I want to start by saying it was really apt that the Toilet Training video referenced the Law & Order sequence, seeing as SVU has done so many episodes addressing trans issues historically, and how many of those episodes discuss reference the bathroom issue specifically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m glad that the Transgender People and Bathroom Access reading as well as the Toilet Training video address and tackles the folk theories regarding the safety of a bathroom. The whole idea that someone would argue that “if a trans woman can use the bathroom what if men disguise themselves as women” as if that’s not just assault and something that needs to be addressed on its own!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To imply that trans women pose a threat to cisgender women in restrooms is misinformation that preys on unfounded fears. I searched for news stories in which transgender women have assaulted cisgender women in bathrooms, coming across nothing but news stories detailing the attacks on transgender women themselves.\u00a0” – I think the BitchMedia article hit the target on the really sad irony of the bathroom issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personally, TERF ideologies absolutely blow my mind, but why call someone a TERF when you can just call them what they really are: Transphobic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
