Mmmh, Still feels like you're simply avoiding the questions about some the issues I'm talking about.

When it comes to sports for example, hardly anyone would have a problem with the general existance of unisex leagues - but if you seriously wanted to eliminate gender segretation, ONLY unisex leagues would obviously be allowed. And in almost all sports, there are hardly any women among the world's absolute top players (which is actually interesting, because that even holds true for sports like darts or chess where men do not even have any physical advantage). So completely eliminating gender segregation in sports would practically result in women more or less being excluded from professional sports. Not because they would be forbidden from participating, but because extremely few women would be able to compete with the top players.

Maybe I had not expressed myself very well. Saying Neymar is better than my girlfriend in soccer is not sexism. Picking the best is not sexism. Sexism is a prejudiced form we perceive things. Like thinking that a woman cannot drive just because she's a woman. That is sexism and that's not true at all. But realizing Sharapova plays better than me (I love to play tennis) isn't sexism. It's just true. Of course she would get higher payment. And if we only have a unisex football league, for example, of course that will be more men than women. That's why I'm totally against unified leagues. It wouldn't work not because of sexism, not because a prejudiced form of view, it wouldn't work because of the natural differences between genders. Same reason why a transgender man shouldn't compete with a woman, because in biological terms, he's still a man and that would be unfair.

That.

It's good to see one or two people have an understanding of the problem.

Personally, I don't really have a problem with true trans people using the washroom of the gender they have transed to.  The problem is in the wording, saying a person can use whatever washroom they "feel" is appropriate.   Especially in schools with potentially vulnerable children.

I went to a large school and there were very few people who were trans then, or later in life. There were, however, quite a few sexually deviant boys who would happily say they feel like a female to gain access to the female washroom.  Saying you "feel" like a different gender shouldn't be enough.  You should have to be actually living as your new gender.

And obviously private washrooms are the best option for everyone, but barring that female washrooms should always be a place that is secure from weirdo males.

1. The Sun is dangerous to the skin, so there is a valid reason to where something at the beach. In regards to bikinis, yes it doesn't really protect from the Sun, but bikinis haven't even been around for 100 years.

2. There's also the problem with sanitation. I guess that you could be in the house with no clothes, but with nothing in between say the furniture and the genitals, it is not good for sanitary reasons.

I seem to recall reading an article a year or so back about the transgenders in bathrooms issue and the fear of predators. Turns out a study showed people were more likely to be sexually assaulted by a Republican politician than they were to be assaulted by a transgender individual.

Bathroom stalls are like bedrooms to me. If it isn't happening in mine I don't care who is in it or what they are doing.

Damn, that's exactly the example I wanted to give in response.

VGPolyglot, I'm sure you actually know perfectly well that protection from the weather is far from being the only purpose clothes have. Hiding the genitals is a mayor purpose, probably even more important than protection from weather. Just remember that the issue of being naked is so important to humans that it's a major topic already in the first book of the bible.

And of course, clothes also serve a number of other purposes as well.

But hey, if you want to convince all women out there that it's just completely irrational to wear any clothes in summer, be sure that I'm completely supportive!

Women have physical disadvantages and advantages, so some sports would result in women doing better probably, and others would result in them being worse. At least giving them a chance would be better then only being able to particpate in sports which are largely overshadowed by the male counterparts.

You mean bathrooms are seperated by sex. Gender is all about identity, sex is about the biology.

that was the law back then and has nothing to do with open mindedness.
