I thought we were talking about if it would be easier for a person allowed into the toilets legally being able to peep than someone not allowed into toilets. My only point was that it's easier to commit offences in toilets that you're legally allowed to go into. No I can't imagine many rapists bothering to dress up as women to rape.
Um, you're already "allowed" to go into toilets anyway, because the door isn't locked and no one guards them. It's as easy as that. The idea that making it okay for transgenders makes it "easier" for someone to do that kind of thing is patently ridiculous.
If a transgender lady still is not transitioned, to the point that she still looks entirely like a man, she's not going to feel comfortable going into a womens' room and standing out. She'll use the men's room until such time as she feels comfortable moving to a more appropriate location where she can fit in. And yet, we're discussing the comfort of the straight people, just in case they notice a person who doesn't quite fit in?
How can y'all not see that this is the same exact argument that was used against desegregation and gay rights? It's being used now against the BLM movement, with the "well what about white people's feelings!?!" counter.
When you are a majority looking to take away rights of a minority that is already telling you they are under constant (literal) assaut, either verbally or physically, or you try in any other way repress them, it is the highest degree of inanity to then claim it's YOUR discomfort and fear that should be taken into account.
FFS!
Which toilets aren't guarded? Or locked? Are you talking about me when you're saying I'm asking for my discomfort to be taken into account? I'm not making any claims about transgender people using restrooms. If I say it's easier to sexually assault someone inside a restroom when you're legally entitled to be in there and no one will be suspicious of you being in there I mean exactly those words.
I'm not siding with any agenda for or against transexuals. There are many toilets out there some in shops, train stations, libraries. Some are guarded, some are locked, many have toilet check sheets that show the patrol rate of how often the local security guards and cleaners have checked the toilets.
And there's so many idiotic things about the black lives matter movement that "What about the feelings of white people" is the least someone can say. What about the black lives taken by black people and the fact that the black murder rate is so much higher and why are most black lives matter protesters shouting in the faces of white middle class people instead of tackling black drug dealers, pimps and black musicians who glorify violence.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
