Apple is an American company. They therefore opine on American legal matters. You don't see companies like Gazprom (Russia) getting involved with legal disputes in the US, so why should Apple get involved with the legal system there?

Neuroscientist girlfriend tried explaining this gender dysphoria nonsense. No. Just no. I'm right, you're wrong. End of story. Just deal with it. Your body is a prison? Life is hell? Deal with it. Why would anyone living in a pluralistic republic expect to have their inalienable and inherent rights protected?
Research showing the existence of a transgender brain, swath of psychology studies, the complexity of in utero development. Just stop it. I don't want to hear it. Just deal with it. And update the MacPro.

Does your 8 year old daughter piss at a urinal? And what kind of public restroom do you go to where the toilets don't have walls between them?
Alright.
What if this female born transgender man walked into a woman's room? Which bathroom should he use?
Well, if women really can't deal with the sight of a man in a restroom without "staring at or having to deal with some guys penis", then that might be an issue. However, it's easily fixed - there are plenty of designs of urinals where the man's bits are shielded from stares. I run a lot and at UK races, you'll often see men's urinals out in the open and no-one seems to be particularly bothered. Often in crowded situations women will use the stalls in the mens' bathroom without anything more than the occasional comment.
To be as polite as possible, that is the most ignorant comment I have read thus far.
I wish a transgender would complain that they want to use a Mac Pro 2017 model but Apple is standing in the way from making one.
Has nothing to do with black or Irish. Please educate yourself on the matter.
Ha! So "God in his infinite wisdom" makes mistakes every so often and "give some people the wrong body". If that is the case, his wisdom wouldn't be all infinite, would it?
Ah, a liberal's paradox at its finest.
Next thing you know, black people will want a seat at the front of the bus and to share the same drinking fountain as white people. I mean, where will it end!?
/s
I'm sorry. I just don't understand why people insist on hating and forcing it to win. It's impossible to fight people like that.
Just hold it in until you are home!
Seriously, why is this even a big deal?
Go wherever, do your business and leave.
The world needs to work on tolerance.
We are only here for a short while.

To say "white people are privileged" is plain racist to begin with. White privilege is to say anybody who is not of color is racist. Its reverse racism. If you accuse somebody of something because of their color of skin without any evidence that's called racism.
If you're sick of reading it, why didn't you scroll past the story? Instead, you not only read it you made a comment.
I have a feeling that anyone who doesn't share your beliefs is "deviant" which is a tough starting point. Some people are born in a body that has the wrong gender and if you had a bit of empathy and imagination you would realize how difficult that makes life if you thought about it for five minutes.
Trans people are not perverts looking for a way into the bathroom of the opposite sex. They dress as the gender they prefer and most reasonable people would be more disturbed by a trans person dressed as the opposite sex using the bathroom that corresponds to their birth gender than the other way around. In other words, for intelligent fully grown mature adults this isn't an issue. However, it sounds like you've got some maturing to do.
Trump made a calculated move. He revoked the order to please some of the evangelists that support him in the hope that the Supreme Court will put this issue to bed and it will be forgotten. We'll see.
All people should be treated with respect, except women who don't want men in the bathroom with them? Right
Fathers who don't want men in the bathrooms with their daughters should have no say in the matter as well, right?
Same neanderthal responses from uninformed and biased folks.
People worried about transgenders when they have a President who thinks nothing of grabbing a woman, any woman by the *****.
For the religious zealots, you all lost any moral high ground you falsely claim when you supported a misogynist, cheating, lying, privileged, racist for President. Jesus would be tempted to bitch slap the lot of you for failing to be good stewards or the earth and failing to address social injustice.

And I feel it's very ignorant to think white people aren't privileged, but okay.
Facts don't care about your feelings.
White people dont have really have rights anymore. Anything we say is scrutinized more and is racist/hatred if you don't agree with what the media is shoving down everyone's throats.
They aren't, but it's very good when you need to blame someone or something.
Yeah. Which is why I think we should just all convert to sharia law and get it over with.
Only islamophobes would be against that.
