She announced she would introduce article of impeachment 2 weeks ago. Preemptive strike.
My guess is that it is a far smaller number than that. IMO, it’s such a small issue for the response it got, which I think is irrational.
I’m an ideal world, we could just have bathrooms for everybody, but in reality comprises are made. I accept that a gay man may be eyeing me up in the locker room, it restroom. It’s just the way it is unless we go to individual bathrooms.
I don’t know.
One of my very favorite episodes ever.
I’m not sure how much waste a commercial reactor would generate in a year for the financial cost, but we are getting really close to having fully reusable rocket systems and I’m pretty sure Falcon Heavy could launch a significant amount of waste.

Interesting banter including a momentum answer (#19) that @cyclonengineer might enjoy.

Its never made sense. The idea that people will transition to the opposite sex so they can sneak in the bathroom is insane. “What’s keeping pedophiles from doing this?!”

Nothing stops a pedophile from coming into a bathroom already. These people act like bathrooms are Fort Knox. If I want to go into the women’s bathroom at wal mart why spend years transitioning to a woman when I can just walk right in now? What’s the number of pedophile attacks happening in restrooms and how does our current restroom setup work to combat it?
-
Likely all of us have pissed in the same room as a trans woman and never known it already. And somehow we survived
-
Women especially openly use the men’s restroom all the time at sporting events and concerts. And somehow they aren’t raped in there all the time and somehow men pissing aren’t raped by them.

She did call this out. She’s a Qanon supporter not quite sure we should expect anything else.
the idea isn’t that someone transitions to go into the other bathroom. The idea is some smartass highschool kid says “Today I feel like a girl” and goes into the girls’ locker room. At least that seems to be their worry. You can’t stop that since gender is fluid blah blah blah.
Yeah I’m going to guess this fear is almost entirely unfounded. People aren’t doing this in any type of large number. Schools aren’t fearful of this.
But the reason I brought up the bathroom part is because when some of those bathrooms were going unisex those were the arguments you heard.
I can hear the argument though. People aren’t committing school shootings in any type of large number, blah blah blah. If it was your daughter, blah blah blah.

We are just saying the probability of a woman getting raped by a trans woman is incredibly low. Them being in the bathroom isn’t a risk worth taking seriously. It is more risky to let a boy go to the bathroom by himself. Trans woman are generally on the receiving end of violence and rape.
No one is talking about a woman getting raped. We are talking about a teen boy going into a girls’ locker room to catch an eyeful and whip out his dick for shits and giggles. That boy wouldn’t live through the night where I grew up.
Who here a daughter and wants boys coming and checking them out in the bathroom, or having to compete with them in sports?
What in the hell is wrong with you drones? There is not one thing sacred anymore or else you are are a bunch of derelicts.

I don’t think that has changed much.
I mean, laws can’t dictate morality. People break them all of the time. Hence the fundamental point of contention against further gun laws, right?
So if a kid were going to do something like that, he would have done it anyways, and IMHO, would also get an ass beating for it regardless of laws against ass beatings too.
Doesn’t that seem like pretty practical, realistic thought?

Do you truly think that is going to magically happen all the time now? Or are we just saying oh man sounds like that WILL happen constantly with no real reason to jump to that.
I used to work in schools and still work with kids. It isn’t like it was when many of us went to school. I’m going to guess essentially nothing changes. Boys aren’t going to all of the sudden rush into the girls bathroom to stare at them just like unisex bathrooms in places haven’t created any issues and some have been around for decades.
Shit boys have actual porno at their fingertips and some of them already have naked pictures of girls their age at their own school. Far more than you want to imagine. You’re nuts if you think they are risking reputation and ridicule for this when they don’t have to. Also a lot of pushes for respecting women more, consent, etc. That isn’t lost on high school boys. They are horny, but they aren’t all unchained animals incapable of being smart. And like I said they have access to far better stuff than sneaking a peek at Megan’s boobs.
Am I dumb enough to say nationally it has no chance of having one incident? No. But I’d be absolutely shocked if this was an issue you hear about 5 years from now. Everyone flipped shit over places that changed their bathroom rules a few years back and somehow we didn’t see massive amounts of trans rape in the bathroom. Pedophiles didn’t go through sex changes so they could rape kids in a bathroom.
Nothing stops a boy from going into the bathroom today and whipping his dick out in front of girls in a high school bathroom. If anyone thinks that this is going to lead to a massive amount of that happening all over I guess it’s just agree to disagree. But I feel very confident in that not being an issue at all.

I appreciate the insight. Good to hear from someone with direct experience of the regulations. I do, however, have a bone deep scepticism of regulatory agencies that are capable of defining their own administrative purview. They may be justified in what they wish to administer, but I’ve always thought that the legislature should be defining their purview.
The administrative agencies go a long way to explaining the current irrelevance of the legislative houses.

Oh, they can. The relationship between popular morality and the law isn’t as cut and dry as we’d suppose. Ideally, the law reflects a populace’s morality, but it can often play a role in shaping it too.
