Women don't like going to the bathroom with men.
They tolerate it on campgrounds, but not places of business that they frequent often.
You keep saying this, but you don't speak for all women. I am a woman who does not care one flying fuck if the other ladies in the restroom were born with a penis, a vagina, or some variation thereof. I care much more about whether they flush & wipe the seat.
I'm certain you're not conflating trans with violent, right?? Or sticking up for people who do?
Absolutely, but the barrier is not coming from men who don't want to share restrooms with women.
No, actually, as transfem the only time anyone ever confronted me about the bathroom I used was a man before I switched. Evidently I was freaking guys out at the urinals 😅
I'm a woman and I don't care. I've been in the bathroom with men before and even had a nice conversation with them. Do I not exist? Who gave you the rights to speak on behalf of all women everywhere?
I specified women because there is not a significant amount of men who are vocal about being opposed to sharing restrooms with women.
If you listen to women, many of them are legitimately afraid of sharing bathrooms with men. I think it's unfair to pretend their concerns don't exist just because you don't share them.
It's not like we watch each other pee? It's not the men's room.
I think it's more of a safety concern mixed with sexism.
I've come across women that flat-out say they are more afraid of men on average and try to avoid them if possible.
One in four women face sexual violence. I get it.
It sure would be nice if they'd stop to consider how women like me would feel to be forced to be surrounded by men in the men's restroom.
