The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You consistently frame your rhetorical gestures to emphasize the cis person who might be discomfited. But what do you think should happen if you have a trans daughter? Should they go to the boy's shower room? What do you think will happen to her in there?

-------------------

I would advise her to shower with the cis girls and not make a big deal out of it. If he/she doesn't, no one else will except perhaps the activists for him/her passing up an opportunity to make a spectacle. I would tell her/him that he/she is no less a person for making this choice but just being practical. His/her value as a person is not tied to being an activist and learning how to get along in society is an important skill.
