The current movement for trans rights, which now centers on the right for minors to consent to “gender-affirming” surgery, seems to have grown out of the argument over access to restrooms and dates back to 2016. The main target was North Carolina and its bathroom bill, which inspired companies to withdraw from the state, prompted travel bans, and led Bruce Springsteen to cancel a concert there. In 2017, it made the news that the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, the $12.9 billion USS Gerald R. Ford, had no urinals. In 2019, Portland said it would spend $200 million to remove all urinals from the city municipal building.
Much as some have proposed that transgender athletes have their own sports leagues, some have proposed the addition of transgender bathrooms. There are already a lot of all-gender bathrooms, but transgender bathrooms? Touré says that’s a bad idea, as it would give people who want to kill transgender people an easy way to find them.
A trans bathroom is a bad idea—it's othering and exclusionary and also it's extremely dangerous for trans people bc it gives people who want to hurt or kill them a really easy way to find them. It's a solution where there's no problem—why can't trans women use the women's room? https://t.co/efNW7um10H

Why can't women have their own bathroom?
— Damsel in Dissent 🇲🇹 (@starboard_light) March 18, 2023
Because women shouldn’t have to negotiate the “issues”caused by men in order to use the bathroom. It’s pretty easy.

Why are you concerned about the safety of trans people but not concerned about the safety of women?
— "Blue Nose" Panda (@BlueNosePanda) March 18, 2023
Because other women don't want a penis in their bathroom.

—why can't trans women use the women's room?
Because they aren't women.

What's wrong with a bathroom being "exclusionary"? I'd like to exclude men's penises from the bathroom my daughter's using. WTF is wrong with that?

What about all gender restrooms where ppl of literally every gender can use them? The fact of the matter is that cis gender women & transgender women are 2 different genders. This is if you see it as there being 🤔 actually only 2 genders, but there is more nuance & complexity…

How do you feel about other places separated by sex for reasons of privacy and safety like locker rooms and sports?

We’re pretty sure we know where he stands on that issue.
Because trans activists decided around 2015 that they wanted public validation instead of normalcy and made it an issue.
Then predators began exploiting new gender-choice policies and forced parents to protect their daughters.
No one cared before they made it a problem. https://t.co/7TL0DdGkT6

So people are going to hang around outside transgender bathrooms so they can beat up anyone who comes out? We weren’t aware that the “anti-trans” crowd was that dedicated to the cause.
