Quote:The episode consists of Cartman claiming that being transgender should give him the right to use the girl's bathroom.

 

The situation under discussion consists of someone who is/was a boy claiming that being transgender should give him the right to use the girl's locker room.

 

At the very least, the episode has something to do with the situation being discussed. Saying that nothing is similar is intellectually dishonest, rj.

Actually, it really doesn't. Not in this situation anyway. The transgirl in question has identified as a female for over four years before asking to use the girls locker room, and even then she was denied (as she should be). In the South Park example, Cartman literally put on a bow then walked into the girls' restroom. That would not happen in reality. A boy who showed up to school one day wearing a dress would not be allowed into the girls' restroom and locker room right away. The transgirl in question here has been living as a girl for four years, and she still wasn't allowed to use the girls' locker room. Your hypothetical Cartman scenario just doesn't work and isn't applicable to this situation because it would never happen.
