    Just put enough stalls there aswell as urinals and make it gender neutral. Most men don’t care about women in their bathrooms anyway. It’s - as demonstrated by this article - women that care. Wether it be gender neutral bathrooms or trans athletes it’s almost exclusively biological women that are the only ones with something to lose.

    Where I go swimming there’s almost always female staff doing cleaning in the men’s locker and shower rooms and nobody gives a damn. Good luck putting a male cleaner in the female shower space though.

        “Uh…”

        When anyone is the victim of physical violence 95 times out of 100 the perpetrator is male and the vast majority of victims are also male. This is not a competition nor the point of what I said.

                And that is false how? What do trans people have to lose here?

                I’m not talking about a physical threat. If a trans woman joins a women’s athletic competition the biological women are the ones who lose. With gender neutral bathrooms again it’s biological women that are on the losing side. Trans people have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I as a guy have zero issue with a woman showing up in the men’s bathroom. She can even hold my dick while I piss if she likes. It’s biological women that throw all equality and inclusion out the window the first moment a woman with a deep voice and a cock shows up in the shower room.

                And again; I’m all for gender neutrality. It doesn’t affect me one bit so I don’t care.

                    The same that cis women do.

                    That’s a cop-out answer. In order to lose something you need to have it in the first place. Trans people don’t have it in the first place. Currently trans people are not free to choose which bathroom to use. I’m suggesting we make all bathrooms gender neutral so what do trans people have to lose here? Nothing. They gain the access to use the same bathrooms as everyone else.

                    I’m not “pivoting” to sports either. I mention sports in my very first message. There’s a ton of examples of trans women dominating in women’s series on sports. That’s just a biologial fact that’s well established which I’m not even going to debate. There are men’s and women’s series for a reason and the occasional exception isn’t changing that.

                    I’m not “concerned” about women. You just keep putting words into my mouth and then arguing against the strawman you put up. If we as a society think that trans people are the gender they say they are then biological men and women just have to deal with it. I’m not arguing for that to be a reason for why not to do it. I state that I’m for gender neutrality in my very first message aswell.

                    I strongly disagree with the accusement that what I’m saying has anything to do with hate. That’s just another false and unfair assesment on your part.

              He’s just doing the ol’ mental gymnastics.
