I've never understood why I should care where someone else goes to the bathroom anyways.

I wouldn't want my boy showing genitals to women on a bathroom. Viceversa too

What world do you live in that you see other people's genitals in the bathroom? I've never had this issue, none of my friends have, and I doubt you could provide any significant proof that is an issue. You just hate trans people. Say the quiet part out loud.

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wait, you mean you don't just drop trou the second you get into a public bathroom? That's crazy, my girlfriends and I are always asking strangers to look at our crotches before we pee.

Wait no, that's never happened once in my 39 years on earth. I'm really curious about what bathrooms republicans are in if loose genitalia is the constant threat they make it out to be.

I think the quiet part that needs to be a bit more out loud is that while all the fingers are pointed at trans people over creeping in the ladies' room, the resulting 'bathroom panic' gives cis men cover to go into the ladies' bathroom to police who's trans or not in there and it's totally not creeping when they do that, nosirreebob

The bigger issue is that it gives perverted and creepy men an open invitation to go in to womens bathrooms by simply saying they identify as a woman.

No men are going in to womens bathrooms to "police" them.

And trans girls/women aren’t just doing that either.

I have never heard a man say “oh darn! I can’t rape her, she made it to the safe zone of the women’s bathroom!”

Are you daft? You can’t be serious right? Creeps aren’t going to be deterred by a door. Trans people just want to use the bathroom and get out as quickly and quietly as possible.

🤦🏼‍♀️

[-] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t know what bathrooms you’ve been in, but nobody is showing anyone anything in the bathroom. In most cases people who are trans use stalls anyways.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Most is not all and source of that statistic?

[-] aspseka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

If you think about it... She wants to use the girl's toilets. I'd assume there'll only be stalls.

[-] BURN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I use most because I can’t definitively say all.

Logically Trans people are in situations where they are going to be in individual stalls.

Like I said, nobody is showing off their genitals in the bathroom. I regret to inform you that you’re doing something wrong if you’re walking into a bathroom with the purpose of exposing yourself to the occupants.

[-] Misconduct@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe teach your boy not to show their genitals to people in the bathroom because that's actually weird af? I swear the people against this are telling on themselves. You're a bunch of bathroom perverts and you think it's normal/everyone does it. Because I have never once in my whole life seen someone's genitals in a public bathroom. You looking for it or what?

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

That's exactly the point. The judge sided with the 11 year old girl so she wouldn't be forced to use the boys bathroom with your son.

This is some good Accidental Ally material.

[-] journeyman@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago

As a male, I've learned long ago when I step up to a stall next to another dude, I'm not supposed to look at their genitals. As it turns out, dudes don't like when other dudes look at their junk. As a result, I've never had another dude showing me their genitals in a men's room.

Come to think of it, if I had a choice, I'd probably rather a woman looked at my junk in the bathroom than a dude...

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah and that's the point, to keep it that way. No transsexuals indecently exposing themselves or perving on unconsenting kids or adults on bathrooms. Thanks for agreeing on that.

[-] Asifall@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

But if the same happens with men you’re cool with it?

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Same equipment and the possibility of accompany to your boi or girl gives you the extra coolness 😎
