I hope he can find another job. I can kinda see where he was coming from with that law. Sure, chances are, 99.99999999% of the time, a trans person going into a bathroom won't end up in spying, stalking, rape, assault, etc., but you have to look at it from the perspective of actual males and females that identify as whatever they were born as. As a male, I'm not sure I'd like it if a biological woman came into the same bathroom as me. And I know females probably feel the same way about biological males coming into their restroom. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that if I was a female. Trans people are a very, very, VERY small part of the population so why inconvenience the overwhelmingly majority of the population that identify as their birth sex over a much smaller group?

It sounds like you don't actually know anything about trans people.

You're saying you would be uncomfortable if these people were in the mens room?

I'd take a bet and say you've been in a bathroom with a trans person once and didn't realize it.

I wish we dould get the media on the message that bigotry is not politics.

So transphobia should be codified into law? You even said it yourself that the fear is largely irrational. So why give into irrationality by making it the law?

Your 99.999999999% is actually 100%, statistically, so far I'm pretty sure.

 

[Red Arremer]

What about it? Shocked to see a different opinion in this echo chamber?

So the law has to accommodate that you feel comfortable now? What about the comfort of the trans people? This guy would have to use the women's bathroom. You think naturally born women would be comfortable with having him use the women's bathroom?

Also, why would having a trans person use a restroom be inconveniencing you? Do you think they're gonna ask you for help or something?

Trans people wanting to be able to use the restroom without fear of being attacked and then moving on to actually important things doesn't inconvenience anyone.

 

[Zaventem]

Lol at that dem response.

A man speaking for me about how "uncomfortable" I supposedly feel about transgender people coming into public restrooms with me? How cute.

You've shared a bathroom with plenty of trans people through out your life and probably never knew it.

I'd rather share a bathroom with someone who identifies as male and looks and dresses like a male.

Forcing someone who looks and dresses like Caitlin Jenner into the men's bathroom is far more disruptive of my normal bathroom experience.

 

[Couleurs]

As a male, I'm not sure I'd like it if a biological woman came into the same bathroom as me.

If you are looking at, talking to, or even acknowledging the existence of anyone else in the men's room then you are breaking the most sacred code there is. I don't care who uses the men's room as long as they can abide by those simple rules.

No. Calling this place an echo chamber is awfully edgy. Quite the zinger.

Way to just ignore the counter points brought up to you though

Yeah, folks need to learn how to ignore burner accounts

That ether near the end was just vicious. Oof.

I'm not gonna join the death wishes. Instead, I shall opt for "May he discover his inner woman."

Spoiler

"and live in a country shaped by him and his friends for the rest of his hopefully long life". I'm cruel like that. Death is instantaneous. Why let him off quickly and easily?

Given the fact he ignored the counterpoints just to make another shitpost driveby, probably for the best.

I suppose we should write a law that limits how much tap water per day a house can use for drinking because some one somewhere might overdose on water. You know, since you're talking about something that, in your own words, has a 0.000000001% of happening.

 

[ebev91]

I'm not going to go through every single one of them. It proves my echo chamber point. God forbid someone has have a different opinion on here. I just believe that the rights of many are more important than the rights of the few.

And you know what? This issue is one of the very few issues that I actually side with conservatives on. That, immigration, and gun rights. I didn't have a candidate for me in the election so I didn't vote.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

that's a great thread title change

They fight with all their might to keep peoples rights back. They have no idea they are on the wrong side of history. Even with set backs like Trump, the change is happening. I hope the same thing happens to him and all his puppets.

This freeloader should work HARDER. He's just sitting around expecting HANDOUTS.

So you're complaining about the majority piling on you for stating your minority opinion that the minorities' rights don't matter if it inconveniences the majority..

Your made-up statistic is wrong. It's 100%. People using the bathroom of their gender identity is status quo, and has been for decades. It's actually law in over 200 cities, covering over half the US population. North Carolina is an exception, not the norm.

Would women be more comfortable with this guy:

in the ladies' room? Unfortunately that's the law in NC. And seemingly what you would prefer.

 

[Red Arremer]

"The rights of the many"? It's your RIGHT to not be uncomfortable now?
Well I guess we should also make it law that people have to shower once a day now because I'm not comfortable around smelly people.

 

[ebev91]

you're a bigot buddy

Typical response you'd expect. Let me guess, you probably think I'm homophobic, racist, sexist, a nazi, islamaphobic?

 

[Darryl M R]

Bigots trolling. Oh well.

Get boned dude. I hope he has to go on welfare.

 

[ebev91]

Why not just create more family restrooms where anybody can enter? I think that would be a better solution.

no but you are transphobic and a bigot. but lets not let facts get in the way of your little pity party.

You seem to be bastardizing the concept of "lives of the many vs lives of the few". A trans person going to the bathroom does not infringe on your rights whatsoever.

And I know females probably feel the same way about biological males coming into their restroom. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that if I was a female

Good to know. And how would you feel if you were a trans female?

 

[Steejee]

So he's saying he doesn't like the free market at work?

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

I just believe that the rights of many are more important than the rights of the few.

I'm sorry, you're going to have to run this through with me because it sounds ridiculous.

In this particular scenario, the rights of a transgender individual to use a bathroom corresponding with the gender they identify plays second fiddle to the majority's right to...what, not be embarrassed? The right not to have your kid be sexually assaulted by a predator in drag, this latter point of which being a made-up right-wing talking point with absolutely no case or actual statistic to back up?

 

[VistraNorrez]

By protecting the rights of the minority, you protect everyone's rights. This does not work in the opposite direction.

Even from a selfish perspective in makes sense to protect minority rights. Sooner or later you may find yourself in the minority. You protect those rights now and there will be nothing to worry about later.
