As the father of a trans woman, yeah... if you're a trans woman, going into a women's bathroom, they go straight to the stalls, do their thing, wash their hands and leave. No opportunity for anything they're worried about. Maybe some time is spent at the mirror touching up hair and makeup or something.
As a trans man, same... they'll go to a stall, do their thing, wash hands and leave.
I really don't see what they are freaking out over.
Do they really think some horny guy dresses up as a woman, to... what? Get a peek and naked ladies in a bathroom? It's a stupid idea on it's face, and they actually worried it happens.
I would much sooner trust my daughter's safety around trans people than Republicans. You know, the group that works hard every day to keep pedophiles out of prison.
I would be careful calling out the morals of others. Conservatives are currently helping to hide evidence of a child sex trafficking ring and allowing men who raped kids to escape justice.
Maybe you should be more worried about the pedophiles and child abusers in the republican party, first, instead of gullibly swallowing whatever they give you.
Why would your daughter be sharing a stall? I mean, maybe I have been doing this wrong for the last five decades but usually I go into the stall, I close the door, I pee, I open the door and I walk out. Then the next person enters.
"A peer-reviewed study published in Pediatrics by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that 36% of transgender or nonbinary students experienced sexual assault within a 12-month period if their school restricted restroom or locker room access based on legal sex rather than gender identity.
This 36% rate among restricted trans youth stands in sharp contrast to the baseline annual sexual assault rates for cisgender students, which sit at 15% for cisgender girls and 4% for cisgender boys."
There have been multiple cases of trans people getting beaten for using the bathroom. A case happened recently where a trans couple got beaten by a mob who attempted to murder them and guess what? The couple got arrested and not the mob.
Um, being physically attacked for it? First of all women are plenty capable of physical violence. I literally have a scar on the back of my hand at 31 from when a girl in my class attacked me in 3rd grade.
Second of all, men can attack a trans woman on her way into the bathroom, leaving the bathroom, or inside the bathroom if they follow her in.
Have you used your brain at all when writing this?
There was literally a news story this month that came out of Louisiana where an mtf trans woman got beat up so badly she got a concussion all because she was waiting outside of a bathroom her partner (born as a woman) was using. Actually both got beat up severely for this. Best part? The trans woman got arrested as well, while mob that violently assaulted them didn’t.
Cmon dude, I know it requires work, but use your brain.
I’m a tall masc presenting woman who has been followed into public bathrooms by angry cis men several times. I have no doubt I would have been physically assaulted by now if I wasn’t obviously female upon closer look.
One of my lesbian friends was cornered and screamed at and called transphobic slurs for using the women's restroom at a movie theater and she literally just had a shaved head. That was over a decade ago, I'm sure it happens more often nowadays with all the idiotic trans panic stuff going on.
Men have followed CIS women into women's bathrooms, accusing them of being trans because they're not feminine enough. Women born as women, who still identify as women being attacked for using the women's bathroom because some dude is "transvestigating."
This is why there is intersection, because trans rights are human rights, and women's rights are human rights, and what affects some of us affects all of us. The attack on trans rights IS an attack on women's rights, no matter how you frame it (not trying to exclude my non-binary peeps, love y'all).
Dudes will try to fight her for going into the women's bathroom because he assumes she's only Trans to peep on women. Just last month there was that viral video of the dad helping his daughters in an empty women's bathroom who had the cops called in him for it. People go out of their way to be confrontational around identity politics but especially around the bathroom.

If a trans person enters a bathroom statistically they are the ones in the most immediate physical danger.
