Moving back to this thread:
They want to safely use the bathroom. If bathrooms are gendered, then that means they want to use the one that matches their identity.
Show me any trans people that you’ve argued with that specifically have argued that gendered bathrooms should be preserved.
What? What does this have to do with what I said?
I don’t believe that this is accurate. Further, publicly outing themselves by using a separate bathroom for trans people seems far more likely to attract violence and threats than using the one that matches their identity. The safest option seems clearly to me to be allowing them to use the bathroom matching their identity, which doesn’t require them to publicly out themselves every time they pee.
Maybe, or maybe not, but I don’t care. Considering that people could always be deceptive, and there was never verification, and people used the bathroom for their gender identity because they preferred to as opposed to because they were required to, then I think it’s likely to stick around for quite a while.
This changes nothing with regards to deception, or appearances, or enforcement. All of this was possible before and will continue to be possible.
