they're just there to take a stuff and leave without feeling like garbage
nobody leaves a public restroom and doesn't feel like garbage

nobody leaves a public restroom and doesn't feel like garbage
is that a challenge

Men can do that now, it's not like there's currently an anti-snake forcefield on women's bathrooms.
it still doesn't change that the man can sit in that bathroom regardless of if the law says he can be there or not. and if someone is acting suspicious, they can be pulled out for that just as well. again, we don't really have much data to support that any massive issue is going to be caused by having protections in place for trans people
It makes it easier for them. It gives them an excuse to be in there, compared to when it was socially unacceptable and you'd be pulled out the second you'd be seen inside.

jenner went under 10 hours of extremely expensive facial reconstruction surgery to look more feminine.
99.99% of other transgender individuals have not.
I'm just going to go back and copy and paste what I said about this

"Unless you're pulling down everyone's pants and inspecting their genitals when they walk into the bathroom, trans people do not outwardly indicate their love. That guy whose picture I linked could very well still have a vagina and walk into a male bathroom, right? How he appears when clothed is entirely doable with just HRT or makeup. (The makeup person is a crossdresser and not trans, but a trans person could just as easily be using makeup to change their appearance) So you don't need surgery or even HRT to pass this "pass by looks" standard. A majority of trans people transition in one of these ways, or at least the way they present themselves is androgynous to the point where they could pass for either love.

Which is what makes this "by looks" standard very stupid."

even if it locally brought attention im most certain a nation wide "hello everyone you can use whatever restroom you want" is going to give the wrong idea to the wrong people.
The thing is there doesn't need to be a nation wide announcement like that. How it was before legislatures started explicitly banning this stuff was just fine; trans people could just go into the bathroom they wanted without consequence.

We live in one of the most accepting societies on the planet

His argument is that even transgender people who aren't questioned about being transgendered have the same Self Delete rates.
My counterargument is that being questioned about being transgender is not the only factor that would cause Self Deletes among their population.

Also it's clearly not very accepting if I were to use this thread as a sample of the general population.

You can't assume that we're in a perfect world and that everybody has heard of current issues. You also can't assume that the people who do hear about it are going to shy away from abusing it, if they're that desperate. It's common sense, almost, to just know that even just ONE person is going to abuse this. I'm not saying the solution is keeping it how it always was, because the solution is tricky. You can't have one or the other without arising problems.

People are acting like I need to give examples, saying, "what would they even do??"
Why does somebody that gets arrested for loveual assaults do what they do? If a man is given access to a women's bathroom, then he can sit in there and wait for somebody he deems 'fit' and then do whatever the hell he wants, because he's close enough to them. Getting arrested or not is going to deter them.
The thing is we've HAD one of these solutions already. I already explained this in response to you. I already explained this.

Also if a man is given access to a women's bathroom and his plan is "to do whatever the hell he wants", any horrible thing he might plan on doing would be illegal. (as it'd be loveual harassment or assault or whatever you might have in mind) He'd still be deterred by possibly being arrested.

i don't even have the courage to stuff in my own biological gender's public bathroom

tony always makes these topics and its always a big hit
what is his secret

i don't even have the courage to stuff in my own biological gender's public bathroom
as a transgender ill probably not even find out the point where i'll be passable enough to go to the fem bathroom.
ill probably be a girl in the boys bathroom for the longest time

tony always makes these topics and its always a big hit
what is his secret
I could do it too just watch
I'll make a topic with the word "transgender" in it and watch the bullets fly"

Yes, but these are all quotes from times where transgendered people weren't trendy. There's nothing saying that now, since transgender stuff is becoming more and more apparent, more of the right (and wrong) people are going to do something.

i'd be disinclined to listen to this guy since it seems to literally be an anti-trans speech It's not
but i don't see how it's possible to deny that trans people would feel pressure from society. Like what type of pressure?
it's abnormal, and they know it. Of course it's abnormal to think you can change love
i don't know a single trans person that hasn't gone through issues like this with their friends and family. ^
they often have to keep it secret from people that should be closest to them, and they have to play this game of figuring out who can and can't know and how to keep it secret until they're ready to come out. Tough
it's not easy and it's not a life anyone would want to choose. ^

nobody leaves a public restroom and doesn't feel like garbage
this is the most compelling argument i've seen yet

It makes it easier for them. It gives them an excuse to be in there, compared to when it was socially unacceptable and you'd be pulled out the second you'd be seen inside.
ok. so imagine that a man walks into the women's restroom and starts acting strange in a way that is clearly unusual and not taking a piss and/or stuff. people aren't stupid, that's suspicious and someone is probably going to have the same reaction and report them. we aren't creating any protections for criminals. i still think people are acting too soon. people are creating policy that's reacting to nothing. we haven't even seen any of this hypothetical crime hike yet, and we certainly haven't given any chance to see if there will be any kind of prolonged increase. i think it's too soon to say anything one way or another, and trans people need help now.

as a transgender ill probably not even find out the point where i'll be passable enough to go to the fem bathroom.
ill probably be a girl in the boys bathroom for the longest time
yeah i think a lot of trans people won't even be comfortable using a different bathroom anyway if they haven't come out


you seemed to mostly just dismiss trans people's problems as illegitimate, so i'm not really sure where to start in replying to this other than saying that trans people aren't just pretending and they can't stop their feelings. you can't just tell them to suck it up and deal with it, that's insensitive and inhumane. it'd be the same as telling someone with any mental problem that it's all in their head, that they'll get over it, etc., that's just not how the brain works. if all you have to say is "get over it" i'm disinclined to actually think you want to understand anything, and if you don't even want to try understanding, then maybe you should stop telling people how they should feel and act.

man I wish I was trans instead of depressed so I'd have an army of handicaps to defend me when somebody tells me to "suck it up" or "stop being so sad"

the difference is that people largely understand and relate to depression, and we understand the psychological causes and treatments for depression a whole lot better. people telling someone depressed to get over it is just as dumb and if this thread were about that i'd be defending it too

i don't like it when people assume they know another person's mind more then that person knows their own mind

I wouldn't go that far but I get what you're saying

I don't care about someone's feelings
it'd be the same as telling someone with any mental problem that it's all in their head, That's what a metal illness is
that they'll get over it, etc. When have I even implied that, I've said they need treatment, not richard slicing
that's just not how the brain works.
if all you have to say is "get over it" i'm disinclined to actually think you want to understand anything, and if you don't even want to try understanding, then maybe you should stop telling people how they should feel and act. Boo hoo my life didn't turn out the way I thought it would
