Conservative asked me my thoughts on a situation if a guy who says he's trans walks into a womens restroom but is lying and isn't actually trans (lemm.ee)

My thoughts is that it's a simple situation really. If they're harassing or assaulting people, the women will call the cops or something, simple situation and get the guy arrested. If he's not doing anything, it's nothing harmful. Apparently that's not a solid enough answer. What should I have said?

I’ve only been in a couple non-gendered communal bathrooms and it was a little odd, but only because I wasn’t used to it. The actual mechanics of it were basically the same as a normal bathroom. Go into a stall and do your business then come out and wash your mitts.

I don’t have a problem with it being the standard. I guess I wouldn’t think it would be a good idea for high schoolers because they’re always in heat.

Thats the thing right. You dont care whos shitting in the stall next to you. You're busy shitting.

This is (should be) true for any public bathrooms, no matter the sign on the door.

High schoolers have sex in gendered bathrooms to though

It's OK for high schoolers to have gay sex in public bathrooms, just not straight sex.
