If you have a stomach ache you dont need to rush to the doctor and get prescriptions. Sometimes just a Ginger Ale will work. Its not medicinal but it for minor things its fine. The ones I usually hear about are probably best for mild symptom relief but not legitimate cures |

Seemingly per the place's policy, no, but the place is wrong for having that policy without notifying their customers that they have a section of their business in which one may encounter nudity of the opposite biological sex at any time. That is not something people will expect without warning, and that is not something people should be subjected to without warning. If people don't care, then they'll use the facility as normal. If people care, they won't use the facility.Not to worry though, according to CE it's both discriminatory and transphobic to suggest any of that because it distinctifies transwomen from women as a whole. |

MachineJaipur 06/28/21 4:58:47 PM #451 | gunplagirl posted... There's literally been attempts (some successful) that banned trans people from using the proper facilities. If your concern is people passing those laws, they were doing it already. Basically? Fuck off.So you'd like to give said people more easy ammo instead of exercising patience in an already easily avoidable situation? If it was merely their opinion on the line I can understand having a rather cavalier attitude towards them but if they've demonstrated an ability to change laws and/or impose new laws, is it really the best thing to give them more ammunition to use in court? |

MachineJaipur 06/28/21 4:44:59 PM #448 | shockthemonkey posted... Cant let those minorities get too uppity and start demanding equal treatment or even basic respect As I've said, I just feel this specific situation is one where being 'too uppity' as you call it will only ever backfire in your face, potentially to the point of setting trans rights back by it being made law that you have to use the area that corresponds to your genitals, instead of it merely being a choice as it is now. That's my primary concern. I even offered ways to address the situation in a more metered approach so the situation can eventually be handled but I guess that's just discrimination. You can 'be uppity' all you want just about anywhere else. Saying you should exercise caution in one situation isn't the same as saying you should exercise caution everywhere. |

Laying down what parameters would work and wouldnt work seemed like the fun part of a discussion like this - but it wont happen when youre needlessly stonewalling a conversation because you want respect of some sort The parameters I offered, as what I thought of as a temporary stop gap or middle ground, were labeled as discriminatory and transphobic. I don't think demanding the right to show penises to little girls is a paramater that ever works out well for anyone involved. And I don't really think I'm going to get respect out of this topic so I'm not really demanding respect here. I just think if you want to be taken seriously you should at least be respectful, which judging by some of the comments here isn't going to happen because nobody here seems to want to even earn any respect ever. Just demand it and if you they don't get 100% of your respect then you're a phobe. |

MachineJaipur 06/28/21 2:18:21 PM #385 | shockthemonkey posted... You keep putting the onus on oppressed people to cater to the feelings of the majority rather than accepting that the best way for everything to move forward is to accept trans women as women which includes allowing them into womens spaces.I just feel that if you want to be accepted into a society then you have to play by the majority rule until such a time the rules change. You can fight it where you can and should. You're continuously missing the part where someone expected only vulvas and were okay with that and consented to it. They did not knowingly consent to seeing penis, in their expectations. Which led to the transphobic ladies freakout. Which is why I said until society at large accepts that there may be penis in the ladies area, that this will be an issue. I can be okay all I want, it doesn't change the fact that society will balk at it and nefarious anti-trans forces will use situations like this as reasons and opportunities to restrict the rights of trans peoples. If you can't consider what your enemy will do with your actions then you'll be murdered in your sleep yesterday. shockthemonkey posted... Its explicitly clear that women belong in womens spaces. if youre looking for something to explicitly say that trans women also belong, youre separating trans women from the broad category of women. If you view trans women as women then you dont need an explicit warning that trans women are in womens spaces. Unfortunately we as a society are not at a point where we are widely ready to accept transwomen in women's spaces. If you want society to get to that point you'd do best to start with signs acknowledging the possibility, to put the idea in societies mind and then eventually get rid of the signs once it is widely accepted that it is a thing and will happen. If you don't want to do the hard work of integrating into the society you want to be a part of and just want to buck and rant and rave about how persecuted you are then don't be surprised when decades have past and society just views trans people as a nuisance instead of what they should be viewed as, as people |

I just don't see why it would bother someone, unless they don't recognize the validity of trans women It isn't even necessarily the fact that a woman has a penis that might bother them. It's just something that violates the societal expectation. It's different and strange to the uninitiated or uninformed. And people usually don't react the best to different and strange. Also, unfortunately not everybody recognizes the validity of transwomen and situations like this will only harm the chances of more people accepting their validity. |

MachineJaipur 06/28/21 1:54:19 PM #379 | shockthemonkey posted... If you dont want to see naked people then avoid areas where people are naked. By knowingly and consensually entering an area where women could be naked, you are consenting to possibly seeing womens genitalia. If a person wishes to avoid that possibility, they can avoid the area where other women may be nude. I dont understand why this is such a hard concept for some people to understand.Because the idea of a penis being a woman's genitals is, while not new in the grand scheme of history, new to the common societal expectation of boys have penis, girls have vaginas. That SHOULD change, but it will take time to do so. I can guarantee you that 99% of women who visit a spa never once have the thought of "I might see a woman's penis today" |

MachineJaipur 06/28/21 1:52:07 PM #378 | codey posted... You constantly bounce back and forth between "I support trans women and wish we were in a place where this wasn't an issue" and "What if they don't want to see a penis, huh!?"Because what I want in the world and what is reality are two different things. Until society changes and is ready to accept that penises are ok in, and maybe even expected, female areas then you have to consider the societal expectation of no penises in the female area, even if that may not be ideal or even right in the realm of trans considerations. Perhaps unfortunately, but most women aren't going to just flip a switch in their brain and go "I'm okay with seeing penis in a female-only area". Especially if they've ever been traumatized by a penis. As I said, unless it is made explicitly clear to expect to maybe see penis in an area where, in basically all of modern history, it had been no-penis the entire time before, then I'm going to err on the side of caution and say that the societal expectation takes precedence. |

MachineJaipur 06/28/21 1:21:07 PM #360 | MutantJohn posted... I think it's a little weird how much we've normalized the idea that a penis is threatening.What about a woman who had a negative experience with a penis and wants to use a spa without seeing a penis? Transwomen are women but we can't just discount the experiences and expectations of 99% of women, trans or not, who go into a female only area. If it was explicitly stated that transwomen, pre or post-op, are accepted at said spa and that both genitals were to be potentially expected to be on display in the female-only area then it'd be one thing. However if that isn't made explicitly clear then why should women be forced to see something in a situation they don't want to see? |

Separation is one party choosing to build their own future by doing for self. Choosing to separate seems like it'd have bad long term consequences. Could very easily turn "Us vs Them", even among the black communities. "Oh you're one of those who lives among the whites, you're inferior because you won't join our superior black cities" It sounds well-intentioned and probably could work on paper.

Were talking about integration and youve been saying that trans people are wrong when they fully integrate. If a black person was attacked for opening a business, who would you blame?I don't think trans people are wrong when they fully integrate. I'm saying society isn't ready for it and acknowledging that it'd be better for trans people to be aware of that fact is better than forcing this issue where they're easily demonized. Obviously whoever attacked them would be at fault. Just like this transphobic lady is at fault for flying off the handle and being a fuckwit. Merely acknowledging that the situation could've been avoided isn't transphobic, just as it wouldn't be racist to acknowledge a non-white man opening a shop in small town 1960s Alabama is a bad idea. |
