Texans Protest Against Transphobic "Bathroom Bills"

Post Reply New Topic

It can't just be limited to transsexuals. When you think of transsexual maybe you're thinking of Caitlyn Jenner. But a transexual/gender-fluid person can't always be that easily defined. Gender is a spectrum now so everyone must be included. Everyone. No more gender segregation of any kind anywhere under any circumstances. That's the battle that's been won.

Are the rights of Trans individuals to be ignored?

How can you tell who a trans woman is? And why are you limiting to just trans women?
What about:
Agender
Androgynous
Bigender
Cisgender.
Gender Fluid
Gender Nonconforming
Gender Questioning
Gender Variant
Genderqueer
Intersex
Neither
Neutrois
Non-binary
Other
Pangender
Transgender
Transgender Female
Transgender Male
Transsexual Person
Two-Spirit

Which of these genders on the short list get included and which don't without it being discriminatory?

Why are you limiting it to just Trans individuals?

Of course there's no reason why any of them should be discriminated against.

No one's rights should be violated.

So absolutely anyone should be able to use any restroom, dressing room area, locker room, bathhouse, spa whatever. See I'm not protesting, I'm just clarifying what this really means and includes. Just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Actually Ezra raises a valid point. I think this is going to be a legal nightmare
But part of the problem is while Ezra can recognise the multitude of categories - the average "joe bloe" or "Jane bloe" just sees an ambiguous individual

I certainly don't think you make a male to female transgender use male bathrooms or be incarcerated in male prisons

Prisons must be gender desegregated as well. There's too many types of genders and gender variants for there to be strictly male or female anything.

ummm no I don't think young females would be incarcerated with hardened male criminals.

And just what is wrong with a person of ambiguous gender using the bathroom of their choice? Who does it harm to let people choose which bathroom they use? I mean, if I'm in a public restroom and someone comes in who looks ambiguous, it doesn't hurt or threaten me in any way. I wouldn't be afraid. I would just do what I came there to do, wash my hands and mind my own business as I always do. There is no reason to restrict restroom usage to people based on how they look--whatever your junk is or isn't, everybody occasionally has to take a pee and has a right to do so in whatever facility they feel comfortable in. Trying to regulate restroom usage by gender is ridiculous and only ignorant dinosaurs afraid of anything they don't understand (which is most things) try to do it. People trying to argue that public restrooms are suddenly going to be full of sex offenders because we're not properly regulating who uses which gendered room are scared of boogeymen and shadows, not real life. There's no horde of transgender sexual predators just waiting to get into the ladies room, and the idea is absurd and completely unfounded (as well as transphobic.)

There's to be no such thing as just male and female any longer. It's all or nothing.

I don't know of a man, because the men's room is out of order, or because of a line and he really has to go, who hasn't used the lady's room. Recently when my wife was in the lady's room, a little girl's father had come in because the daughter had needed assistance. In such a case with even straight cis-men, there's no harm and no foul.

If that transwomen were actually transgendered, meaning had a female psyche in a male body, then she likely would be no threat to little girls or other women...at least no more so than a biological, female gendered female is. However there are some people who identify as transgendered who are not really. I've mentioned this in a previous post; there's a particular male individual who identified as female and had made some Youtube videos, and it was revealed that he was actually a registered sex offender who had violently raped via sodomy a little boy. There are female sex offenders but they are an exceedingly small minority. They typically consist of women who are not pedophiles, but enablers, who's goal is to please a male companion, or women who commit statutory rape with their teenaged student or children's teenaged friends. Violent, penetrative rape or sexual assault for sexual purposes is exceedingly rare for females to commit. So being this man was born in a male body, and did something which is essentially the complete anti-thesis of femininity, I do not believe that man has a female psyche. Perhaps he would no longer be a threat if he were given sex "reassignment" surgery, but the psychological aspects of rapists run deep, and the underlying pathology can't be removed by superficial means entirely.

Obviously not all transwomen are actually rapists but I wanted to illustrate that not all people who claim to be transgendered are. It's very possible that this man posed as being a transwomen in hopes that it would make it easier for him to get closer to young children.

Also consider that the design of many restrooms is such that women are very vulnerable to attacks in them. This is likely one reason that some women tend to go to the restroom in pairs. At my university, the restrooms had to be entered through two doors, with a small room between the restroom and the hallway. I suppose the reason for this was privacy and to limit odors but it also effectively made the restrooms sound proof. To compound this, many of the restrooms did not have windows, and were narrow such that if someone entered, it would be difficult for those already inside to get by.

If women did not have to worry about being sexually assaulted by men then this restroom thing would be a non-issue. The controversy centers around people who were born male trying to access female restrooms and locker rooms, rather than people who were born female trying to access male restrooms and locker rooms for a reason. No one is worried about someone who was born female, and who claims to be male, sexually assaulting a man in the mensroom.

Exactly no more gender segregation of any kind. If some bearded homeless ex-convict wants to use either restroom in the children's section of the library that's his right. No argument from me. And I believe that has to be extended to anything else that's segregated as male or female in order for it to be consistent and fair.

I never said common sense couldn't be exercised.
