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.

    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.

      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.
