Would you state your basic area without being too specific?
Denver, CO. It used to be rare to see trans women. An occasional thing. Not a big deal. It’s now common to see men in makeup, crop tops, dresses. Not sure if they are trying to be women but it’s weird how things changed so suddenly. I don’t care if they want to dress that way but I do not want to share bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, showers with them.

Many trans women are also straight. They identify as lesbians. Not everyone who is trans is so due to gender dysphoria. For some, it’s a fetish. Autogynephilia.

Trans people are people. The assumption that they are all sweethearts who would never harm another is delusional and dangerous. There are good reasons why we have segregated bathrooms,etc. based on biological sex.

That's the opposite of the point I was trying to make. I challenging people that were all politically #metoo and then now have jumped on the trans bandwagon and are calling women bigots for not wanting dudes in their showers etc. It's a complete wth.

I agree. It doesn’t make sense.

Personally, I hate to see it but I have been witnessing Colorado become more and more Liberal. With Liberal politics, what you have stated above and in your earlier post will become more and more common place.

And as 2mres is pointing out ...

Where are all the stories about trans MEN trying to get into male locker rooms, showers, etc.? About these women who think they are men, I mean, why aren't they demanding to be transferred to male prisons?

If it's all so safe and kumbyah?

Trans activists who demand to invade females space is an attack on the overall safety of women. It's a big picture issue that people refuse to see because they want to pat themselves on the back for being good virtue signalers.

I don't look closely at anyone in the bathroom. I definitely don't do a genital check. So probably a trans woman has shared a public restroom with me at some point without my knowing. I know I've hosted a trans woman in my home overnight and survived.

You know the issue is not whether we adults run into these situations but if children under 18 are forced into these situations.

We adults can handle most situations.

You cross the line with Children. The poll is geared toward the wrong group.

The poster you responded to said the fears were over hyped. She wasn't referring to something that actually happened. I would be against anyone being forced to shower publicly like high school.
