You should give her a call to tell her she's a man and will have to use the men's room from here on out. Come to think of it, she also played women's rubgy. OMG! Men in women's sports! But in any case, looks like you can't answer the question either. It's funny - conservatives claim that they know the difference between men and women, but when asked, they can never give you a straight answer. Sounds like they are the ones who are confused. The important thing here is, which bathroom do they use? Because we gotta ban that shit. Because kids! Those things we tolerate the mass murder of, but we truly value their bathroom experiences. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Japanese that we put in prison camps were a miniscule percentage of our population. Doesn't make that OK. Gay people are a small part of the population. Still, laws that made being gay illegal were wrong. Black people were a small (not miniscule) part of our population in 1860. Didn't make slavery OK. Didn't make separate water fountains OK. Didn't make white-only schools OK. Although a LOT of bigots used that exact argument - "they have rights! Just different rights. There aren't that many of them anyway." If your argument is "as long as most people have rights that's fine" then you do not support rights - you support privilege. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they exist, then it is 'normal', and most certainly natural. You seem to have an issue with them existing at all, or at least recognizing that they exist.

Almost no one does it, so whose rights are we protecting anyway? Why not protect the rights of normal Americans, not the .01% of sickos who want to marry someone outside their race? And you still can't answer the question. I guess you don't know what a woman is. Fortunately, liberals do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add in transgender and the number climbs. For some people, until they know someone, they don’t matter. But you probably do know someone whose problems you’re dismissing. They just don’t want to tell you — it’s their business, not yours. Especially if they think you or someone else might weaponize it against them. How does it hurt you if a transgender male pees in your bathroom? Again, finding ways to keep people out is much cruder than finding ways to include them. Wendy P.

The original question was: "So is someone who is XY, and has breasts and a vagina, a woman or a man?" That person is genetically male - that is their genetic sex. They are phenotypically female - that is their anatomical sex. Their gender - whether they call themselves a man or a woman, what pronouns they use, how they present themselves etc - is what they decide it is. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there has to be a solution for this perplexing problem. Maybe portable privacy walls with suction cups we can attach between the urinals?

As the result of a right wing think tank's advice, a Pennsylvania school installed a surveillance window so conservatives could be righteously triggered by bathroom vs genital configuration issues.

But from what I can see, there are a lot more risk of that from straight people than trans people. Mark Foley - propositioned teen Congressional aides, forced to resign Joel Greenberg - sentenced for sex trafficking of underage girls Ghislaine Maxwell - sentenced for sex trafficking of underage girls Denny Hastert - sexually abused underage boys Jim Jordan - supplied underage boys for Richard Strauss to abuse, then kept allegations quiet Donald Trump - bragged about peeping on underage girls Roy Moore - cruised local malls when he was in his 40's to hit on 14 and 16 year old girls Matt Gaetz - under investigation for pedophilia and sex trafficking; quit government to dodge the investigation So if your goal is to defend kids, spending your time targeting trans people will result in you missing the actual criminals and enablers. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
