Why make it easier for them?There have already been cases of men claiming to be trans assaulting women in shelters and prisons and commiting acts of voyeurism in changing rooms and toilets.
LLMMLL wrote: » I think those cases deserve further analysis. For example, the cases in Target in the US posted earlier in the thread showed that the move to vender neutral changing rooms was not the deciding factor in predatory behaviour. There were changin room incidents before they became gender neutral and at least one of the incidents after they became gender neutral was committed by a man who already had a record of doing this.

Sure you yourself have already been insinuating that a woman is "discriminating" if she feels uneasy. Can't you see how this makes it easier for predators?

It's telling women to shut up and ignore their instincts so as not to offend. So progressive

Bootlegger wrote: » Brian? wrote: » Are you saying trans women are fake women? Yes. There are two genders, male and female. You are born one or the other and you can no more change your gender than change your race. You can undergo surgery and take on crude appearance of the opposite gender but you are still what you were born. No amount of new age feminism will change that.

Brian? wrote: » I’ve read many times about how liberal pre Christian societies were in Ireland. Women played a much bigger role in society, homosexuality was accepted and nudity wasn’t as much of a taboo.
The same can be said for pre Christian Italy and Greece.
Compare this with non Abrhamic societies in the Far East and the America’s. These societies were far more accepting of homosexuality in particular and placed no real judgement on nudity.

ceadaoin. wrote: » That's irrelevant. A woman feeling uncomfortable showering or being naked around an unknown male in possession of a penis is not the same thing and is not bigotry.
ceadaoin. wrote: » Yes because males do have breast tissue hence they can get breast cancer, same as females. Also some males develop breasts due to a medical condition. No male ever has had a vagina or a uterus. Does this really need pointing out?
