How about we have ungendered washrooms and everyone uses the same one?
I suppose it'll require some modification of the current toilets. And they aren't few(toilets, I mean). Overall, the "problem" is hugely exaggerated. A toilet is a toilet.
Can anyone cite a single instance of it being problematic when a trans woman used the women's toilet or a trans man used the men's? Has this ever actually caused trouble? Because it seems the UK Government is bending over backwards to appease bigots over entirely imaginary, and probably not even genuine, fears.
And can these politicians not see how it will be problematic for very feminine trans women to be using men's toilets and very masculine trans men to be using the women's? Will anyone feel more comfortable that way?
Why would it require modifications to toilets? Except for pissoirs toilets are not gendered. And IMHO, pissoirs should be vanished anyway, they're disgusting. But technically, all genders can use any restroom (I haven't seen any pissoir-only restroom yet).
As a man I don't give a shit who is peeing beside me but I understand that women do. A single bathroom with lots of floor to celling stalls with no huge American puritanical anti-privacy gaps and a separate area out of view for urinals would solve the problem. Sit down, stand up, whatever floats your boat. Keep your genitals out of view, wash your hands, and the problem is solved.
A little bit of investment to make society more humane. Seems worth it.
I’ve often wondered this very thing. Minus Urinals (which, do we really need them?), a toilet is pretty standard, they’re all in individual closets with doors, and no one is swinging their tits or cock around outside the stall…
That said I’m not sure what they’re thinking here anyway… they want a biological male, but post-op trans woman on HRT hanging out in the men’s room. How’s that gonna work out any different than just having ungendered rooms in the first place? What is even the goal besides “shaming” the trans person? How does that help ANYONE? They’re not going to stop being trans because of it. And who is going to check or care?
As a dude in a bathroom stall, I don’t care who’s shitting next to me as long as the door is closed and they clean up after themselves.
I'm all for, but to be honest they'll look for another way to harass the scapegoat. Or they find a new scapegoat, which would be great for transpeople but doesn't really change much in the bigger picture.
It’s already going this way in the UK, it’s actually part of what the government’s proposed as a solution. If you go to a building built within the last 10 years they mostly just have unisex cubicles.
I would pay money to see the reaction of these people watching a trans man like Buck Angel entering a women's Restroom.
oh damn is he sexy or what :O
Always a matter of taste, but IMHO yes
But more importantly, he looks like the manliest man who ever maned by every manetric these bigots use.
Biology does not support this viewpoint. We should stop calling it "biological sex" and just call it bigotry.
May be an ignorant question but How does biology Not Support This viewpoint?
Sex is not binary. There are at least 30 genetic combinations of genes responsible for primary sex organs naturally occurring in human biology, and the presentation of secondary sexual characteristics runs a full spectrum of different phenotypes.
Further, the neurological and social processes of transgender identification are biological processes.
Gender is a social construct that describes the majority phenotypes, but there are far more outliers than the bigots would have you believe, and the science backs that up at every level.
"Biological sex" is LGBTQA++plus something we haven't even discovered yet. And there's no evidence of bathroom incidents involving trans individuals where they weren't the victims.
Also, your question reminded me of something my biology professor would say: "Ignorance is not asking the question." Good job being curious.
Bigots should use their brain for once, humanity says.
I always want to downvote transphobic bullshit, but this matters so here is an upvote and a comment for engagement.
So much for the view that trans people would not be impacted by this ruling, it was a clarification and they were covered elsewhere in the law
Says who?
Philipson, it's right there in the headline.
Who?
Why? Ok, I get the sports thing depending on the sport, the transition, the training etc etc..
But what, in your view, is the problem with someone who is trans utilising the bathroom, or the change rooms? What do you think will happen?
