I, a cis woman, literally have been assaulted when trying to use a public bathroom because a TERF who had been handing out leaflets outside (it was a city centre public restroom) had decided that I must be trans, and thus my (rather large) boobs must be fake.

It's part of why I think it's so important for cis women to leverage the privilege we have in this context to speak out against transphobia. Experiences like mine underscore the fact that their rhetoric "we care about protecting [cisgender] women" is blatantly bullshit — all they care about is hurting trans women.

(Though it's also important to avoid coming across like I'm saying "transphobia is a problem now that it's affecting me, a cis woman!". If things were framed that way, then I would be reinforcing the transphobia that I seek to oppose. But figuring out how to be clear about your intention is just a part of learning how to effectively leverage one's privilege. I find that I'm most able to be clear when I use my experiences as part of a larger point about how feminism needs intersectional solidarity to be effective)

But yeah, I am legit scared of using public restrooms as a result of bad experiences. I remember when I first had a panic attack about this, following this bad experience (and a few other ones that were less bad, but still upsetting), and I was like "oh damn, do I have some capital-T Trauma about this?")

You know how they solved school shootings by making every student use those transparant backbacks? We can use the same material to make pants!

Every accusation a confession.

Damn, that's good. Saving it.

Haha I love these strips so much

I never understood it. You go in and lock the stall door, no one sees your genitals.

I guess in the men's restroom there are urinals, but you're not going to see anyone's dick unless you try to

Some people do weird things when they get a little power over others and are not actually that committed to the cause.

Reminds me of the controversy at the BAFTA. Everyone outraged that the guy the movie was about (I Swear, about Tourette) did a really Tourette thing, and lots of those complaining where from the social justice persuasion.

Especially with all the women they've recently named complicit on the Epstein list.

Women can be pedophiles and sexual abusers too. Especially when it comes to preying on someone younger and weaker than they are, like little girls. Sexual abuse is about power.

There have been a lot popping up all over. Even my hometown in the south had a college with coed bathrooms.

I came out of the stall to a very masc presenting person at the sink and was confused. Then noticed the urinals in the corner, and when i left i noticed the "unisex" next to the rstroom sign. Very cool imo.

Remember kids, its illegal to be a creep in public bathrooms no matter what your gender is. The sign on the door wont stop a bad actor and most people just have to pee.

I was once harassed by a male security guard while using a single occupancy porta potty. We need to stop making excuses for bigots.

Our apartment is very progressive so all its bathrooms are gender neutral.

Not to brag, but I have these in my house.

Those are a thing and are really popular in NYC. It’s just a line of individual private restroom with sinks in the hall :P (Ps: If that was sarcasm were too autistic to tell sorry)

Knock knock. Who's there?

It's me.

Wondering why you're not naked.

Show me your genitals.

Your genitals.

Show me your genitals.

Genitalia!

I hate to break it to you... but your friend is a transphobe. Prejudice doesn't always come with violence and slurs.

Singular, but contains multitudes.

Not real genitals, mutilation, what's to be expected for bigots who will never see any trans person as valid
