    They like to bring up the “a man could wear a dress and go into the women’s room and rape a little girl” canard. To which I reply, “they’d probably get away with that more easily if they wore a janitor’s uniform. We really should ban janitors from bathrooms.”

    They don’t care for that suggestion.

      I may be pulling something out of my ass but I honestly can’t be bothered to check. But, wasn’t this something that was said about lesbian women too? That they shouldn’t be allowed in women’s bathroom because they would pry on other women and so on?

        Not only was that a thing, a lot of the transphobic violence in bathrooms winds up hitting cis lesbians

        At this point, maybe people should just start shitting on the floor if someone tries to challenge them.

            Of course not, but just try doing it in an Aeropostale.

            …not that I’d know anything about that.

      They already do this in church. They don’t need to risk trying it in a public bathroom.

      So the only thing stopping them from doing that now is the dress detecting force field around the bathroom?
