e cities that are red states or red local government, the Republicans I think probably are good on crime. So if you were moving into an office building that had been converted in a red city, it might be a great thing. Imagine living in a high-rise in the middle of the city, the city you want to live in, and you've got a full gym — like not just a little crappy one like they have with some apartmen…

All right. Kansas passed a law that you — this feels too far too. Kansas passed a law that trans people can't use the — I guess if you're going to use the woman's restroom in Kansas and after I don't know, in a few months or something when the law goes into effect, you have to have ovaries. I think the ovaries is where they decided to draw the line. If you were not born with ovaries then you'd have to use the male bathroom I guess. Now of course it's what you're born with, so hysterectomies are not irrelevant. Questions while you were born with.
What do you think of that? And I'm wondering what happens if you were a trans woman and you went into a woman's restroom and somebody complained. Would you have to prove you do or do not have ovaries? Or would people just admit it so you wouldn't have to prove it? How does anybody know if you have ovaries? Can they tell just by looking at you? I guess the person they put on Bride magazine you could tell, but I don't know if you could always tell. I don't know. We'll see how this law works.
I would like to add to the trans bathroom issue that their natural alliance would be with people who have paruresis, shy bladder. As I've mentioned way too many times, there are a number of people — and I'm one of them — who can't use public restrooms because our bodies just won't do it. You can force yourself to be there and trying to do it but your body just won't do it if there are people around. It's a sort of a psychological condition mostly. But those people — and I'm one of them so I can say — those people in this case really, really need an option where there's just a single bathroom option.
So if you added all the trans people, of which there are more every day, and then you add that to the people who are sort of coming out of the water closet as they like to say, the people who had shy bladder, is that not enough? And then maybe there's some other things you throw in there. Maybe handicapped as well. So maybe there are at least three categories of people who legitimately, for reasons that everybody would agree, maybe they nee

d a little extra privacy. So I don't think I would disagree with making it some kind of a requirement. I wouldn't make it a requirement but it would be nice to have a third option for a variety of people for a variety of reasons. No children. Yeah that's another good one. Because isn't it creepy when I belonged to a gym — which I don't now — but when I belonged to a gym and I would see fathers bri…
