Have you ever looked down to see what the person next to you is peeing with? I haven’t, nor do I know why I should care. I’m pissing next to them, not fucking them.

[–] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

People like that do exist. Maybe not me and you.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Those people are weird.

Why should their delicate sensibilities be catered to?

Also, if someone was checking out my penis while I was pissing, that would be highly inappropriate, especially in a school.

Why shouldnt men be afforded the same privacy as women?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean like putting a divider between urinals? Because that already exists as an option. Then no one can look at your precious little Mr. Happy.

Trans men generally use a stall anyway, what with usually lacking what they need in order to use a urinal.

And plenty of cis men also sit down in a stall if they need to urinate.

So men do have that privacy. Even trans men. The problem here is that you don't think trans men are men.

Sometimes, and even then its usually paltry as an actual intrusion-prevention-device> The funniest is when there is a mirror directly across from the urinals, dividers dont do shit then lol

I know OP is about trans, but Ive not mentioned anything regardging cis/trans because imo it doesnt matter. everyone should have the same right to privacy in a bathroom, therefore gender neutral bathrooms make a lot of sense.

And plenty of cis men also sit down in a stall if they need to urinate.

True! But there are inherently less stalls in a mens room BECAUSE of the urinals.

So men do have that privacy. Even trans men. The problem here is that you don’t think trans men are men.

Again, this has nothing to do with trans, youre shoving that into my comments.

I have no idea what your issue is if it isn't about trans people in bathrooms. It sounds like you just want more stalls. Okay.

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Re-read my original comment

[–] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not about catering to them. It's about preventing them from being fucking creeps.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sorry... you're saying trans people should be barred from the bathroom of their gender because cis people can be creeps?

[–] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. I said nothing about that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Then I'm not sure what your point is.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True, there are pecker checkers out there. And they are the biggest fucking weirdos.
