Title: Transgenders and bathrooms, the thread.
Post by: Am_I_Anonymous on April 28, 2016, 06:47:42 AM: Seems like we need a discussion on this.

Personally for adults I don't really have an issues with a transgender using the bathroom that makes them feel comfortable. Hell its only 5 minutes of life and nobody hangs out there.

I do feel sorry for them the first time some pervert uses TG to take pics of little girls however. People are going to get hurt for nor reason, this is a promise.

Wouldn't the easiest solution be to build a 3rd bathroom for children and their parent? Would that not be the easiest way to eliminate the bullshit? I mean generally an additional bathroom isn't going to blow the budget on a new build anyway.

What say you, bore?

Unisex bathrooms are cool but then women will occupy that shit.

Post by: Mupepe on April 28, 2016, 08:00:14 AM: Can't say I care too much about what bathroom a person uses. Pervs exist and I don't think arbitrary social rules is going to keep a perv out of a bathroom and I don't think blurring that arbitrary line is going to turn normal folks into pervs.

It seems like it's a situation ripe for misunderstandings though I believe that's unavoidable at this point.

Post by: Brehvolution on April 28, 2016, 08:47:16 AM: A lot of people already shared a bathroom with a trans person and didn't notice because it's not big fucking deal.

Whenever the men's bathroom is taken I use the ladies restroom without even thinking about it. So I don't care, use whatever bathroom is available.

Ha I do that at the local bar we go to. I give 0 fucks.

Plus they have a mirror so I can get my quick vanity on before I return.

Post by: fistfulofmetal on April 28, 2016, 09:57:13 AM: I actually sort of like the idea of changing bathrooms from gender based to age based. You have to figure out what the age limit is, what rules you put in place for how parents take their children in and whatnot but I think it's a good compromise against the bigots who use the "protect children" argument.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on April 28, 2016, 10:11:07 AM: This is all so dumb. Let a person use whatever bathroom they identify with. Creeps are going to be in bathrooms regardless of what happens with these stupid laws. Gloryholes will still exist at gas station men's bathrooms, and truckers will still peek at my dong when standing next to me at a urinal.

Creeps gon' creep. Let civilized, gender-comfortable people use whichever bathroom they want.

Naw, we don't. People's genitals are their own damn business and if this is an issue for anyone they're a shit.

Post by: Madrun Badrun on April 28, 2016, 10:37:13 AM: Due to the fact that children may read this thread, I'd prefer if our transgendered members uses this thread to discuss this matter http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=39958.990

In all seriousness, the fact that politicians are actually talking about this isn't a bad thing as its a sign that transgenderness is becoming more mainstream. This kind of attention will bring out the bigots and people, especially teenagers and children will see that that bigotry is worse than any bathroom molesting boogywomen. Hate doesn't win hearts and minds.

Also I think the real solution is that people with kids ought to stay home. They made their choice.
Title: Re: Transgenders and bathrooms, the thread.
Post by: Madrun Badrun on April 28, 2016, 10:40:30 AM: Also all bathrooms should have sealed stalls that completely steam clean themselves after every use. Then the only social interaction would be at the sink. This is the future I want for our children.

And the stalls could be powered on burning the corpses of junkies that OD in them. I'm going to be so rich.

Post by: Mandark on April 28, 2016, 02:36:42 PM: The bathroom panic is a dick move similar to how The Donald talks about Mexicans and Muslims: spreading and repeating lies about a minority group to stoke the majority's fear and hatred of them. It's the worst part of politics.

Post by: brawndolicious on April 28, 2016, 07:11:32 PM: I imagine talking to a trans person today is like talking to a freeman in the late 1800s. Just a few years ago I was asking my transgenderperson friend if cheeseburger is really considered a slur and she was like yeah, "but I use it all the time so I don't personally care". My vocabulary is starting to age. =(

Regarding the topic, of course the only decent way to take a dump is in a bathroom that only you can be in but if I have to share, I'd prefer to do it in most antiauthoritarian way possible which would mean communal toilets like they had in Rome. It fits me being a giant asshole with a kind mouth.
