then shouldn't lesbians be also banned from women's restrooms?

Nope. A person of your own sex taking an unwanted look at your parts may be a weird and possibly uncomfortable moment, but it's not the same as an unwanted look from the opposite sex.

When you are in a public restroom and stand at an urinal as a man and another man next to you takes a short look at what you have, it's not even something where you would conclude that he has to be gay. (Sidenote: I haven't come across any stories that gay men shouldn't be allowed in men's restrooms.) But if a woman walked into the room and checked the men at the urinals, it would be a very different situation. For added effect, imagine that this hypothetical woman is unattractive.

Now you appropriately reverse the situation for the women's restroom and it should be easy to tell why lesbians aren't a problem while men are.

Ok maybe you're right, maybe you're less concerned with voyeurs of your own sex but by that logic trans women should go to the women's restroom because you know they look more like a women than a men.

btw I once heard that one of the most used urinal designs was made by a french artist, he made the little barriers between the urinals exactly so high that he could still see the other men's penis.

It's the thing I pay no attention to anymore. I only care about the biological sex. So you're either man, woman, tran man or trans woman. That's it. So if you go through a sex change operation or are transsexual then that's the only distinction I see. I use pronouns based on biological sex and I've given up on trying to even talk about gender. He and she are the only individual hi,an pronouns I use and they if I don't know the sex of the person. I won't get into the stupid 70+ genders nonsense



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

This particular string of this thread was about a student who did nothing more (or not much more) than claim that he considers himself female and people around him aren't even sure if he's serious about it. Of course there are cases where it's much more complicated to draw the line, but in this particular case I would say that the guy should go to the boys' restroom.

I don't doubt the validity of the history of urinals.

Well i guess time will tell if he was serious. Going be clothes would be a good rule of thumb in such cases, dress like a girl, go to the girls restroom if you like, dress like a guy, go to the boy's restroom if you like

so for you clothes determine who is man and who is woman? would that be a fair conclusion?

Most transgender persons I've seen or met dress very cliche masculin or cliche feminine, so yes this rule of thumb will probably cover 90%.



As a bisexual individual, I'm supposed to be part of this LFBTQJXBEKUV+ "community", but I personally believe that the entire gender talk is ridiculous.

I will never understand "genderfluid" individuals who fluctuate between genders depending on how they are feeling. Nor will I ever understand those who utilize "they/them/their" pronouns when referring to themselves. These kind of people are struggling to love themselves and the bodies they were born with, and as a result all these bullshit of "I feel like a man today, but maybe in 10 minutes from now I'll be a woman. Tomorrow I am multiple genders at once, and next month I'll identify as a hydra from ancient mythology because I CAN and I FEEL THAY WAY, so you should address and acknowledge me as a monster from ancient mythology if I feel like one".

No, there is three options: Man/Woman/Other (please specify).



I don't think Gender is a thing.

We have biological sex's. Men and Women and there are intersex disorders.
Men and Women have biological traits that make certain personality traits that can be generalised but not 100%

Personalities are a spectrum.

I'm not a Male because I 'feel' like a male, I don't even know what that means. I have a personality and traits that's me and I am a biological Man.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

You guys break the thread? I can't see the last page.



What about the people that are born with a penis and ovaries, where do they fit in?
