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.

    Why do questions like this always sound like the person asking is just putting a question mark at the end of something they’ve considered doing?

      Ah yes, the people that are against letting men in the women’s spaces are the ones that want to go in women’s spaces. Impeccable logic you have there.

        Trans women are women, bigot.

        I’d imagine that trans women don’t want to use the men’s room because of people like you who consider restrooms to be peeping opportunities.

          I’m talking sex, not gender.

          Quit the name calling.

          Also again with trying to deflect and call the people that want to stop any potential for “peeping opportunities” the ones that are the “peepers” lol. Make it make sense.

            I don’t want 11 year old girls being forced to use men’s restrooms. Why do you want that so badly?

              11 year old biological boys you mean?

              Why do you so desparately want biological males to be allowed in to female-only spaces? You’re trying to make out that the people that don’t want biological males in biological female toilets are the creepy ones here and it’s bizarre lol.

              Why do you want 11 year old biological girls in the mens toilets with you? Why do you want that so badly?

                I think people should use the restroom that corresponds to their gender. You keep going on about meaningless biological differences and making up hypotheticals about men in women’s restrooms. The story is about a girl using the women’s restroom. Note: they’re not called “Biologically male restrooms” or “Biologically female restrooms”. They’re men’s restrooms and women’s restrooms. Gender. The social construct. Not the genitalia that you keep obsessing over.

                Do you seriously believe that someone would go to all the trouble of dealing with the bullshit that bigots are delighted to put trans people through just to perv on people in the commode? Do you think the 11 year old plaintiff in the story is doing that? Are you really gonna libel an 11 year old?

                  Wow. Meaningless?!

                  They’re men’s restrooms and women’s restrooms. Gender. The social construct.

                  No, they’re Male and Female, the sexes. Gender as a “social construct” is a relatively new thing (since the 80s, and only the last few years have there been more than 2 genders), yet restrooms and public bathrooms have existed long before then.

                  Do you seriously believe that someone would go to all the trouble of dealing with the bullshit that bigots are delighted to put trans people through just to perv on people in the commode?

                  You’ve completely missed the point. I, like many others, are against removing the barriers that exist to give biological females their own safe spaces away from biological men. It opens female toilets/gyms/health clinics/rape centres/etc to biological men, the very thing that many of them were made specifically to exclude. The issue isn’t specifically the trans people at all - it’s the fact that to allow them in they’re based on “self ID” you’re allowing anyone in there.
