    Yep keep trans people out of bathrooms just like originally public bathrooms were only for men in order to keep women from going out very far from home.

      They specifically care about trans women. For some reason they don’t seem to care that there are trans men in the guys bathroom. Regardless, it’d be nice if taking a shit wasn’t seen as an act of sedition.

        Yeah, definitely less common because “manly men” can’t pretend they might get sexually assaulted by trans men like they pretend that trans women are there for. It’s just that their excuses for disallowing trans people clash with their patriarchal toxic masculinity when it comes to trans men. That past excuse was usually, “they’re just women dressing up trying to take jobs only men with no emotional instability should do like CEOs or government representatives.” But that excuse has started to lose it’s appeal to the masses, though I still hear it occasionally with things like women trying to become president in the US.

        Changing your gender to the real one takes many years of lots of pain and effort. No one would do it just to see women in the restroom. And if the stalls didn’t have big gaps and locked that would be easily solved and not require separate bathrooms at all.
