Keep transgender people out of the wrong restroom!

Transgender people should be banned from using the wrong restroom! They should only use the one that corresponds to their gender identity. A transgender man should stay out of the women’s room, and vice versa! I demand that these restrictions on bathroom use by transgender people be imposed nationwide! There’s a room for you, use it and stay out of the other one because you don’t belong there!

Poe’s Law…

You can’t teach a dead pony a new trick.

You can try but it would be a rotten thing to do.

Dead ponies shouldn’t turn tricks?

Don’t judge.

That topic is so last month.

This is way above Poe’s law! First of all, my smiley gives it away. Second, the genius of it is what exactly it is satirizing. It’s, like, meta.

I think that the trans-gendered bathroom issue, or any bathroom issue, is one of convenience. By that I mean, that despite whatever a person knows their correct gender to be, their plumbing/situation is still suited best for a particular restroom and should be accommodated.

Take for example a woman trapped in a man’s body, if she needs to just pee, perhaps using the stand up urinals only found in the men’s room would be best/convenient if the woman’s room is full; even if that goes against her gender identity.

Furthermore, a woman further along in her transition might still look male but still need the tampon dispenser or tampon disposal container, only found in the woman’s room. While the situation might line up with her gender identity, that fact is tangential to the purely utilitarian reasons for choosing that room in that instance.

If a husband needs to change his baby’s diaper, and for some reason the only changing table is in the female’s restroom, then I support him going in there to change the baby. It is just far more convenient than other alternatives.

Likewise, if his daughter (lets say she has cerebral palsy so she can’t reach the tampons herself) got surprised by her period and did not bring any extra with her, the father should be able to go into the woman’s restroom and bring her into the disabled stall and help insert them. Or even take her into the male’s disabled stall if the one in the woman’s room is full.

Now that you mention it, the topic does seem to have faded more quickly than I expected. I figured it for a wedge issue in November, but I guess it didn’t have the legs.

“It’s, like, [del]meta[/del] trolling.”

FTFY

What if I’m non-binary gender, which is lawful in Oregon now?

What if I’m a quantum gender, defined by the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle?

What if my gender is relative to my velocity?

This is so confusing … WHICH BATHROOM DO I USE ???

Fuck that … I’m going behind that there tree over yonder …

Er, transwomen generally don’t menstruate* (barring some intersex condition that allows them to be fertile that’s so rare as to be nonexistent, and I’m pretty sure thus far completely undocumented).

  • Sometimes post-op transwomen use pads because of weird moisture, but not really the same thing. There was also that experimental uterine transplant in Denmark, but that’s like, one person.

I don’t think we agree on the definition of genius.

Or they can just hold it until they are so full of shit that it spews out onto their computer keyboards, like **lance **here. :stuck_out_tongue:

Say what now?

I see your point elbows, sorry about my grossly inaccurate hypothetical, but some of the worse off forms of cerebral palsy do make it very hard to move arms/hands accurately.

I guess if a healthy daughter had both her arms severely broken instead, she would still need help inserting tampons, and generally getting cleaned up.

Just trying to find reasons why people would need to use the different resources in different bathrooms despite their sex/gender being different from the room they are making use of. Reasons that, if explained to others in the bathroom, those people would go “oh ok I understand” and go about their business without worry.

Anne Coulter says you should hold it till you get home.

Ted Cruz said that. Unless the Wicked Witch of The Right is echoing him.

Inasmuch as his post satirizes itself, inasmuch as it claims to avoid Poe’s Law by declaring that it avoids Poe’s Law, I think it’s fair to call his post “meta.”
