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…

    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 average person isn’t scared about being mugged every time they go outside

      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.)
