One of the stupidest arguments produced by trans activism, in a field exclusively of stupid arguments, is “I have gender neutral bathrooms in my home” and therefore all women only public spaces should allow men in them.
They seem to think this is the ultimate “gotcha” but it isn’t. It doesn’t even stand up to the most basic scrutiny. Of course, private bathrooms in homes aren’t open to the public, bla bla bla.
But there is another element to this that highlights just how stupid the argument actually is:
Before public bathrooms for both women & men were even invented, people had bathrooms in their homes. The issue was they needed bathrooms in public for when they weren’t in the home.
First, it was men’s bathrooms, because men were out in society. However, only having bathrooms available to men caused problems for women. It was called “the urinary leash” because women were kept at home (or very close to it) due to the fact there weren’t available facilities for them in public. This was actually a women’s rights issue, connected to women participating in society and not just the home.
So, women only bathrooms were campaigned for by women and, eventually, the right was won. All was working very well, women’s bathrooms were a completely non controversial issue for 100 or so years. And then men started to claim to be women and some of the stupidest people on the planet not only took them seriously but expected women to just give up women’s rights - including women’s bathrooms - to accommodate them.
At no point were these men expected to campaign for their own specific needs and get them on the merit of their argument. They were just given what belonged to women. The irony being, they weren’t being treated like women at all! Society had never just given women anything, not bathrooms nor rights.
So, once again, women only bathrooms were campaigned for by women and, eventually, the right was won again. In a sane world, that would be the end of it. It would be insane to just continue repeating history expecting a different result, wouldn’t it?
Now, the men who claim to be women had choices:
1. Do nothing but complain.
2. Continue to invade the women’s bathroom expecting women to do nothing about it.
3. Use the beloved “gender neutral bathroom” at home.
4. Use the men’s bathroom in public on the basis that they are in fact men.
5. Create the stupidest “gotchas” of all time in lieu of an actual argument.
6. Campaign for their own spaces to accommodate their own (supposed) needs.
They did everything but number 6, proving once again, beyond reasonable doubt, that trans activism really is that stupid.
