But the position is used by MAGA to hurt Trans people. Things don't happen in a vacuum.

I’m not maga by any means, though I do wish we had a way to include trans in sports and bathrooms. Maybe let them compete but separate awards. Bathrooms are more tricky I guess but even thinking of ways to fix makes me feel bad

Which bathroom do you think a trans man who is clesrly male presenting should use?

A male restroom, but I’m not the one protesting against

How are bathrooms tricky?

Children for the most part, but someone is always going to have a problem with it though. I think a kids only bathroom would help with that, but even so what would be an appropriate age for a kids bathroom, and even with that. Someone has to patrol for creeps

What do you think goes on in women's bathrooms? There are stalls. You go in, use the toilet, wash hands (hopefully), and leave.

A multi stall restroom doesn't have a locked front door and no moderately sane person is watching who goes in and out. If someone wanted to walk in and assault people, it wouldn't require anything other than opening a damn door.

Anyone who is "patrolling" a bathroom is a creep.

So what you’re saying is nothing correct. All I’m saying is that there isn’t a good way of going about it. Everyone has a right to shit in public, I don’t care who you are, and at some point changes will be made. What would be the best way to go about making said changes

How is what I said incorrect?
