And I'm not even asking for toilets divided by sex. I don't give a toss if some woman wants to skip the queue and dash in the mens (have done it myself, many a time) or some TIF wants to rinse her piss-tube in there. If the men don't like TIFs or other women in their spaces, then that's their campaign to fight. I'm asking for women-only spaces. That's all.
Because I think some are missing it, what this person is saying is, "if you're going to insist on restrooms divided by sex instead of gender, this is the sort of thing you're going to have to contend with."
Well, no. The facts are:
Nobody has to pee through a piece of plastic, male or female, trans or not
Nobody has to pee through a piece of plastic in public
Nobody who pees through a piece of plastic in public has to wash it out in public or intimidate children with it.
It's as if they're saying that it is somehow inherent to the trans experience that one has to make a display of sexual paraphernalia, and that it's in everyone's best interest if they don't have to do it in the "wrong" restroom. But again, the vast majority of people of all kinds manage to pee without waving a dildo in anyone's face, no matter how inconvenienced they feel by the bathroom conditions or anything else.
What I think is interesting is the trans people and allies who are willing to normalize this. It's as if they're saying "Yeah trans people can't help but do truly disturbing things and that's cool let's give them the right space to do them."
That is a LOW freaking bar. Is that really what they're calling acceptance? What if that was our opinion of gay people or minorities: "They're gross, let 'em be." Where's the self-respect? Where's the call for basic human decency out of everyone, no matter what they might be going through?
