I would like to jump in on this. As a person who secretly has severe gender and identity issues no one knows about I seen both sides of this. Now being the pragmatic person I am do not identify as anything other than my birth sex. Since I choose to live with whatever fate has miserably gifted me. Now I have known openly trans people that are the biggest snowflakes on the planet. Who have in the past nearly got me fired since they had a victim mentality. These people hurt the perception of trans people. Now a lot of trans people prefer to indentify as a certain gender. I generally try to respect that. I don't understand why this request seems to sometimes highly offend so many people. As far as the bathroom/changing room goes is another story. Since this often creates an akward situation for both the trans and the cispeople. For example trans even if permitted to use a school locker room of thier choice often do not feel comfortable changing with other cisgender people. As well as that if say they still a girl doesn't want to be seeing a transgirls junk. Type of situation. It often also opens up a lot of sexual harassment on both ends. I in fact been in places where they tried this and this is kind of how it turned out. Which is why some suggest having separate changing rooms.
Yea frankly its just dangerous. My boss is a fucking that with half a brain cell but thank God the fact im trans us under a dont ask dont tell policy (not official) irs fucking wonderful. We don't talk about it it doesn't get brought up. Im terrified ill get a new job and next thing I know we're sitting in a trans awareness meeting signaling me out.
But point being yea even back in the male rooms I changed in the bathroom stalls. I do the same in the female ones. Its just better that way and for me personally more comfortable.
As towards a separate one if a place does that I think they should have gender free ones meaning men women or trans can use it. Obviously keep the male/female ones but if a third option why signsl the trans out let anybody use it. Idk feels safer in my thoughts.
are you pro trans or anti trans?
