I’m somewhat surprised to find that other women are looking at strangers in women’s rooms closely enough to be able to tell that they “have a male body” even when they’re presenting as women.
If somebody comes into the women’s room wearing typically female clothing, carrying a purse, etc., I doubt it would ever cross my mind to notice if they have a prominent Adam’s apple or large hands or any other of the characteristics that allegedly distinguish transwomen.
If a buff hairy guy with a full beard or a bald guy in a suit and tie or some other distinctly male-looking person walks into the women’s room, I might ask them if they were accidentally in the wrong restroom. But except perhaps in North Carolina, I can’t see why a male-presenting person would be inclined to use a women’s restroom, whether they’ve got a vagina or not.
In all my years I’m sure I’ve unwittingly seen a number of transwomen in women’s restrooms, but I’ve never seen any male-presenting person in one. Nor have I ever seen a female-presenting person in a women’s restroom doing anything obscene or “pervy”-looking.
I concur with the skeptics who remain unconvinced by the claims that banning transgender people from their preferred restrooms is somehow necessary to prevent hordes of crossdressed Peeping Toms from infesting the ladies’ room.
To answer your question, they wouldn’t do that because gay men aren’t particularly interested in watching women use the bathroom. The slightly more serious answer is that anyone caught peaking under the stall will generally be treated the same. Lesbians have used women’s washrooms for some time without it being much of an issue.
I cannot help but think that the supporters of these laws believe that trans people are somehow perverse and so “our” “normal” women need to be protected from them. Either that or they think life is just like an 80s teen sex comedy.
It’s gotta be the first choice - notice how they seem completely unconcerned about transmen in the men’s room? It’s all about protecting the [del]chattel[/del] [del]walking wombs[/del] the women.
Who are too stupid to protect themselves or to see the difference between someone needing to pee and a pig (with my apologies to pigs). And who also instantly turn from their normal selves into sexy sluts who walk around in nothing but their lace bras when they are out of sight of their protectors…
We said it in the other thread and I say it again, what the fuck do those guys think goes on in the women’s? Plumber porn?
I’m fully convinced the men who come up with this sort of thing are absolutely certain the world centers around their sex drives. Of course women’s rest rooms and locker rooms are full of nubile naked vixens and jiggling titties because that’s what makes the men happy. The reality is far more likely to contain things like used tampons, farts, ratty underwear, stretch marks, the sound of asses being scratched, and various saggy bits.
I work in a retail store. The customer and employee bathrooms are one and the same. Trust me, nothing sexy going on in the Ladies where I work, and a lot that’s UNsexy.
I couldn’t care less who uses whatever washroom I use - whether I’m using a urinal or stall. Of course, I’m a tall adult male.
How about all bathrooms are unisex, with stools and stalls to the floor for everyone? Require a minimal number of washrooms for whomever wishes additional privacy - whether young children, trans folk in transition, or even someone subject to “stagefright.” Sure, there might be an increased wait for those facilities, but folk who want it can use it.
The actual number of transgender people compared to “family value” conservatives? I mean, it’s like 0.3%, right? While conservatives are what, 40%? 30%?
Let us be frank. Trans-people are first and foremost- people. Some small % of people are pervos. Thus, some small % of Trans-people are pervos. Pretty tiny number, I should imagine.
