What I find weird about that is assuming any gender / sexual orientation is likely to make you an attacker. Gay men use male restrooms / lesbians women's restrooms. But it's not like straight men and women are all, "Gee I'm afraid to go potty because the other person who looks like me might be gay and attack me. I'm not wording it well I'm saying being 'different' from the norm doesn't make you a monster or attacker.

If a trans woman were to come into the bathroom while I was in there, I would just assume she needs to #1/#2. No more, no less.

The concern isn’t that people necessarily think trans women are any more likely to assault people. It’s that biological males are stronger than biological females, even if they’ve medically transitioned (unless they did so at a very young age), which means that if a trans woman or a man pretending to be a trans woman DOES attack a biological woman in a bathroom, it’ll be harder for her to defend herself. But the solution isn’t to ban trans people from using the bathroom they feel most comfortable using. The solution is to completely overhaul the way we do bathrooms so it’ll be a non-issue. My dad thinks all the stalls should have proper doors and open into an open area instead of a separate room. The sinks would be in this open area. Nobody’s gonna try anything out in the open like that (except people who would assault people out in the open anyway).

Interesting they never say anything about trans men. But it's all part of their misogyny and transmisogyny.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think the worry is about a trans individual. I think the worry is about cis males taking advantage of not being able to be questioned about why they are going to a women's bathroom, which is statistically the place where you will be attacked. Which is a huge problem that has nothing to do with the trans community and everything to do with a culture that encouraged men to victimize women.

In a world where sex offenders are liked more than trans people, I highly doubt someone would pretend to be trans just to become a sex offender

i mean, what are the chances of being attacked in the bathroo by anyone?

Why would a trans woman attack other people in the toilets? Just for fun? Where do people get these weird ideas?

In Loudon County, Va a trans student attacked 2 female students in the women's bathrooms in 2 different schools: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/10/05/loudoun-sexual-assault-stone-bridge/ When pulling up that link it happens far more than people realise.

my friend was stabbed in the throat and face by a trans athlete he was trying to help .not in the toilet in his place of work . left scarred for life mentally and physically . he was pronounced dead for 5 mins . female formally male .

It would be easier to make a third bathroom for the mentally ill.

Does kill really have to be censored

Yes. My edibles are for me. Also why would I want to chance going to prison just for the cheap giggle of imagining some little kid high? Which isn't actually funny.

2024 has been a hell of a year.

I got stuck in quicksand when I was 14 years old. That was the same year I got struck by lightning and bitten by a rattlesnake. Occasionally I just suddenly stop and think "Wow, my life has been so bizarre."

This is truely terrifying.

I have a state trooper friend. He said in a survivable accident, he has never pulled a dead body from a seat belt. But has picked up plenty of dead people, from the road who did not wear their seatbealt

Even when it isn't one of the parents, it's usually some other adult the kid knows: relative, priest, scout leader etc.

The winner-take-all system ensures that there will only ever be two parties that "matter."

A lottery ticket is a weird gift to give someone. It’s like saying, “Here. This has a 99% chance of being disappointing. I saw it and thought of you”.

Huh, good point!

They don't do well in cold water so folks in Florida are at greater risk than say me here in Washington state because most of our water is cold

Your kid is most likely going to develop an injury that will put them out of the sport before they graduate High School.

Hard work never made anyone rich. If that were true, the miners in Wales would have been multiple millionaires.

Way more likely to die in a car than on a plane.

I actually DO HAVE moderate to severe reactions to the COVID vaccines. My second booster put me at a 105F fever for two days. The ones since have only hit 103F. But do you notice something about that? I keep getting my shots.

We once went to Laughlin, not much to do at night. So I bit the bullet, gave my wife $20 (which she lost) and I played the Black Jack table with the same amount. Made out very well by estimating probabilities. Didn't play with my winnings. Once my initial $20 was gone, grabbed my chips to cash them in. Guy next to me said, "why are you leaving, you are doing really well". I said, "I just made a 500% return, nothing in Wall Street could get me that, I'm getting out while I'm ahead".

Ill take the 7% Losing my mom at just 63 was incredibly painful. It’s heartbreaking to think that knowing CPR could have made a difference. I wish everyone had the opportunity to learn this lifesaving skill. It could mean the world to someone you love."

Chinese influencer "farms" are a dystopian nightmare. influfamrs...d-jpeg.jpg

I feel poorly for our education system when a teacher uses poor their hearts out when the word is POUR as in pouring water!

They should. They should absolutely steel my ideas rather than keep pumping out some of the stuff they have been lately.

Don't forget the razor blade studded apples :^P

Same with kids in entertainment, like film and theater.

A pyramid scheme where each person has to recruit just 6 below them (which sounds fairly tame and reasonable) needs more people than the world's population after just 12 levels.

I feel I came pretty close. I've had the same best friend for over 50 years now. I might lose her in the next year or so due to health issues but it's been a good run.

The tRump said he would be a dictator if elected. It’s the only true thing he’s ever said.

ON the beach? Very low indeed.
