A district judge in Wisconsin has sided with an 11-year-old trans girl over her use of the girls’ toilets and temporarily blocked school officials from preventing her access.

    Some girls have a problem with it. Should we ignore their concerns? I wish everyone had no issues at all like you. If that was the case we could just build single coed bathrooms. Possibly that is what we should do from an early age. Get rid of the male/female bathroom entirely so that it is normal to all use the same bathroom and gender identity would no longer matter.

      Yes. The concerns of transphobes (and other bigots) should be ignored.

            I don’t think they’re in opposition to the rights of trans people to use the bathroom. Way to shift the argument. congrats.

                I followed the context of the conversation accurately. Have you?

                I think not…

                  the entire context of the conversation has been about bathrooms. your reading comprehension is either terrible and you’re lashing out, or you’re lying. take your pick.

          Do you understand the definition of the word? If you have an aversion to sharing a space with trans people, then you’re a transphobe.

              I can’t imagine that most women would feel more comfortable having a big bearded man in the bathroom who was born female than they would a prototypically feminine woman that was born male.

              I suspect most people that feel this way are unaware of how well most trans people pass.

              Why is it that every time I hear this conversation people on your side are only talking about MtF people and acting like FtM isn’t common? I suspect it’s because the existence of FtM people nullifies your argument and you know it.

              I say this as a cis man, so I’m not claiming to speak for either group. Just applying basic logic and making a guess about the kind of people that would feel threatened.

              Edit: I know I’m coming off aggressive, I truly believe everything I’m saying to my core, and don’t, on any level, understand why everyone doesn’t. If you actually have a counter to this argument, I would be curious to hear it.

      Yes, we should ignore them. Just like we ignore homophobes that have a problem sharing with gays, or racists that have a problem sharing with back people.
