LINK Kansas lawmaker complains about sharing a bathroom with a trans colleague : NPR
TOPEKA, Kan. — LGBTQ rights advocates called Tuesday for a Kansas state lawmaker to be formally censured after she publicly said she didn't want to share the women's restrooms at the Statehouse with a transgender colleague.
The Kansas House's top Republican called GOP state Rep. Cheryl Helmer's comments "unfortunate" and Democrats condemned them. The state's leading LGBTQ rights lobbyist saw "a new level of toxic bigotry" in Helmer's emailed remarks to a University of Kansas student and subsequent interviews about Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers.

Her greatest fear, being found attractive, is now her reality. I think all restrooms should have locking stalls and be uni-sex. If it's vacant then whomever gets there first wins.
