Anti Trans Bathroom Law Proganada is Kind Of Misandrist
February 16, 2018 at 4:09 am

Anti trans bathroom laws propaganda seems to have distinctly anti male bend . One common trend i see the tag "no men in womens bathrooms" Generally followed by a menacing picture of an unattractive man or sometimes it's selfie in a woman's bathroom (thus doing the very thing your objecting to). Or another common theme in said propaganda is something like"your daughter will be be seen by naked men etc . Another talking point used are feelings of discomfort at being naked in presence of a member of the opposite gender . Which leads me to the flowing thoughts .
1. The presence of men in woman bathroom seems offensive regardless of the reason for their presence or their intention there .
2. A daughter being exposed to male genitalia is somehow offensive or even nightmarish. But a son being exposed to such seems acceptable . Despite him being in no less risk of molestation then a young girl. (and no i'm not saying trans people molest children )
3. A woman discomfort is to be respected in regards to opposite gender . Does this mean people of the same gender should be allowed to demand similar laws against members of their own gender regardless of reason . Am i permitted to demand all the gay men in a bathroom must leave because it find their presence offensive and they might view me in a sexual manner . (and no this is not a position i hold )
Just some thoughts

I think it's all an instinctual fear of being cuckolded by another man's sperm.
None of these male republicans care about trans men being forced to use women's toilets / bathrooms. They would if trans men had sperm though.

Do men get naked when using the bathroom? Cause if so, that's just kind of weird.
Well the good news is women's bathrooms, which I'm guessing these people wouldn't know since they've never been in one, have these things called 'stalls'. They have a door on them and everything. I presumed, wrongly I guess, that men's bathrooms also had stalls. But apparently they use the urinals for that too? This is a silent problem that should be addressed immediately. PUT STALLS IN MEN'S BATHROOMS NOW!
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Dunno about other guys, but I strip down to nothing, dig my ice-pick into the stall door and hang upside down like a howler monkey when I do my business.
But to the OP, yeah, the opposition to letting people use whatever bathroom they want seems to revolve around the notion that men are just inherently dangerous, uncontrollable molestation machines that are currently only held in check by the sacred blue or brown placards with the stick-figure-with-a-dress symbol on it.

We get naked in locker rooms. Some showers are just a big open area with a bunch of showerheads on the walls, so it's unavoidable if you want to clean yourself. If a guy got naked in a bathroom, I think they'd probably get their ass kicked.

Urinals tend not to be separated by partitions in the way stalls are. Which, in and of itself, can be a strange thing.

You don't have to. Just go in The stall, pull out your junk and put it through The hole in The wall.
I'm not going to judge anyone for getting naked, but as The other guy can't see you anyways, it seems a bit excessive to me.

I have yet to see an American "bathroom" which contained a bath!
