chinese ancestry and has a birth certificate stating he was born in Honolulu, Hi.
How about that 3 for 3... President Obama (D) says he has a certificate of birth stating Honolulu, Hi too.
I thought this was an April Fool's joke, until fact checking and finding it all true.
