So I remember looking this tweet up back when this screenshot was first making its rounds and she clarifies in later tweets. Basically, what she means by "gender neutral bathroom" is the one person kind of bathroom that has one toilet and one sink, with a door to the outside as well as between the toilet and the sink. So yeah walking in while someone is still washing their hands is a bit weird tbh and I get how someone could see it as disrespectful. I guess man #1 couldn't hold it anymore lol
iirc she also said the lock was broken or something. Maybe she forgot to lock it and was making it up, idk. I'd believe her, I've seen worse than broken locks in bathrooms in gas stations in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah. Not sure using the bathroom is an “extra right.” Problem with saying you have to use the bathroom that matches the sex on your birth certificate is that who is checking? Like, do we just show state issued ID, or is some doing crotch checks?
I’ve heard anecdotes from more than one woman (birth certificate says so) that were harassed going into a women’s room because someone thought they looked a little too much like a man. It’s crotch checks, or just let people use the restroom.
Sex and gender are the same. No one will be doing checks. No one checks that normal men and women are using the correct bathroom. If you get caught you'll be in trouble though.
"nobody checks but if you get caught you'll be in trouble" ... caught by whom when nobody checks? Is there some chromosome sensor technology I'm not aware of? Or just cameras zooming on people's junk when they whip it out to pee? First of all that'd be a totalitarian police state so no thanks, I like having the freedom of not being spied on with every step I take. Second of all it still doesn't control for post-op trans people so it wouldn't even work. In fact even the chromosome sensor wouldn't work because of Swyer syndrome and just the fact that chromosomes are a bit more complicated than XX and XY.
Also, "don't use the bathroom" is a hot fucking take.
