Just a reminder that you can sue for just about anything. That doesn’t mean you have a chance in hell of winning.

Simple protest is just smash urinals or pour something like concrete into them. After a couple repairs, they will just start replacing them all with stalls… then there will be no difference between bathrooms.

Anyone who doesn’t want to share the bathroom is free to go shit in the woods, as nature intended.

Burn_The_Right ,

Why are we letting conservatives into public restrooms? They are notorious child-rapists and are known to attack innocent people in bathrooms if they don’t like the look of them.

There is no room for conservatism or other hate-based ideologies in a modern civilization.

Cab I, a cis person, sue for being required to share a bathroom with other cis people?

I don’t want to share bathrooms, thank you. That’s a violation of my religious beliefs (in my religion, pooping is a sin).

A lot of schools rip the doors off the stalls so everyone can see you pooping

None of this would even be a problem if bathrooms had stalls that went floor to ceiling, and so much of why that’s the case boils down to people thinking it’s important to police what people are doing in the bathroom. I’ve heard people say the bathrooms can’t be private for all kinds of things including this, drug use, sex, interpersonal violence, homeless people taking sink baths, and more.

Like it’s actually my job to watch people shit and piss sometimes for various reasons, even when they don’t want me to, but I have to have a specific reason that applies to behavior that specific person has already done or explicitly threatened (usually suicidal behaviors, hidden weapons, or somebody just being too bull-headed to recognize that they need help walking to not smash their head into the porcelain throne) and I don’t even like doing it then because of how much of a massive pain in the ass it is for everyone involved and it’s just absolutely wild to me that there’s people out there doing it more or less for funsies and often specifically to children. There was a gym teacher at my highschool that made it their mission to stop the saggy pants fashion trend that would go around tugging on boys pants to see if they would just fall down. Thank god our admins were smart enough to realize they couldn’t just let a teacher wander around ripping kids clothes off in public (although I guess in private would be even worse) and quickly put a stop to that.

Its even a disability thing, people will police people using the disability stalls not realizing that some people who can otherwise walk need the handrails to sit and raise from the toilet without falling, among other inobvious disabilities (I’ve got IBS, I’m taking whatever stall is free first and if it’s the handrail one so be it; I’m a human being who deserves the dignity of not shitting myself in a Walmart). This isn’t to invalidate the unique struggles of the trans experience (I’m starting to look masc enough that I’m getting weird looks in the bathroom myself), but like. LET HUMANS SHIT IN PEACE 2k24!

TBi ,

Agree. Some people just need to mind their own business. Unless someone is getting hurt, then just mind your own business and don’t get involved.

I remember a woman entering a men’s bathroom before because the queue was long. The only reason I was upset was because if a man did they same he may get in trouble.

Apytele ,

At least it rarely happens that way, most men can get through the urinals pretty quick, I have to stop and clean the seat and everything.

CoolMatt ,

2k24 is the same number of key presses as 2024

Apytele ,

But less spoken syllables when I read it in my head.

CoolMatt ,

Sure, and same if you say it to someone too

recapitated ,

The American right: “I am so aroused by pissing and shitting and farting that I cannot pee downward if trans children are in earshot of me!”

recapitated ,

Okay fine, fine, the boys don’t have to share a bathroom with trans girls anymore.

Sounds a bit like the ol’ ‘gay panic’ defense.

That’s exactly what it is. “These children could be raped by a trans person!” Or they could be raped by a cis person. Of their own gender or another gender.

In general, it’s not hard to find a time to sneak into a bathroom when no one’s looking. It’s not like they’re usually in some prominent place.

CaptainSpaceman ,

Sounds like Jim Crow era segregation

JovialMicrobial ,

Next up trans and cis waterfountains.

Ugh it made me cringe writing that. Hateful people ruin everything

hperrin ,

Can trans students sue to avoid sharing a restroom with cis classmates?

LarmyOfLone ,

Can students sue to avoid sharing a restroom with bigots if that is against my religion?

nifty ,
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Can the trans students sue for being harassed and bullied? That would be great

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

My daughter has a very close trans friend (who the school forces to use the girl’s room anyway). A girl was being a bigot to him in the bathroom, so he slapped her. Guess who did not get in trouble?

Hint: not the openly queer one.

cynthorpe ,

Can I sue to avoid sharing a bathroom with anyone?

theherk ,

This seems to have some merit.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I would support this lawsuit. With an added provision that if it must be a shared public bathroom, if someone talks to you for a non-emergency reason: 10 years to life. Especially if they try to have an actual chat. That’s just felonious.

cynthorpe ,

Can we have eye contact be a gross misdemeanor?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely.

stoy ,

It is amazing how few problems people have that they have the time and energy to spend on non issues like this.

ChaoticGoodHeart ,

America is a nation full of people with nothing to complain about, complaining about nothing.

stoy ,

Nah, I am be a Swede, but I can definately see that Americans have stuff to complain about.

The problem is that the right people are complaining about the wrong thing.

rockSlayer ,

Cool, they want to return to separate but equal. Fucking weirdos.

MegaUltraChicken ,

I don’t think they’re interested in the “equal” part at all.

CaptainSpaceman ,

It never was equal, tho. Thats just the mantra they used to justify the segregation
