Subject: Re: Can't They Just Leave Women Alone?
Despite how eloquently albaby argues for the poor downtrodden trans community, biological women have rights too that should be acknowledged, respected and protected.

Albaby is eloquent, and always makes you think. In your example, we really have TWO downtrodden communities. The trans community, and women. Both receive discrimination, and both are trying to achieve equality and fairness (women have been seeking that for a lot longer). I once read that just by being a woman you are acutely aware than about half the population (men) could pose a threat to you. As a male I can't really relate, but they are generally less physical and are usually the victims (as opposed to the perps) when a crime occurs between males and females. So, yes, we want them to feel secure and safe, and having a physical male (regardless of their inner psychology) in a locker room could affect that. Unlike bathrooms that have stalls, lockers rooms are generally open. That poses a different challenge.

I know 1poorlady would leave. I think 1poorkid wouldn't really care as long as the person was minding their own business. She is sympathetic to the downtrodden. Assuming she knew that the person in question was trans, of course. If it was just some random set of testicles she didn't know, she would probably report it to a manager. Which would then get into the legal hassles I described up-thread (calling cops, cops interviewing people to ascertain the person is genuinely trans, etc).
