    Stupidest take Ive seen in a long time. People apparently dont think for a second before upvoting.
    Forcing trans people to use restrooms they arent comfortable with is a problem but this is most definitely not a valid solution.

      Let’s be real, the bathroom itself by the problem. No one is uncomfortable with the physical facilities. So, forcing trans women to use a bathroom with people they aren’t comfortable sharing a bathroom with is bad but forcing cis women to share a bathroom with people they aren’t comfortable sharing a bathroom with is totally ok, right? If the single, ungendered bathroom isn’t the most equal solution then this whole issue isn’t about equality.

      EDIT: To be clear, before the extremists inevitably pile on, I am very much for equality and trans right and have been since before most of the current cabal of extremists were born. As a cis man I don’t care who I’m peeing next to but I can understande why a cis woman might have reservations about sharing a bathroom with someone who has as penis.

        So your solution to a problem affecting a small minority is to use huge amounts of tax money to extend the problem to everyone, fixing it for none?

          What precisely is your interpretation of Falkner’s assertion that trans people should lobby for a “third place”?

          Labeling me a troll will NOT silence me. If you’re not here to have a good faith discussion, leave.

          How does gender neutral washrooms not solve the problem?
