So I read the whole article. They focused on wanting a more inclusive design of bathrooms to accommodate trans, non-binary, and disabled people. They argue that trans people are not safe in public restrooms.

It’s a boring debate where white Tims are pretending to be oppressed because other men are attacking and abusing black TIMs in bathrooms. Where Jessicx with short blue hair feels like women who glance at her in the bathroom equates to physical violence.

The way I see it is that these types of articles pretty much are just a way to get men to use the same bathroom with women. Maybe someone out there can make a decent argument for unisex bathrooms. But this article does a weak job at it, imo.

If men are not safe from OTHER MEN in their bathrooms, then that's a problem men, and only men, need to solve. This does not involve women at all, and women are not human shields to protect men from other men.

TIMs: "We can't use the bathroom with men because men are so violent." Women: "We can't use a bathroom with men because men are so violent." TIMs: "I don't get it." YES. YOU. DO.
