    Assholes don’t care about bathrooms or they would simply make unisex ones with private stalls, open areas sinks, and complete view to the outside hallway. The safest and most reasonable option, but no here we are getting cops involved because people love being cruel.

      Bonus points if having a small sink in a stall. Makes the process more hygienic and is invaluable in certain situations (mess, periods etc.)

        Or at the very least a private room with all the amenities for the certain situations like you mentioned and families (diaper change, small children with parents, etc). Interestingly those are not uncommon.

      Course they do. But they’ve grown up with segregated bathrooms in most places so it’s very difficult for them to treat unisex ones as a real option.

      You’re treating people who disagree with you as if they only disagree about one thing.

        They do only disagree about one thing: they have been worked up into a fantasy world through fear. They are stupid enough to believe that there is a danger that doesn’t exist. Fear spread by the very people who are using their power to literally be a danger to kids.

        I have no compassion for idiots and fools.

          That doesn’t even parse. “Worked up into a fantasy world”?

          Whatever it’s supposed to mean, I’m pretty sure it’s not the only thing you and transphobes disagree on.

            Its like everything else: they didnt fear anything until they were told to. They believed disinformation and created a problem that didnt exist.
