I’m a 65 year old cis woman. I just don’t get it….i couldn’t care less about other women being in the same restroom, whether they’re trans or cis. Who TF cares?
Who would have guessed that denying our existence would lead to the woke-pocalypse of the entire global economy. I guess we ARE that important to civilization.
To be fair, they’re not trying to stop you from peeing, but trying to force you to only pee in a vulnerable situation where straights of the opposite gender have a perfect opportunity to violate you.
I’d call it a crime against humanity, and far worse, but regardless we should look at it honestly.
They let the world's richest man intentionally cut off millions of the world's most desperately poor people. They are starving millions for 0.35% of the budget.
You know what is great about the gender neutral bathrooms I’ve been in? The stalls go all the way to the floor and I don’t worry about someone being able to peek in through the cracks. Who’d have thought!
The ones I went to still had a drain in every stall so that was still an option. As an architectural student I think it is because when you select parts for a project it’s a cheaper option to do partitions over single rooms. And the client is almost always going to choose the cheapest option.
I never considered the cost here. I thought the cost difference between enough MDF to go to the floor versus 40cm less would be negligible, since most of the cost would be production and transport, not materials, but that makes sense.
Actually measuring and cutting close fit walls and diirs for the specific customer configuration is costly. US stalls are a bunch of standard modular components, which leads to large gaps so the components fit well enough
Cost in full walks is in manufacturing and install, not raw materials.
It's also a task that other countries seem to manage all the time.
Floor to ceiling stalls are unusual in the UK, but floor to well-above-head-level is certainly the standard, and gaps to either side of the door is just... not a thing.
Gaps in Australia range from a few centimetres to 40-ish. I have seen a stall wall that barely went lower than the rim of the bowl, before. That was disconcerting to use.
I don't even think there'd be an issue if we desegragated the bathrooms entirely.
It's just dumb people and their absurd ideas and imagination. "But men and women are in the same space!!! What if something happens!?" It's not like they give a fuck when something DOES happen. They VOTED for a rapist
When I visited Providence RI a few years ago, I went to a Korean BBQ place and there was only one restroom, there was no door on the bathroom itself, but did have multiple stalls. I used it twice while we were there and the only people that seemed shocked by me being there were men 😂
Also it's not like people can't already enter the other bathroom to do nefarious activities. Literally just gotta walk in. That's it. Crazy, huh. Almost like... it makes no difference.
If a man wants to victimize someone in a women's restroom, he doesn't need to pretend he's trans. He also doesn't have to wait until they change the sign on the door. This isn't about safety, it's about bigotry, and always has been.
Something I've seen nobody ever discuss, why can't we just build a bunch of single room bathrooms in establishments now instead of giant ones we all congregate in? I don't want any random adults looking at my kids while they pee regardless of sexual identity or preference.
My vision would be massive amounts of single stall bathrooms equipped with a toilet, urinal and changing station. Then when you come out there's a block of sinks for people to wash their hands. No more big lines for the women's room at large events while the men's room is empty.
I've been to places like London and Paris in 2007 and 2010 and they've been having this. American folly is just wanting to replicate highschool environments in every single shopping plaza so people can chat and chill in a communal semi-private space, something we've been led to believe is "sacred".
I don't even think it was trans people wanting to use the bathroom. it was the fact the right was upset that gay people were legally allowed to marry in the USA so they needed something else to rally the right on. it's no coincidence the trans bathroom debate started up in 2015
And this isn't to say there's not a genocide against trans people; there absolutely is. Just more conservatives know someone who is gay, or have gay people they love. Gay marriage being legalized changed the social tide on that & it's hard to change. It's more socially acceptable to be transphobic.
I'm sure if they felt they could get away with and enforce it, there are people in the federal government who would annull all same sex marriages though.
That's where it originated for sure. Then it wasn't socially acceptable to be publicly bigoted against a minority group. So they went after an even more marginalised and vulnerable minority group. And it's still socially acceptable to be transphobic in a lot of countries.
Of course. Conservatives and the far-right thrive on the fear of the unknown. They did it to people of colour, the gay and lesbian community, trans people and refugees/immigrants. They'll demonise any group different in the slightest bit.
Like how they lost ground with segregation. they are absolutely still racist but it's not a rallying point anymore so they went after abortion when they previously didn't care about it.
Couldn't agree more.
But don't blink. Segregation is on the table again with the removal of DEI etc. The racism never went away. Nor the control of women. Or the homophobia. Or the persecution of the poor. Or the demonstration of immigrants. Trump just gave them licence to be loud and public.
@erininthemorning.com this latest move by trump to label trans kids transitioning as child abuse is abhorrently cruel. What’s the chance he will accuse trans parents like me of child abuse for transitioning while I raise my two kids? DFS has already tried to take my kids away five times. It’s evil!
Yeah. The domino being pushed over was them wanting to stop y’all from using the bathroom, not the simple fact that y’all have biological needs. They caused this, not you. This is all on them.
People will be living in a post-apocalyptic world by the end of the century and will say shit like 'In the ancient times, The Pronouns protected the economy, but The Fools removed them, and now we hunt rats to survive'
With everything going on right now, I would like to take a moment to laugh at the folks who responsible for this mess and the people who put them in power all because they couldn't handle our mere existence.
it’s JUST public restrooms too???? That they’re throwing fits over??? Not even ALL restrooms on the planet, just certain public ones that trans folks may not even use when they go out most of the time ya know???? The margin is waywayWAY smaller than they think
It's so stupid how all of this happened. 1)trans fear mongering 2)tea party because of a black president 3)Joe Rogan 4)druggie autistic South African with blood emerald money.
And might as well add 5)christian hate due to "the war on Christmas", Starbucks cups, and a rainbow flag
Before anyone else tries to ban me ableist, Musk does actually fit the DSM, as so must ultra rich assholes. Being a narcissist isn't what makes him an asshole, but it definitely contributes to why ultra rich people are willing to let other people die for their own gain.
Sorry for my poorly phrased words leading to a fight. I think it's clear though, he and many other rich world leaders have shown the world their cruelty and lack of empathy. Fighting amongst ourselves is what they profit on.
I had to go to the Hospital where my speech therapist is and really had to use the restroom. After reading the story of the girl in Florida, it was more frightening than being a tanker in the army, more than being a paratrooper, more than driving a truck on icy Montana and Idaho passes. Thanks Greg.
*really refugees of all types, from all countries.
but, basically: people always say “come to Canada” but the policies of the Canadian government make it impossible for most trans or queer Americans to flee to your country at this point in time.
Just want to say, thanks for your services Don! I have a friend, 10yrs, Toronto Police, was not a joke. Another one, 15-20yrs in Ottawa Force, brutal! Hope you’re enjoying retirement!
I know it's not the point here, but, if my using the bathroom was actually propping up megacorps and rich people investments, I would be happy with just going at home.
Hey now, that's not all that was accomplished. They also made sure there would never be a black woman in Star Wars again and kept pronouns out of video games.
Sadly, no one who voted for Trump will tell you it wasn't worth it. This is exactly what they wanted.
I so don't care which restroom you use. I'm very confused about what sensational stuff happens in the restrooms those idiots use. My experience has been pretty mundane.
I get that. And I also have this weird fetish about not looking at anyone in a restroom if at all possible. Superman could roll up in there and I wouldn't know it. The Lord didn't put me here to police other people's genitalia.
Woah woah woah woah, slow down. What do you mean giving all people a sense of life and respect is profitable? How dare you come in here with your woke bullshit and dare to suggest that over 7% (As of 2021) of Americans, or 23Million Americans, or, nearly 1/10 of Americans has impact and value!?
I'd like to apologize, after making this post I went and found newer research and my numbers are all kinds of messed up.
As of 2024, that number has gone from 7.1% to 9.3% according the Gallup Survey. Which is 31mil Americans, or, roughly the same population of Texas, our 2nd largest US state.
OP just means that people primarily voted to disenfranchise minority groups (including and especially trans people) but also ended up causing a tanked economy as the tradeoff. The image at the top of the dominoes is a series of stocks on the stock market going red/negative in value
Imagine the entire economy being destroyed because some assholes wanted to bully trans people for even existing. Course, no economy is more important than people. If Trans people destroys our economy, then our economy should be destroyed c:
Exactly this! I have never seen another woman’s private parts in a public restroom. I wouldn’t even care if it were a big burly man in the next stall, as long as we all mind our own business, there is nothing wrong with everyone sharing a restroom.
I'd say it goes back even further than that. A lot of bigots were pissed off about Obergerfell. And a lot of those same people were mad about Obama having the audacity to be black. And a lot of those same people were mad at Roe. And a lot of those- This poison has been in our blood for a while.
Kinda like all of these things are deep baked into our country cause people who make the laws have been alive since before we de-segregated our schools.
JFC priorities people. Way too much thinking about the bathroom.
When I first read about the bathroom obsession, I had totally forgotten about a colleague (now friend) who is a transgender woman I had shared the bathroom with countless times. 🙄
I think of how many times I used the men’s room because the ladies room had the world’s longest line, and it was never an issue.
This was the dumbest election pitch and I’m just so mind blown that it worked. I have a feeling the tide is going to turn because it’s so hateful and unjust.
Economy is in the toilet.
Food and gas prices are at an all time high.
Foreign tourism and investment is gone.
US is a pariah state on the world stage.
Was never having to use they/them pronouns really worth it?
"For all my life, I trusted that evil guy had the economy's best interests at heart when he said he wanted to kill puppies for fun, but now that big red line™️ go down, I've seen the error of my ways and want to say I'm really really sorry 😔"
Lmao they deserve it. Unfortunately the only thing that trickles down is shit so we will def see the cost hit us but when things turn back we won’t get much benefit. I hope we bankrupt some CEOs on the way.
Some may say people are waking up but it's because he promised to hurt ONLY a select group of people and isn't sticking to that campaign promise. The masses in general, particular DJT voters, weren't suppose to feel any pain.
Once when I had to hurry to the bathroom as a kid, i vowed never to prevent anyone from peeing. For some reason it has stuck with me ever since, but I had no idea the world would become ridiculous enough for it to actually become a legitimate political stance
Does anyone have any idea what it is about trans people existing that seems to cause people to completely melt down? Ruining relationships with friends family and destroying careers and countries level meltdowns.
I don't even care about climate change as much as these people are obsessed with trans
We are just a convenient Goldstein for the right. We are politically active, rejected their sexist gender roles, are nearly all progressive/left, and maKe up a small enough portion of the population that most cis people don't know one of us if they aren't already LGBTQ+.
Seriously! The campaign against trangender women has been THE DUMBEST campaign in my lifetime in addition to just being horrible, dangerous, and heartbreaking.
I mean I’ve lost $6k in two days in my retirement account but at least I don’t have to worry about the genitalia of other people going to the bathroom near me! Oh wait, I never fucking worried about that……
Also, do this laws even stop trans people from going to the bathroom? It doesnt even feel practical Without a guard that is constantly following people. Still nazi shit tho.
Nintendo, Japanese government, you have an opportunity to pump some tourism numbers up by having US region locked switch2s at the Nintendo store at Narita.
The tariff cost on the high end model alone pays for a significant amount of the airfare.
When they said we threaten western civilization, it didn't occur to them that they could manifest their way to crashing the economy and potentially permanently shattering US standing in the world
I have never, ever, ever once worried about a trans man or woman in the bathroom with me or my kids. You know what though? I 100% worry about my youngest kid being in the men’s room without big bro or dad there too. 🫤
I used to stand in the doorway of the men's restroom to wait for my son. Maybe it's because I'm rather tall and have rbf that would melt cast iron, but not one man ever said a word to me. 😅
I’m always baffled by what these people are doing in public bathrooms that a trans woman would disrupt or upset. I’ve always just gone into a stall, peed, flushed, left the stall, stripped naked & summoned a demon, dressed, washed my hands & left. Just normal bathroom stuff we can all do together.
I guarantee there are a ton of them out there with no regerts because poverty is tolerable as long as they get to gloat over a few trans people who can't go to the proper bathroom.
Someone said to me that maybe we should sit down and allow our rights to be taken away to preserve the peace. I responded to that person (who was a *massive* terf btw) by saying I'll let this mf-er burn to the ground before I'll degrade myself that way for the benefit of my abusers. F that.
Mostly unrelated but a pet peeve of mine I hate
Gendered bathrooms with just 1 toilet. You don't need to gender them!
Just make 2 gender neutral bathrooms. Increases productivity and allows access for everyone without getting on the nerves of the asshats
If there's something I'm missing plz tell me
Let the nasty as fuck straights suffer now that they’ve made the choice to vote for fascism over a fucking bathroom. I hope they take their Medicare and social security so that the old people exit this life into their graves!
THIS WHAT YOU GET! OUR SUPER LASER PISS! BUT WE’RE NOT GONNA HIT AMERICA, WE’RE GONNA AIM LOWER, THE SCUM OF THE EARTH! WE’RE PISSING ON WALLSTREET! 🗣️

Or why some people care so much about other people's privates. Creepy fucks.

Unless, of course, it's a woman who's up for some nefarious deeds...

very few of us are allowed in each year.
