      That is like the weirdest attempt at an argument I’ve ever heard. Somehow we have to make even this stupid fucking discussion about trans people and bathrooms bc apparently that is all some people obsess about. JFC.

      Do you let every stranger that asks to use your bathroom, use your bathroom? No.

      Do you let people who are guests in your house use your bathroom? Yes.

      Would a customer be the equivalent of a guest in a business? Yes.

      Do you consider trans people to be humans like anyone else? Yes.

      Simple. Mind fucking blown. 🤯

        Um the sign is literally about safety for all people with genders specifically mentioned. Bathrooms in public are relatively dangerous for trans people, hence the comment. Like if you want safety and respect for people, and then refuse to help them, you actually just want someone else to sort out the world you’re making more dangerous.

        Also literally yes I do, I live near a bushwalk exit that’s popular, and have had a few knocks on the door by people busting or thirsty and I do help them because I’m not a horrible human who wants to watch someone shit themselves or pass out from heatstroke. What else could I do? If I wont who will. Would it be nice if the council put in a tap, bins, and a dunny? sure. In the meantime I will treat people who ask for a trivial bit of assistance with the decency and respect they deserve.
