Yes.

If you're scared of black people, or men, or gay people, or old people, or anyone else, you can use a safe, private space. You don't even need to explain why you want privacy or which demographic offends/worries you! (Not "you" personally; I mean its general use.) The main problem with this solution is space. If you have a lot of floor space, you can afford to build individual unisex toilets and changing rooms. If you operate on a small property, for example in the inner city, then you have to choose between inclusiveness and a long queue at the toilet. I think having enough space might be a valid practical concern in some areas. That being said, penises being scary is not a valid ethical concern imo. I don’t know what ethical concern means in this context but penises being scary probably is a valid concern for many women.

The space women are entitled not to have penises in is their bodies.

Is this not a dismissive attitude to what women may think on the matter? Edit: also there’s congressional testimony from one of Lia Thomases former teammates that some of the girls changed in the janitors closet because they felt uncomfortable. The idea that anyone is “inventing” women that are uncomfortable is off the mark.
It’s not unfairly dismissive and women are coming out ahead in my “you don’t get to decide which shared public spaces are reserved for which sex” stance. For most of history people without penises haven’t been allowed in positions of power. I’m dismissive of the people wishing to continue that oppression and their desire to restrict access based on penises.
If there’s a space that is intended for everyone and someone comes along and says “letting people with/without penises in makes me feel uncomfortable” then that’s their feeling but it’s not public policy. I mean come the fuck on, this is coloured water fountains all over again. You can feel uncomfortable if you like, as long as you accept that that’s your problem and don’t make it everyone else’s.

Has anyone considered making a person born with a penis, Use the washroom of people who were also born with a penis? That seems the easiest option here.
As far as I can tell from others in this thread and more, Having a penis doesn't prevent you from being a woman, So lets not divide on gender lines, and just look at the P and V line. At birth. Problem solved boys. Can't wait to enter my first P bathroom.
Yeah, they get really mad when trans people who pass as the sex they weren’t assigned at birth follow that policy. Big bearded trans men in the women’s bathrooms freak them out, even though the trans men really don’t want to be in there and the bigots are the ones legally requiring them to use them.
But yeah, we all thought of that. Bigots hate it and trans people don’t much like it either. It also tends to force passing trans women out because they have to use the men’s and they’re very often victims of violence.
We saw the same thing with high school wrestling with conservative media up in arms that a trans man was competing with women. The guy passed pretty well and so they all concluded that what had happened was that a boy had claimed to be a girl to wrestle with women. Whereas what actually happened was that a FTM trans man wanted to wrestle with the men but wasn’t allowed to because of their policies.

Oh I see, so if you pass you can use the lady's room then Kwark? God I wonder what the criteria for passing is.

That’s not what I said but okay. I don’t think you’re really putting in the effort needed to not look like an idiot here.
You show up with “has anyone considered the status quo existing policy we’ve always had” as your big bombshell idea and then try these bad faith gotchas.
Try harder.

Sorry, was it big bearded men(BBM) in the women's room that don't bother you then? or that does bother you? sorry I don't understand. Passing or not passing? The risk to women of BBM, or to the BBM of being potential victims of violence?
And for the love of god can I get a legit study on how trans people, Whom are not in the sex industry, Whom are serious victims of violence...Because they are trans, Not because they had some other shady hustle. Saying it is not proving it.

What do you newly women’s protection champions think about rules restricting gun ownership from people with domestic violence charges and other restrictions. Many more women hurt and killed with guns than in bathrooms by like a multiple maybe in the millions!
I was about to type exactly the same thing. Surely if you're concerned about women being uncomfortable near a penis, you should be even more concerned about people of all sorts being uncomfortable near a gun?

You’re allowed to make these kind of tangential posts as long as you’re doing it to call conservatives bigots or hypocrites. Don’t feel safe around penises, what about guns?!?! These are called good faith arguments.
Just don’t try to make posts like that about liberals. Take my word for it

I think one core problem here is who people think of when they think "trans".
I am pretty sure that Taelshin basically thinks of Adam Sandler in a bad wig and dress, but otherwise obviously Adam Sandler.
Of course, that whole movie is basically a transphobic joke.

I agree it is much easier that way and saves us from a lot of headaches. We have had men’s and women’s restrooms where it’s well understood what defines a man and a woman for many years. Despite the recent developments with gender identity and whatnot, the sky is not falling when a restaurant has bathrooms labeled “men” and “women”.
Making improvements to complicated issues is generally difficult and takes a long time. We are fortunate to have people in the world who feel any incentive whatsoever to engage with problematic situations rather than lunge towards whatever requires the least effort.
That is not to say folks like you do not have a purpose and can’t still be beneficial to society. Going to work, contributing to your community, and forming relationships is still a net positive and not everyone needs to be tackling difficult issues. But ultimately, it is important to not disrupt the work being done by folks who feel an investment in the future and are not discouraged by challenging or complicated tasks. Please contribute how you can, but also please have the mindfulness to know when you are viewing a complicated situation through a lens that isn’t up for the task.

@Simberto Never saw the movie dude I'm sorry. I clearly asked what is the criteria for passing. Anyone could answer this(they wont), I'd love to read Kwark answer to it but obviously he wont.
It's annoying when people like yourself assume intentions. It's as if your post assumes Transphobia? That's not true at all. Personally I have no issue with what adults do with their bodies including surgery's drugs ect. Sadly that's not the talking point right.

Peel away a few words and change the lingo a bit and I can see this being said to a black person 50-60 years ago. But remember, Mohdoo is a perfect example of progressive politics.
@Mohdoo Personally I feel like folks such as your self don't have a purpose in society. You increasingly don't have jobs. You've confused the investment of the future to "blaming people who disagree with you" for the reason your life is shitty in the here and now(and forgotten your idiocy in the present is the part of the cause). It's VERY important to not disrupt the people who keep the wheels of society turning of which you clearly don't understand.
Being a condescending asshole is not cool btw. And I am actually sorry I don't post more but I am too busy working, The question is what are you doing?

I don’t disagree, I think this is logically consistent. I think a lot of times people want to have their cake and eat it too by saying it’s okay to banish cis people with penises but not trans people with penises from women spaces.
It’s is okay to ban men from women’s spaces but not okay to ban trans women from women’s spaces because trans women are women.
A bathroom is not a cis woman exclusionary zone. It’s for all women.

Yeah but if you change all the words to be the complete works of Shakespeare then it looks a lot more reasonable. Really makes you think.
