More toilet hysteria.

A manufactured panic about trans people using the toilets they feel safest in, making them (and any other gender non-conforming individual) unsafe regardless of which choice they make, also makes it unsafe for parents to take their young or disabled children to the toilet if the child happens to be a different sex from the parent.

We need to bury these establishments in costly litigation that force these laws to be repealed. Ridiculous people.

I think unisex bathrooms would be fine too. Just have stalls you can't peep through and you're golden. Gender separated bathrooms make no sense anyways.

Even with stalls you can peep through I've never had anyone creeping on me in the bathroom, except kids

Kids are the real menace here, not trans people

Outlaw children from public places? Anyone else seeing a lot of upside there?

Didn't I just read an article recently that South Korea is rethinking its establishment of childfree spaces because so few people are having children the government won't be able to fund care for their old people?

Also, if children don't have the opportunity to observe adults interacting appropriately in public spaces, they become adults who have no idea how to interact appropriately in public spaces.
