Gender is a pernicious concept, one adopted and rejected by even the government when identifying biologically by genitalia. True story. Look it up.
Yes. The premise of gender is a disaster when it comes to an issue like this. That's the fundamental problem.Needed a 3rd topic on the front page about this?
Sure thing. I will, too.I'll poop next to anyone, bring it.
Yes. Yes we do. The fate of the nation depends on itNeeded a 3rd topic on the front page about this?
I think the titular argument was the argument. Can't imagine it getting past twenty posts, unless Henry Ford niggles.Pooping and politics is the wheelhouse for a lot of posters in here. This topic is good for about 20 pages IMO.
What feeling is that clause meant to instill into the reader?Gender is a pernicious concept, one adopted and rejected by even the government when identifying biologically by genitalia. True story. Look it up.
Great point. I meant to point out that even as progressive as our bureaucratic government has gotten -- and it's quite obvious they have == even they reneged upon the sloppy logic that tied identity up with biological sex. It was a heady moment in the nineties for radical, third-wave LGBT advocates, and even the government wouldn't withstand it in the later aughts. It's front-and-center in the Wiki argument about transgender stuff, last I read. The FDA allowed a "gender" identification, the government doesn't.What feeling is that clause meant to instill into the reader?
Yeah, it's colloquial for ###### where I'm from. My woo-woo. That's what the girls call it at times.Woo-woo?
We used to call it the baby hole.Yeah, it's colloquial for ###### where I'm from. My woo-woo. That's what the girls call it at times.
So, if you're born (or intersexed) with one, you use the women's room, if you identify, you go to the women's room as a male but as an identifying woman. That's the thread title, in a nutshell.
We need 13 separate bathrooms:
Cis Male
Cis Female
Trans M to F
Trans F to M
Cross-dressing M as F
Cross-dressing F as M
Cis Male (stands while wiping)
Cis Female (stands while wiping)
Trans M to F (stands while wiping)
Trans F to M (stands while wiping)
Cis Male (side wiper)
Cis Male (spits in the urinal before peeing)

I agree, but it's important simply because of induction and experience and biological determination.People sure do care a lot about stupid ####.
Son, I didn't understand a word you just said.I agree, but it's important simply because of induction and experience and biological determination.
Gender as a qualifier led to these public accommodation issues, and it deserves to be discussed as a function of language and definitions, IMO.
Substituting the traditional notions of "sex" for "gender" caused a movement from biological determinism to identity determinism. It caused this bathroom problem.Son, I didn't understand a word you just said.
I hope FBGs is keeping track of these thread title last all youze bastids should be appreciative.
Well, here's my two cents, since you didn't ask:Substituting the traditional notions of "sex" for "gender" caused a movement from biological determinism to identity determinism. It caused this bathroom problem.
For instance, if bathrooms are based on "sex," those people with penises have to use the men's room.
If bathrooms are based on "gender," then it becomes self-defined. Gendered people can use whatever bathrooms they want at their whim.
That's why the movement from determinism, i.e., sex, to identity, i.e., gender, made public accommodations law problematic.
It's also why the government does not ask you for your gender anymore, but rather, your sex.
I couldn't agree more. I think we're on the same page. My "pick the bathroom you dump in" was getting at sex reassignment.Well, here's my two cents, since you didn't ask:
Any individual has every right to look, dress, act, and feel however they want without the fear of persecution, belittlement, or intimidation. They have the right to take hormones, get surgery, and do whatever else they feel necessary to feel comfortable in their bodies and mind.
That being said...bathrooms, dressing rooms, locker rooms, etc. should be restricted to and defined by a person's sex. I'm speaking anatomically here. To paraphrase Johnny Cochran, "If the dong hangs low, to the men's room you go". At that point, you're no longer talking about just your comfort, but the comfort of others. Just as others respect your feelings, you must respect others.
I believe that's the point of the internet.People sure do care a lot about stupid ####.
Seems like it.VandyMan said:No reasonable adult is going to withhold his deposit because the dude in the stall next door has a woo-woo.
Hi.I think the titular argument was the argument. Can't imagine it getting past twenty posts, unless Henry Ford niggles.
Sorry about that. Won't mind deleting it if you wish.RA quoted that post an hour after I deleted it. Neat board. LOL.
It's really about this, and about time we had a debate about fluidity, choice, determinism, and the public sphere when it comes to accommodations.Nah. I really don't care. I was just amused by the glitches in the new board software.
On co-ed, is the question whether we care who hears our poops plop, or about the appropriateness of using a non-deterministic function to distinguish who should go where?
Seems like every futuristic movie does. Must be the way things are going.Should we just go co-ed?
This will hopefully make things more comfortable.Well, here's my two cents, since you didn't ask:

Yeah, I get it.This will hopefully make things more comfortable.
We should teach people good ways to enforce this law, too. "I'm sorry, I don't believe you belong in here. Please show me your vag."

Can we do a carve out for guys with scarves, man buns or Vespas?Well, here's my two cents, since you didn't ask:

That's a whole separate class.Can we do a carve out for guys with scarves, man buns or Vespas?
Can we include those stupid flat hats fancy boys wear.Can we do a carve out for guys with scarves, man buns or Vespas?
Your opinion is that we should restrict access based on an unenforceable standard?Yeah, I get it.
It's just my opinion. Is it enforceable? Of course not.
What's unenforceable about it? And at what point does unenforceability become a standard for the invalidity of statutory (drafted) law. See, you still think legalisms and judiciary extension of analogy. You forget the potential for drafting laws. If we want to, sure we can have the TSA at the bathroom.Your opinion is that we should restrict access based on an unenforceable standard?
