If there are stalls with doors in the bathroom, then mind your own damn business if someone is in there. If there aren't, then it's an issue with the facility that should be fixed so anyone using them has privacy. Why are Republicans so concerned about what people do on the toilet or in the bedroom?

"Women may get attacked by trans people" says the party who by far has the larger list of offenders. Clean your own house.

You know what, aren't American stalls notorious for giant gaps in them? Maybe if they fixed that and had better stalls things like this may smooth over better. Unless that stereotype of American bathrooms is outdated or not actually the norm

It varies, sometimes you find places that are designed better than others. I can only assume the two reasons are cost (less material) and easier to mass clean. Not designed for the users.

Anyone being abused in any way in a bathroom by anyone is a crime and should be reported and prosecuted. What you'll find is not what Republicans are trying to sell to get votes. It even falls under the projection label, so the ones calling for action should probably be watched closer for their own actions towards other people.

Yes they are and I hate it.

Worse, my high school had no doors on the bathroom stalls at all (at least in the boys' room). I'm guessing it was some sort of "we don't want to catch you masturbating" sort of thing but I would almost always just hold any shitting I had to do in unless I was in drama class because the auditorium had bathrooms with doors.

Once again, every accusation is a confession.

The never ending tradition of conservatives always looking for someone to hate.

Just unisex the thing. They get a lesson in tolerance and everyone gets equal treatment.

Until we figure out humanoid robots all people are biological and trans women are women, so....

[–] doomcanoe 17 points 1 day ago

I say we push them harder, hard enough that they mandate single person unisex bathrooms, with the fancy auto room washing function they have in Japan. Then I can finally crap in peace.

ever notice trans men don't have this problem?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 day ago (3 children)

We absolutely do, even if you don’t hear about it as often.

I like showing people who claim women don't want to change in locker rooms with trans women because it makes them so uncomfortable and that locker rooms should only be for "real" women photos of the most manly-looking, muscle-bound AFAB men I can find and ask them to tell me if they think women would be comfortable changing in front of those men.

I have yet to get a yes.

The answer to "where do they expect trans people to go" is "nowhere. Hide or die."

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for opening up

Of course, Men are expected to deal with their own issues so being this fragile isn't going to be plastered all over the media.

I will continue to ask these morons if they’ve ever heard of homosexuality. There have been people attracted to other people they see in the bathroom since people started peeing together. Gender does not define sexuality, and neither gender nor sexuality define pedophilia.

[–] MrScottyTay 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To them homosexuality is a disease too. This one is just easier for them to justify at the moment. Once this battle is won they'll absolutely move onto non hetero sexualities.

[–] Klear 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The only reason trans rights are a big topic now is because they started losing the war against homosexuality and so they found themselves an easier target instead.
