A district judge in Wisconsin has sided with an 11-year-old trans girl over her use of the girls’ toilets and temporarily blocked school officials from preventing her access.

    Urgh, the notion that allowing trans people into the bathroom means sex crime is the original disingenuous point. That’s kind of what I was trying to show you. Besides, a transwoman in a woman’s bathroom isn’t using a urinal. A transman in a man’s bathroom isn’t using a urinal. There shouldn’t be a problem with that, and yet there are people just need to know the genitalia of everyone in the stalls. Like genitals need to policed instead of just abiding by a general social rule of public spaces regardless of sex and gender: don’t be sexual in public spaces. Indecency and shit are still very real things that don’t change with trans people existing and taking dumps, believe it or not. Now I don’t mean to upset you, so I am sorry if you are taken so aback at my fatigue of the “trans = perverts” perspective.

      No one is saying trans people = perverts. Well I’m sure some are saying that, but I’m not.

      What I’m saying is that by allowing anyone to enter female-only spaces you remove the safeguards that make them safe spaces sin the first place.

      Are the trans people there to assault women? No. Does it open the door to perverts that do want to assault women to just openly use female-only spaces? Yes. That’s the issue.

        It only opens the door for perverts if you are, in fact, saying trans people = perverts.

        After all you’re saying allowing a trans person to use their aligning bathroom is the same as allowing anyone to enter female-only spaces.

        (So you kinda are saying that. It does appear you might be one of those some.)

          Sigh. Read my last comment again and try again.

          Even if there wasn’t a single pervert who is trans, allowing anyone to enter female safe spaces allows non trans perverts unrestricted access to these places.

          Do you understand? To allow trans people in to the opposite sex safe spaces means allowing everyone to enter them.

            It really doesn’t. It only feels that way if you are incapable of differentiating between a sexual pervert and a trans person.

            Society can accommodate gender neutral bathrooms (meaning you don’t have this social construct of genital specific genital policed bathroom spaces) alongside gendered bathrooms where people presenting as either gender can go to the bathroom. Where there is no neutral option, the closer aligning gender specific bathroom is better than the genital specific bathroom.

            Or you can have it your way with bathrooms where people’s genital have to be declared, revealed, matched, or somehow verified to use them. That is the only way to achieve genital specific safe spaces that you’re craving. Otherwise our society can go about accepting that people presenting as a gender to use their preferred bathroom regardless of their genital status.

            So how do you want verify if someone is trans or not when they’re using the bathroom? Keep in mind you’ve already demonstrated that you’re incapable of differentiating between a sexual pervert and a trans person.

            The sky is the limit here:

            How do you want our society to verify genitalia before providing public bathroom access?

              So you can look at a person and tell if they are a sexual pervert? Holy cow, so the fbi know about your amazing talent? That’s a game changer.

              What you can pick is a biological male. Every time, without fail. No one needs to look at genitals.

              You keep purposely disingenuously saying rubbish like “you’re saying all trans people are perverts”. What I’m saying is that you can’t tell who is a pervert, but you know that if they’re a biological male who is a pervert that you just gave them free and unrestricted access to girls bathrooms by sallowing trans identified people into female space because there’s no way to verify “gender identity” so anyone can simply say they are a girl if they want to access female only spaces.

              This isn’t hard to understand, and your attempts to twist it only highlight how weak your argument is.

              Sex separated spaces exist for a reason. They existed long before the current “gender identity” thing began.

                  If its a transwoman you may not being able to identify the biological male part: that genitalia.

                  The entire person is the biological male part lol. It’s not just genitalia.

                  That’s the whole point of this issue with trans people using bathrooms: it’s their ability to pass as the gender that is on trial.

                  No, that literally has nothing to do with it. The issue with trans people using bathrooms is that they’re wanting to use bathrooms that were specifically made for them not to use. They’re not “gender identity” based bathrooms, they’re sex based since they have been around long before “gender identity” was a thing.

                  Trans people aren’t perverts who just one day decided to say they were a specific gender. But you keep bringing up that perspective as an equivalent.

                  I haven’t once said that, so you really need to stop telling lies and being disingenuous. You keep lying and saying that I’m saying trans = pervert when I have said no such thing.

                  You’re just creating this hypothetical biologically male sexual pervert out of thin air and linking that to a transperson using the bathroom. It’s dishonest because it’s incorrect. Refuting that isn’t disingenuous.

                  I’m not linking them to trans people at all. What I am doing is pointing out that the consequences of allowing biological males that identify as female into female only spaces is that any male can then use those female only spaces, making them no longer female only spaces.

                  You’ve done nothing but tell lies and make up imaginary quotes so you can dance around the fact that you have no actual rebuttal.

                    Sigh, you are saying those things. Repeatedly. Instead of acknowledging that I am pointing out that you are, in fact, making these claims, you saying I am being disingenuous and a liar. It’s a classic defense, for sure, to project as such.

                    Gender neutrality and the removal of gender and sex from bathrooms is not an inherent risk to anyone and does not subject them to aexual perverts. My evidence are things like the existence of gender neutral bathrooms not being sexual menaces upon people in public. This means that a step towards neutralizing either the gender, genital/sexing of bathrooms does not have an inherent co sequence of allowing perverts more access to bathrooms. It’s a false equivalence and an unreal consequence.

                    In fact, it’s closer to say the sexualized spaces of genital specific bathrooms is what actually puts those spaces at risk of perverts. Since you’re missing the point, the circular nature of this self fulfilling prophecy is what I was referencing previously.

                    You can scream and sling insults about what you thing I have been doing engaging you here. That’s what makes this a special place.
