Quote:And yet you negate the feelings of men or women that may feel uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with a person of the opposite sex.  You continue to fail to acknowledge that there are sick individuals who will take advantage of your ideal of compassion.  The concern or fear that some perverted individual in a dress claiming to be a transgender will slip into a woman's bathroom with a cell phone to take photos and post them on the internet or even worse is of no concern to you because transgendered people must be accepted at all cost.  You might want to consider that compassion works both ways.

 

Okay.  Why isn't this happening then?  Some of these laws have been in place for decades.  The fear you have is what "might" happen.   But it isn't. Why is that? Is it possible your fears or concerns have been planted by, I don't know, paid lobbyist groups and conservative media outlets who have been perpetuating a "what if" that is not occurring? Women and kids have been attacked in bathrooms since the invention of bathrooms.  Because men are violent.  They commit 90% of the violence worldwide.  If we are being honest, if you were in a room with your female family members, 9 of your straight male friends and a trans person, you would be wise to be afraid of one of your straight male friends.  Because roughly 1 in 10 has it in them to inflict some degree of violence upon women whereas trans people have a virtual zero on the scale when it comes to being aggressors of violence.   Feel free to challenge any of the facts I listed in the post above which are clearly numbered if you would like to explain why these "concerns" or "fears" are rational.
