    So, I have to ask a real question, and I want to take the trans issue off the table.

    Is there a reason why they would care if someone from the “wrong” gender used a bathroom? Like why are we clutching pearls here? Do they think that if someone goes in the wrong bathroom, they will peek or sexually assault someone? We already have laws around that.

    What’s next? People can only pee facing forward, but have to turn around and face backwards to poop? It’s dumb.

    Edit: I understand that this is just an escalation of BS politics. I am trying to understand the argument so that I can formulate a strong argument against it.

    transphobia has always been about misogyny and attacks on women’s bodily autonomy.

    If you boot the LGBT+ community out of the restrooms, we can always pee on your eggs when we need to go.

    the most stupid logical flaw about this (it has multiple) is that womens restrooms are stalls only, so there is no way ppl would even notice.

        Oh it’s not a matter of affordability.

        Our stalls have giant gaps specifically so people can see inside the stall. You might be doing drugs in there!

        yeah, but ppl are not supposed to peek and if they do, it’s their fault if they feel offended and i doubt they’ll alert anyone about anything that could also spotlight their indecent behaviour.
