From a criminal's stand point, assaulting people in the bathroom isn't an ideal plan. One probably crowded escape route, very likely that someone interferes, and, if you go to a place where there are more opportunities to find your target, there are also a lot of other people who might remember you for all sorts of reasons.

Most assaults are going to happen at home, within a family circle. That's a statistic that sticks out, bar none.

Let's sacrifice the OP in the name of this being a gaming forum. :P

Yup, kind of a universal "reset", and then hopefully, some other species with more intelligence will rise to be the dominant one, or none will, and the planet can just stroll along it's peaceful way

I'm confused, are you making an argument against men and children sharing the same bathrooms, or just adults and children in general?

First I thought it was about the Rotherham case in Islamic...uh United Kingdom, where 1400 underage girls were sacrificed to "Asian" (read: Pakistani) pedophiles, because to do otherwise would be "racism".

And now we have this case where special snowflakes have to be the center of the Universe instead of being adult, adapt and take some consideration to children. Children are after all a much larger group than the special snowflakes.

Well, to be honest, generally speaking, if the child is young enough, most parents and guardians will accompany them into a bathroom (publicly speaking), due to miscreants everywhere....nothing to do with gender

I fail to see what the reported incident has to do with anything even mildly related to transgender issues.

Right, let's not go there... but!

Seriously, what were you expecting?

I'm joining you with my pop-corns to watch the show ;)

Please do read both on my original post & the one afterwards that I have absolutely no issues with trans people, ahve no reason to have any issues & have lots of reasons NOT to have any issues. I knew this would be turned into a transphobia thread, even though I stated very clearly this wasn't about trans people at all.

While that may be true, why do so called tolerant people tend to overlook that every time someone tries to discuss this in a way that doesn't involve trans people at all, someone else forced the issue back to trans gender?

That is not what worries me at all. Please do notice where the focus of my worry is.

Yeah... where predators have easy access to victims, with no one around who is capable of defending the victim.

My bad, I originally started that post off with something like "I presume you're implying this is a trans issue..." and then forgot to add it in again later.

All I get out of this is "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!".


On a more serious note, wouldn't it make sense for all larger public buildings to have separate bathrooms specifically for children? You know, so no adult strangers get to mess around with them, regardless of their physical or not-so-physical gender.

You do realise there's a cutoff point, right? Right about at the age 7? Are you saying a girl between 7-15 is capable of defending herself from a man who is bound to be taller, heavier & stronger than a grown woman?

Nothing. Nothing at all. I do not wish to discuss trans rights or phobia, even if I am quite supportive of their rights & have absolutely nothing against them whatsoever.

Don't get me wrong, I was quite aware this would happen. Everyone's so blinded by Social Justice that they fail to see the BIGGER problems.

Again I ask, not to you, but to those who always steer this in the wrong direction: Are the rights of ONE middle-aged man more important than the rights of SEVERAL YOUNG CHILDREN?

Never mind, I was too late... :)

As a childless male I've got it easy and the most i will expect is a very horrified FtM person questioning wheter it was all worth it, when confronted with the tipical male public bathroom. (The only male privilige I check on a regular basis is the feat to take a piss whie standing, hallelujah for that.)

I didn't even know bathroom laws existed, I always thought people would use the right bathrooms out of common decency and the extreme cases of creep would get a general public indecency fine. I mean it's not like theres a genital inspector anywhere making a thorough check before you're let in, if you "pass" as a trans person nobody will question if you're in the right bathroom.

People who have that problem are persons who thought transitioning would somehow turn their overweight, midlle-aged, flabby, balding, and a general "child molester look" bodies into beautiful girls. Why? because other people encouraged them anyways, feeding them bullshit just to feel "progressive". And now we have to accomodate these poor modern frankensteins somehow. I still have questions...

Great, let me fetch my sacrificial dagger.
