I've been denied service because I wasn't wearing a suit jacket and tie before. Or because I had a collarless shirt. I don't see how this would be different.
I should have the right to ask anyone to leave , let people smoke cigarettes or whatever .
Meh. Just make men and women wear burkhas and forget it.

Why would a business owner want to get involved in the politics of bathrooms? I think government mandates bathrooms for customers. I don't think if you are a business owner you can say no bathroom. If you cannot elect to not have a bathroom why should you be allowed to decide who uses that bathroom?
Absolutely - but the other thread asked the question which bathroom should they go in? Now, if they choose the women's room, there is a good chance the owner is going to kick them out of the place of business because they will cause a commotion in their store - however if they use the men's room there will be no commotion, the owner and nobody else will think anything of it. That is why the correct poll choice in the other thread was to suggest they use the men's restroom. The correct poll choice here is "Yes"
Most businesses would probably try and make the best choice for their business - they don't want to upset their customers by having a blanket ban on these people, but they also don't want to upset customers using the restroom and make them or their children feel uncomfortable. That is why it SHOULD be the business's decision how to handle it, because it allows them to make the decision that their customers will be happiest with and it is a complex issue - if they simply let their own personal opinions rule, or that of any government edicts, they may lose out on a significant customer base.

so what you're saying is its better to wear black when you trespass in your neighbors back yard at night?Absolutely - but the other thread asked the question which bathroom should they go in?

Huh? No, that is a ridiculous argument. That's the same as suggesting black people shouldn't visit ANY restaurants because some minority of restaurant owners wouldn't serve black people if they were allowed, so they should just assume that all restaurants don't want to serve black people and they should respect their property and not go to any restaurants, lest a restaurant owner serve somebody they don't want to.
So unless you have a sign up that says "No trans___ allowed" (which is illegal, but shouldn't be, but even if it was legal most stores would not have them) then why would anybody assume they don't want trans___ people in their stores? You are inviting people into your place of business. You aren't inviting people into your backyard at night.

Yes, obviously; a business owner should have the right to kick out anyone for any reason whatsoever.
On the face of it, no. A patron should not be asked to leave a business simply for cross dressing. There is a very obvious cross dresser in my part of town. I see him once in a while at stores and restaurants, and he is always dressed better than I am.
As long as a person conducts himself in a courteous and respectful way, and does not violate any other kind of standard (like a dress code), shopping or dining should move forward with no difference in service. Even with a dress code, if a man is dressing as a woman, then the dress code for a woman would apply.
I'm in the service industry, and it just does not pay to make a big deal about how people dress. So-called Libertarians should be more about being the best in their products and services and less about trying to control how other people act.
Disclaimer: I did not read the other thread. I saw the title at lunch and was not going to wreck a decent lunch on something like that.

I think the question prompting the poll here is that some women have "transitioned" and look like men, at least at first glance. I did not look at that thread before I responded to the poll.
I think we run into problems when we start making everything a private property right. Does property ownership make it okay to judge people on how they look? What if a property owner does not like how you look? What if that business serves a rare niche that you need? If I own a pharmacy, for example, would I have the right to deny service to you when your insurance requires they use only my pharmacy? Or if I owned the only grocery in town, should I be able to deny service to you, who might be there to buy some soup for a sick neighbor? You come into my establishment, behave respectfully, conduct your business, pay for the good or service, and then go on your way. My liberty has to honor your liberty. Liberty is nothing if we don't believe in liberty for all.

Do I need a permit for that?
When I need something from a rabbi I wear a little beanie hat on my head right?What if a property owner does not like how you look? What if that business serves a rare niche that you need?
YES. The whole notion of insurance and dedicated pharmacies I suspect would quickly collapse if uncle didn't regulate and license white powders distribution... but I suppose thats another issue for another thread.If I own a pharmacy, for example, would I have the right to deny service to you when your insurance requires they use only my pharmacy?
YES. Just because I want to sell things at some cost to my friends doesn't mean I want to sell them at all to you.Or if I owned the only grocery in town, should I be able to deny service to you, who might be there to buy some soup for a sick neighbor?
What if I personally consider cross dressing extremely disrespectful and a bane on my business?You come into my establishment, behave respectfully

I think we run into problems when we annihilate the right of property via taxation legislation theft or regulation.
"Okay" is not a legal term. There are plenty of things that are not "okay" that should not be illegal. Also, the right to determine that happens on your own property is not subject to "okayness." It is never "okay" to judge anyone for any reason, yet it is always correct to control who does and does not have access to your own property, even when such standards are not "okay" by you or me.Does property ownership make it okay to judge people on how they look?
It's HIS property, he can do what he wants.What if a property owner does not like how you look?
Sounds like a grand business opportunity.What if that business serves a rare niche that you need?
There is no such thing as prescriptions can only be filled at a specific pharmacy.If I own a pharmacy, for example, would I have the right to deny service to you when your insurance requires they use only my pharmacy?
Sounds like a grand business opportunity.Or if I owned the only grocery in town,
100% yes. It's your property, you should be free to do what you want, even if I think it's stupid.should I be able to deny service to you,
NO SOUP FOR YOU!who might be there to buy some soup for a sick neighbor?
Why would it matter if my intent was to buy soup for a sick neighbor or to buy cards for a poker game? If you can police good intents then you can police bad intents too. You just opened the door to federal regulations punishing you for bad intentions.
Good for you, it's your property, you can do what you want with it.You come into my establishment, behave respectfully, conduct your business, pay for the good or service, and then go on your way. My liberty has to honor your liberty.
....including shop owners.Liberty is nothing if we don't believe in liberty for all.
Exactly. And the rules should be the same whether you own a business or not. I hate the argument that your business is in the "public domain" therefore it can be regulated differently. The world is full of busybodies who want to tell business owners how to run their business, except when it's time to pay for expenses like payrolls. Then it's the business owner's full responsibility. Ha!
