Women's rooms used to be a haven for women, a place to get away from the sexualized atmosphere created by men. This changed a little with the lesbian movement, but now, transgender sensibilities are further trampling into the safe spaces for women.
In New York City, homeless shelters are allowing men who "feel more comfortable as women" to use women's restrooms and dormitories. The problem with this, of course, is that women want to feel safe away from men, even if those men "feel like" women. These new trans-gender policies allow potentially sexually confused trans men or sexual predators (tran or faking it) to sleep near women and children (many women don't care what you say, they know that testosterone makes men more sexually aggressive even if they "feel like" women).
What can we do? We can either separate men and women by their God-given biology, or we need to create new spaces for the now FOUR possible genders.
If we create rest rooms and dorms for these new genders, we could probably use the following signs:
I think whow ever wrote this, should have there head removed from there rectum. I am not on this planet to judge anyone. If we are talking about God here and God given rights, what rights are those exactly? They were laws not rights. I hope who ever wrote this knows that you get judged as you have judged. I for one would not want to be before God and have him judge me harshly just becuse I judged someone. We are not the judges or jurrys of this life we were given. We are the little pupils, we are the tested, we are the ones that get to study humbulness, kindness to others, meekness. We get wrapped up with ourselfs and get big heads and decide ourselfs that we are the judges of humanity. But geuss what we are not. satan got a big head and was cast into hell for his jellusy of man, an I for one would not like to share his fate. If men feel as a woman and thats what makes him happy then fine with me, no skin off my nose. If you say that all men are prediters and make women downtrodden then you your self would be judged as a lesbo, but thats not for me to decide becuse I dont know you now do I? I myself have friends that are transgender females, and they are not wicked or evil or strange thank you. They are very female people and the coolest people I know, I am blessed to have such great friends.
I realize that my wording made it seem like trans men are sexual predators. What I meant (I have changed the wording) is that this opens the door for predatory men to pretend to be trans to get access to women's bathrooms.
I stand by, however, my description of 'sexually confused trans men.'
Silly me, I thought those rooms’ purpose was peeing, pooping, primping, and washing your hands or face.
No sign for the intersexed, Dan? Aren’t they excluded from your cisgender restrooms too?
What about men’s safety from predatory men? If, to you, everyone with testosterone is a potential sexual predator, wouldn’t you want to make men’s rooms hetâ€only? And surely, women’s rooms aren’t a “haven” from a “sexualized atmosphere” unless they exclude lesbians too.
You’ll need more signs for all the minorities you’ll want to marginalize.
Maybe what we really need is separate individual water closets for bigots, so they need not excrete near anyone they hate or fear, making normal restrooms havens from the prejudiced atmosphere created by contemptuous narrowminded jerks, like people who design snide transgendered restroom signs.
Naturally, this is humorous, and you make my point – we can't have signs for every gender-confused variant out there. Those who are truly hermaphrodites get to choose, I suppose. The rest should respect their biology – if you got a weenie, use the boys room.
Regarding men being predatory towards men (or women towards women), a separate bathroom won't cure that. That's what gun ownership is for ;)
My solution elegantly handles restroom segregationists of any stripe: cisâ€only, hetâ€only, whitesâ€only, Judenfrei, or anything else. Instead of minorities, we exclude a real cause of restroom violence, bigots. If you respect people whatever their biology, use a decent people’s room. If you are a prick, use the bigot’s room.
Have a happy Transgender Day of Remembrance.
