Guess what? People go to bathrooms to use the toilet, fix their makeup, fix their hair or just be alone. Normal human things like that, not to cause anyone any trouble…

Only predators go around thinking about attacking someone in a restroom. They’re self reporting, and we need to publicly call them out for it.
I wanted to comment something like this, yeah. They might not be the specific ones, but it is prevalent in their community so they they think it is that common everywhere. So projection is going on there for sure. Also, now that the potty police have arrived, I certainly feel less safe with random self-deputized cis dudes thinking they can barge in and start fights with random women.
Pretty much. The people that cooked up that attack literally think “If I had unrestricted access to the ladies room, this is what I’d be doing” and therefore that’s what everyone else must think too. These people can’t fathom anyone thinking differently than they do.
It’s why their main attack before the Epstein files started coming out was “Are you sure you want them to come out Librul? It’s probably mostly your faves in them!” and they couldn’t deal with the answer being “Why would I care about that?” because to the people at the top it was only ever something to attach Democrats with, they didn’t actually want them out. So obviously “The Left” thought the same right?
They don’t understand that other people have different thoughts than they do genuinely.
exactly. there’s much worse people to worry about sharing rest rooms with than trans women.
No joke, I’ve felt more safe in a room full of trans people than around 1-2 conservatives.
I hate how those fuckers see me as one of them and don’t hesitate to share in their bigotry just because I look like I’m one of “them”.
everything the fascists say is self report, and they tell us how to stop them too. they must be exterminated.
Okay, I hate the republicans too, and by coincidence, a lot of them are sexual predators, but this is some stupid logic.
“Only thieves think about mugging someone in an alley. If you meet someone who’s afraid to go out at night, report them!”
Muggers and victims actually, but assaults in women’s spaces are far more rare than assaults on the street (which are, in turn far more rare than traffic collisions.)
But xenophobic movements commonly assert their target undesirables engage in SA, and attack kids. Rapists and murderers. The old canard that gay men sexuality assault children more than the general population is still with us in spaces where white supremacist rhetoric is tolerated.
Although, social environments that seek to preserve hierarchy and encourage obedience present a fecund field for predatory behavior, since administrators will pressure victims to stay silent to preserve the reputation of the institution. Statistics are harder to find than those of muggings, but we have a long history of religious ministers and youth pastors in the news.
If our LGBT+ advocates have their way, the world will be safer for everyone.
If white supremacists have their way, upper strata will be able to prey on lower strata with impunity, and contrived desperation will keep the victims quiet.
Of course. Absolutely. Everything you just said, 100%.
All of that is true and needs addressing yesterday. None of it implies the people who say “<hate target du jour> are rapists and murderers” are rapists and murderers themselves. Those are serious accusations, and as much as I despise conservatives, I don’t like throwing them around without even a single woman’s accusation’s worth of evidence.
Republicans who have been so accused should be prohibited from campaigning until their court dates, and then thrown in maximum security for a very, very long time. But Republicans whose only crime is hate speech… well, they still deserve jail time, but not rape accusations.
You know full well my comment wasn’t meant as literally as you’re taking it.
The average person isn’t worried about these stupid thoughts in their daily lives, other than those falling for the fear mongering propaganda. Just like the average person isn’t scared about being mugged every time they go outside.
The people that constantly think and talk about the LGBTQ+ community being predators however do so because they’re projecting their own thoughts, that they know are bad, onto a group they can then marginalize and blame.
Okay, first of all,
the women I talk to online (men too if I’m honest) sure had me fooled, and second of all, is it that people who talk about LGBTQ+ people being predators/groomers (perhaps because they saw a trans person and were reminded of what Fox and Friends told them) can only be doing so because they themselves are rapists/pedophiles, or was my comment suggesting that that line of reasoning was flawed a ridiculous misrepresentation of what you said?
Again, I hold no love for these people. They hold a disgusting disregard for human rights and need to pull their heads out of their asses immediately. But I’m also going to stop short of calling them rapists based solely on the fact that they’re (baselessly) scared of getting raped. (We should call them rapists because women have accused them as such.)
