trans rights are an issue which is extremely controversial for no reason. People on the left and right work themselves up for fringe-case scenarios like trans athletes or trans person using the restroom.
I know a few trans people and honestly, most trans people just want to be left alone. A trans person is literally just someone with a man’s brain in a women’s body or women’s brain in man’s body. Actual trans people understand that e.g. someone hooking up with you and not revealing they’re trans, or not accepting that you don’t date trans people, is extremely messed up. The people who don’t, them being trans is not the issue, there are psychos of all kinds.
I don’t see why people are so concerned with bathrooms because 1) actual men can illegally enter women’s bathrooms anyways, and 2) if someone is behaving creepy and sexual in a bathroom it doesn’t matter what gender they are. Like no sane person who clearly appears to be one gender is going to publicly enter the other gender’s bathroom and expose themselves, trans or not. I know most trans people do not like entering gender-specific bathrooms with others around anyways.
But people just get so worked up about these issues. Case in point: one environmentalist group explicitly advocates against trans people using their gender’s bathrooms, and the other group gets so offended it hinders their shared goal to help the environment.
