Bathroom and sports gender segregation should be abolished - Lemmy

I’ve never understood why bathrooms or sports are segregated by gender. Makes absolutely no sense to me and I’ll go to my dying day believing it’s nonsense.

Please elaborate.

Fulfilling bodily functions when no harm comes to another should never be criminalized. My house does not practice segregated bathrooms, and when I compete with my household, we are on the same playing field regardless of gender.

This obsession by conservatives of how people present themselves is deep rooted internalized repression and they lash out and cause real lasting harm to others.

I don’t think it’s strickly a conservative thing to prefer not to poop next to the opposite gender.

Can you elaborate on the your opinion about mixed gender sports?

Sports isn’t just about physical. There is ability to operate as a team. I suspect that mixed gender teams will be superior to mono-gender teams. Diverse perspectives, with proper structure to organize and make use of those perspectives and execute well should always rise above a mono-culture.
