I can believe it's the origin, but it isn't a good rationale for continuing the practice. It's efficacy in deterring crime would depend a lot on where the bathroom is, but the construction design is ubiquitous. A high-res camera at the door would probably do more to deter bathroom assaults than an insecure stall panel could do. And probably offer more protection from a lawsuit too.
Yeah, if they're taking pills and snipping it off, keeping the masculine Bits seems to be more a narcissitic ploy than "fitting in". There's so much confusion around what trans are that meddling with how the public understands The Science is only going to backfire on the loudest and noisiest groups. Society is probably a decade or two from figuring it out. Maybe with more awareness, research data becomes more robust and less contentious...stuff like irreversable gender reassignment surgery should probably only happen with adults. Aftwerwards, it'll take another decade or two deciding how laws and norms are hashed out. That vocal group either doesn't understand the costs and logistical troubles a "third+ sex" or shoehorning the kitchen sink into 2 different sexes is, or they're so alienated and radicalized to the point where they're ready to blow it all up and dismantle a system that doesn't work for them. I don't think many normies will sympathize or cater to any of that or the attitudes given.
I think most people don't agree with any man pretending to be a woman. It's absolutely ridiculous to assume that people should have to adhere to that. Now, I do believe that the should be able to get treatment for their mental illness but that's a Healthcare issue. The fact that it's being introduced to children is despicable and the people doing it are ruining lives
There is an extreme minority where they're genuinely trapped in a different sex's body with brain physiochemistry and other characteristics that confirms it. In sports you have biological XX chromosomal women with higher testosterone levels without external drugs or doping. There are people born with intersex characteristics and also people who were unfortunately alerted for life early on, such as a doctor who misdiagnosed gender at birth and did physical changes. That's the natural world at work. So I'm fine with society grasping with the idea of multiple genders but I don't think it's necessarily two definite masculine and feminine "genders" as what some people claim The Science is saying. To me it seems more expedient to claim that one belongs to either a or b than deal with complexities of c,d, or e. The way things are approached now means transvestites and transexuals in a different bathroom is treated the same when reasons behind it are different. Personally I don't think anyone with unmatching genitalia should be in a different restroom. Unisex restrooms are either too costly or a natural bottleneck but that would be the better answer that debate. Trans competing in their gender categories is another symptom of shoehorning the kitchen sink into either/or categories. I don't even think the awards won matter to those trans in the long run. Likely more of a consolation prize of one moment of "being seen."
How does one get testicle cancer without testicles? It certainly wouldn't surprise me if hormone treatments did come with increased cancer risk.
1) Some of those "actual" numbers are way, way off. Non-religious people are actually about 20%, not 3%. Union membership is 10%. 2) It undercuts your argument pretty badly that this is the fault of "the media" whenever you have dozens of completely unrelated categories in that chart that show a similar gap between perceived vs. actual numbers. 3) I'd be willing to bet that this guy has the cause and effect precisely backwards. I don't see much about transgender stuff in the legacy media. On conservative media, I see it everywhere. Literally all day, everyday. Why? The same reason welfare queens, illegal immigrants, and abortion farms are always on the docket. Because it increases engagement. Angertainment is the business model. That type of outsized coverage does have some implications on how people perceive the world. Much the same way if you spend all day on social media you are likely to think everyone is rich and beautiful. Reminds me of the 70s/80s. Survey 100 housewives and most of them would tell you that Satanism is a real and prevalent problem because every little Timmy down the street is learning to sacrifice their cat to Lucifer via Dungeons and Dragons. Moral panic is what drives such perceptions way, way up.
"Illegal immigrants aren’t executives at Black Rock, your landlord is not a trans person. " Any time these two issues are brought up democrat politicians in unison need to say something along those lines. American voters need enemies to be motivated to vote. Make white working class people redirect their hate towards middle managers, executives and landlords from trans people and migrants.
