Topic	Kentucky Bill Would Let Students Sue Over Transgender people in Restrooms
OpenlyGator 12/13/19 9:02:55 AM #31:	Pus_N_Pecans posted... I'm just gonna go ahead and ask you how many cis guys do you know who go around in their men's clothes preying on women in restrooms whilst pretending to be trans women? Because that's the scenario you're describing No. The scenario I described is the one I have heard concerned women explain to me for why they were not okay with sharing a public ladies room with trans women. And some of these women were vocally pro-trans on almost every other political issue...except those locker rooms and restrooms. I don't personally give a shit either way; the debate is a nonissue for me. As a guy I've had to share the mens restroom with trans men before, some of which were noticeably trans. It was unusual, but I didn't care. And non of them ever made it a problem either. We were there to take a piss and get out. Hell I've had trans women walk into the mens restroom. Again, wasn't an issue for me. I've seen it hundreds of times as a gay man. However, there's a surprising amount of cisgender women who don't feel as comfortable sharing "female-only" spaces with trans women. Maybe you're the kind of person they would never admit that around. But they had no problem saying it where I and my social circle could overhear. Some of these women have responded to the issue with their own local political groups declaring that trans women should not be allowed in "female-only" spaces. I'm just saying the resistance to trans women using the ladies restroom and female locker areas has a lot more components to it than just "those evil cliche cis male politicians dishing out oppression again." I'm afraid there's a lot of cis women who are adamantly against letting trans women into "female-only" areas and they certainly due their part backing those politicians. And if you think they're all on the political right, you need to catch up more than you realize... --- The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice. http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/28/IdSqD.png <cite>OpenlyGator posted [p:931524868] in Kentucky B...
