I’m fine with this. I’m not fine with just any man in the ladies room. But a poor person struggling with gender dysphoria, who has been told that maybe trying to live as a woman would help, should use the restroom where they feel the most comfortable.
We need to understand that it isn’t fun to feel you are one gender when you are the other. Nor is it their fault. The transitioning — acting like the other gender -— is the ONLY thing the medical community is offering. It only helps 50% of the time OR LESS but some think that is enough reason to give it a try. Most people blindly do whatever a doctor says. Please forgive these terribly ill people for trying what some idiot doctor says.
The truly affected will not use the restroom to rape and assault. There are so few of them that your chance of peeing alongside someone with different parts is minuscule.
What we need to fight is the “anything goes” laws where full on men can use ladies’ rooms. That is far worse and affects every woman from the helpless four year olds to the helpless 90 year olds. We need to protect our sisters, daughters, and grandmothers.
Gender dysphoria is literally a figment of the imagination, ‘struggling’ or otherwise.
Worrying about whether it’s ‘fun’ or not is the flimsiest of pretexts for standing society on its head. It is not our responsibility to worry about who the ‘truly affected’ are or their percentages in the general population or in any particular restroom.
Restrooms correspond to people’s anatomy, not the other way round. ‘We just need to pee’ is their juvenile protest. Fine. They can use the correct facility and they and their misguided sympathizers can pipe down.
its the non transgender element we need to fear..
I can imagine fully grown male perverts walking into the girls room and molesting and raping young girls or women.....
and that will happen....its just a matter of time...
I sympathize with those struggling with gender dysphoria, but I am far from fine with this.
"Rights" are supposedly inalienable - they cannot be squelched for any individual at the whimsy of others. In this instance, the "right" being promoted can only be realized by squelching the right to privacy of those not suffering from the psychological malady. For a transgender to have the right to use their preferred restroom, non-transgenders must surrender their right to privacy.
The right to privacy, admittedly, is not a constitutional right, but is the penumbral emanation that supposedly justifies killing unborn babies on demand. Therefore, any squelching of this penumbral "right" is adamantly unconstitutional, according to the dictates of the left.
And it is equally wrong according to well-reasoned logic, IMO.
Please note - I do not mean to imply a lack of reasoning on your part. Only that I disagree, under the above logic (as well as other discourses I could present).
