It's kinda hard to take the rest even the littlest bit seriously after that.
I think there might be some underlying bit I'm not getting about these claims, but there's definitely a bit much hyperbole really grasp it.
- jimktrains2 9y agoIsn't your reaction to his complaint that switching to unisex restrooms is a deliberate political signal, and not about welcoming to trans folk part of what this post is talking about? If we can't discuss how others feel about this, if the motivation for the switch to unisex bathrooms is an overt political signal or a genuine one to marginalized groups, are we really behaving civil? Specifically because bathrooms are something that's banged into most peoples heads as gendered thing and the opposite sex in them might make them uncomfortable, for no overtly sexist, homophobic, transphobic, &c reason; it's something they've been taught very strongly, and transitions do take time. Remember, the complaint is not that unisex bathrooms are bad, but that they're being used as a political signal to tell people who aren't comfortable with them that they aren't welcome, regardless of the reason for the uncomfort.
