Comment on Understanding the Sex Binary

So men will stay out of women’s spaces then, right?

Gendered bathrooms are a stupid idea to begin with, no one wants to be in a big room with a bunch of other people going to the bathroom. I only ever use single person unisex bathrooms because they’re cleaner, they’re quieter, I feel safer, etc. I think most other trans people would do the same if they could. If trans people have no choice but to use a gendered restroom, it’s safer for everyone involved if they just go to the bathroom of their actual gender instead of their agab/sex/whatever word you want. But the long term solution that will make both cis and trans people happier is replacing all the stupid gendered bathrooms with private unisex bathrooms.

I loved a place that had urinals in one bathroom and private stalls in another. The wash area was for everyone.
All politics aside, it was just more efficient for everyone. It was faster as well.

Yeah I think that’s a great solution. If you’re comfortable going to the bathroom around other people then you can quickly use the urinal side and be on your way or if you can’t or aren’t comfortable you can use the private side. It’s the best of both worlds

Will men stay out of women’s sports?

I also don’t think gendered sports need to exist, just have people try out and be put into classes based on their performance instead of gender. The current system is kind of unfair to everyone because there are some sports that only have one gendered team in a lot of places. Like at my university I think only men can play rugby. I don’t know enough about sports to know how to properly implement a good system, but I’m sure it could be figured out and probably end up making sports more fun for everybody. Either way, strength definitely doesn’t completely follow gender or sex, my friends who are cis women could absolutely beat me up.
