Nope. I don’t buy that.
Well, I'm looking. And this is what I see: Statistics Show Exactly How Many Times Trans People Have Attacked You in Bathrooms
I’m aware. Some women aren’t comfortable sharing a restroom with a biological male. It is what it is.
Show me how. Please let me know how many trans people have attacked women and girls in public bathrooms. Give me evidence that this is an actual, legitimate threat and then maybe I can take the claim seriously.
It’s about respect for others and their own private spaces. Look up Lily (Nick) Tino. Too vile to post here, but that’s a wonderful example.
So we're back to prejudice because, as Bradskii demonstrated, there does not seem to be an actual threat.
It’s not prejudice. Just because some people believe it’s wrong or are uncomfortable with it doesn’t make it prejudice.
Unless you're trans. Then no respect for you!
A wonderful example of what, exactly? Of someone posting selfies without obtaining permission for people who are standing in the background? I'll grant you, it's dodgy legally, but I don't how the photo taker posed any threat to those other people in the background of her photo.
He didn’t get permission which is why people are suing. It’s just one example on top of my head.
That's the very definition of prejudice: an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
Only if you check their genitals. If a trans woman is dressing according to her gender, chances are you won't be able to tell the difference.
So? I don’t have to like it or think it’s a moral way to live. Their lifestyle, their choice. I can think they are harming themselves and have no right to force their agenda onto others.
I know. I acknowledged that. And then I noted how disallowing her from using the women's room wouldn't fix that particular problem.
So trans people need to understand and respect the prejudice of others, but those who are prejudging trans people don't need to respect or understand them? Wow, that's one sided.
Can't recall anyone saying you did.
But those who are prejudiced against trans people DO have the right to force their agenda onto trans people? That seem fair to you?
Well, since you're a mental health professional who has tons of clinical experience with this issue, I'll defer to your expertise.
Again. It’s about respecting other people’s boundaries. Their feelings or so called identity don’t trump the rights of others.
I never said I was a mental health professional, other than this issue is related to mental health.
And how would denying her the use of a women's room make her respect other people's boundaries, exactly? If she took a selfie on the street and didn't ask permission of anyone behind her, would you advocate for disallowing her access to any public areas?
Well, if you aren't a mental health professional, I'd suggest you ask actual mental health professionals about their views on the issue. The vast majority do not agree with your assessment, just so you know.
So no respect for the rights of trans women, then? What have they done to lose their inalienable rights, exactly?
They don't know. THAT is the point. The woman standing at the mirror doing her lipstick or chatting to her friends...it's a woman. Unless you want to do a genital check? Of course you don't. So you don't know either. And it's somewhat presumptuous of you to declare what women want, what they are comfortable with when there has been ZERO evidence that any problem exists whatsoever.
For a problem you seem to have difficulty showing exists. And if bars and restaurants and clubs are going to be asked to rip out their bathrooms and rebuild at quite an horrendous cost then they're going to know what the problem is. What would you have to show them?
