Good! Republicans need to get over their obsession with trans children’s genitals.

I think it’s more about the discomfort for other children. I understand not wanting to use the boys bathroom but I can also see little girls being uncomfortable with it. I don’t see why we can’t give them their own safe space.

Your thought is valid.

But what I wanted to tell you is that based upon my kids, their friends, and other people's kids that I know and talk to - very VERY few of them give a single fuck about this sort of thing. Like surprisingly few.

It's refreshing, because it's truly no big deal.

I hear you, but that’s a very small sample size. One of my friends is a trans man, and even though he’s my friend and I’m the first person he came out to it still feels weird when he walks into the bathroom with me. I can imagine how someone that isn’t comfortable would feel. I don’t see any detriment to giving trans people their own space where they can be comfortable and let everyone else be comfortable too. Same goes for sports.

and even though he’s my friend and I’m the first person he came out to it still feels weird when he walks into the bathroom with me.

That’s a you problem, and it’s up to you to get over.

Why should a majority conform to a very small minority?

Look at this thread. Right here, right now, you’re the very small, very small minded minority.

We’re on lemmy, a predominantly bit farther than irl people left community. People got so mad about me saying it might be easier and better to give trans people their own space that they’re saying I’m on the wrong side of history while pretending that I hate trans people. I don’t hate trans people, I just don’t think anyone should be forced to be uncomfortable because of them.
