Some women are uncomfortable sharing bathrooms with trans-women. Should we continue to dictate how these women should behave and feel?



We generally established that "I don't feel comfortable being around them" is not an excuse to discriminate back in the 60s.

To clarify: would you argue that the existence of separate drinking fountains for white people and black people is justified because many white people feel uncomfortable drinking from the same fountain a black person has just used? If not, why not?


Isn't this an argument that there should be no bathroom segregation whatsoever? Why should women care if men use the same bathroom as them?


Yup and gender neutral bathrooms are a thing without much ceremony in a whole bunch of places.

I have to say that I have seen a lot of arguments in support of bathroom bans, but trans women have stinkier shits is new to me and perhaps the most outlandishly petty reason I could imagine. So while I disagree with the entirety of your post, I will give you kudos for coming up with that one.


Well, thank you. Eyerolls and disgust right back at 'cha.
