knighttof3: But we will bend over backward, because we are nice heterosexual men and women, and put her in her own prison wing, and let her have her own bathroom (or temporally [sic] exclusive use of men's room).
I am not sic :)
"Temporally exclusive" was my shorthand for saying either men or trans women can use the restroom but not simultaneously.
BTW this is what Boy Scouts do now. Either kids or adults can use a shared restroom, but not simultaneously (even if it has multiple urinals and stalls). Not a perfect measure, but better than nothing.
"In California, inmates have filed at least 321 requests for transfers based on gender identity since the law, SB132, took effect, but the Corrections Department has granted only 46 of those requests."
These stats prove nothing. Maybe the other 275 that were denied were posers. They are criminals.
In any case, California should have granted zero such requests, and instead moved the trans women to their own cells. Or two to a cell, as the policy may be.
"As for athletic competition, upthread we established that 50 out of 480,000 college athletes are transgender and 15 transgender athletes compete in high school sports."
That doesn't make it right. If you will trample on my testicles only for 3 seconds, it will still be painful.
How many George Floyds were killed compared to the population of all Black men in US? Numbers are not the issue here.
"States are passing laws that ban transgender students from using bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity,"
Good. Some common sense.
Having said that, the bathroom issue is a minor one because bio women go in pairs :)
The real problem with the bathroom is potential misuse by "normal" (sorry, sorry, men-like-appearing or whatever TF youy want me to say) men to sneak into women's bathroom and claiming to be trans. Especially teenage students.
BTW are all trans women gay (or straight, WTF do you want me to call a cross dressing man who likes other men)?
Can they be trans and still like bio women? IN which case, giving them free access to Ladies' restroom is asking for trouble.
