Sorry Maci, but no. Girls & women get to have their own bathrooms too. Girls shouldn't have to worry about dealing with their periods in the presence of boys and men.
Of course...the truth comes out...the real reason I’m in the ladies’ is so I can peek over the stalls and watch young girls remove and insert tampons.
This is where the social definition and function of the label of boys and men becomes complicated. What about Jamie Lee Curtis? She’s phenotypically male, doesn’t have a period, needed vaginal extenders in order to make love. Should she use the mens, under the logic from your argument, the answer is yes. Which is exactly why this is so silly.
As if what's going on in a guy's head is all that matters. (And why assume young girls are necessarily using tampons?) No Maci, the problem here is not that we assume you're a perv who wants to peep in on little girls changing their pads. It's that male bodies do not belong in female-only spaces. Because many of us are just not comfortable with them there, even the ones who are genuine sweethearts. And whatever drugs you use, whatever surgeries you've had, and whatever clothes you put on, you still and always will have a male body.
"jamie lee curtis exists therefore an unambiguous man like myself should use the women's" is not the argument you think it is.
and in your list you forgot children. children and how we relate to them is where the distinction between sex and "gender" matter. people who engage in "trans" behavior should have no form of communication with children whatsoever
You say I’m a man, my government issue ID says “F.” Not “TW” just “F.” Which one is right I wonder. I take the pills, I wear the clothes, this is already a pretty ambiguous unambiguity.
Women have periods therefore they deserve special status and attention isn’t the argument you think it is snowflake.
Trans women are pretending to be women. They are masquerading as women. They are and will always be male regardless of hormone meds and surgeries. Just because the government changes an M to an F does not change one's sex.
In some ladies rooms at times, there are women who are in partial stages of undress in the sink area- they spilled something on their blouse, the stalls are full and they're changing clothes. I have a strong preference that only actual women use public women's bathrooms, but there is no practical way to prevent trans women from using ladies rooms and once they outwardly look more female than male it may not be safe for them to go into a men's room so we women are stuck with trans women using ladies rooms.
when a person who is declared legally dead reemerges, do you become incredulous as to whether they are actually alive? do you think the person walking before you is a zombie? or do you recognize a legal fiction for what it is?
do you really think that the fact that society is idiotic in indulging your demands is going to sway my view?
Do you think a false equivalence and the fact that you’ve seen Night of the Living Dead is going to sway mine? Still using the bathroom I feel most comfortable in, sorry not sorry. You’re the one demanding I change my behavior. My mind, and the idiotic society’s is the one that must change.
I think individuals, regardless of genitalia will probably have to, as a practical matter, use the public bathroom of the sex they most outwardly resemble. Using a locker room may be different because the genitalia would be seen by others. People with XY chromosomes who have been through puberty should not compete against XX people in most sports where strength, and stamina count.

In your opinion.
No. Fact.
The girls swimming against Lia Thomas use tampons because pool pads are gross. That’s a fact.

All you can do is try. The profoundly mistaken often reveal themselves simply by extending the conversation.
