As far as I know, no one solved rape before they let me start using bathrooms. I take the use of bathrooms for granted. Indeed there is no absolute solution to rape. But that's a rape problem not a Trans problem.

If I was going to criticize the aha for overreacting to something, in this one, it would be their overestimation of what otherwise genuine humanist issues genuinely matter to people we might call their natural constituency. There's a disadvantage, politically speaking, to the positive and earnest state of not giving a shit where people pee. It leaves the folks who do much more motivated and organized around that end. Those folks...have issues.

there is predatory opportunity in single sex bathrooms. No fundamental issue is addressed by continued division of bathrooms. In japan and Parts of Europe bathrooms are typically already unisex. if anything, having separate bathroom perpetuated the unhealthy perception that difference in gender not closely and directly associated with biology is nonetheless somehow right.

In any area of the world where there are parents and children bathrooms are already typically unisex.
I agree with you by the way, just couldn't help myself.

Does anybody remember a time when a marginalized group had to convince fearful bigots they should be allowed to do something? Because I'm hard-pressed to think of one.

Putting a positive spin on it, every time...kicking and screaming the whole way?

I always use the men's bathroom. On occasion, a guy will walk in, notice me, run out before turning around and coming back in.

Trans people arent real to begin with.
Homosexuals is real because humans exists. Roleplaying is only as real as what you think is real. It can also conclude to chaos in society, when you have established constructions that works for the favor of nazi science like eugenics and human experiments on humans.
But homosexuals is real because people exist, but to be trans you have to roleplay as something, thats inside your head and unreal. But by that logic, what would one say about transspecies? that too exists?

Norwegian people aren't real to begin with. They're just posers who couldn't cut it as Swedes.

Both Norway and Sweden is worse off than Denmark to begin with. Because Sociology is such a focus issue there that they neglect work market. Meaning suicide is higher there. Where as Denmark having focus on work market and work encouragement, and not trying to turn their country into a doctor state, has less suicide. So the real winner is Denmark. Thats called Social Democracy done right
