Do fathers of babies just walk into women's bathrooms and change their baby's diapers in there? I could've sworn that the only time this may happen is if the bathroom is a family bathroom no?

Just like u/lefterfield, I have never once seen this. I've never even heard of it happening. So I think it's a pretty unlikely hypothetical.

But I also think it's a stupid hypothetical. The main issue with self-ID is that it's impossible to know (until it's too late) which men just want to pee and which men want to take advantage of women in a vulnerable space. If a man brings a baby in to use the changing station, however, it's obvious what his purpose is for being there.

This guy's racial segregation analogy is even more idiotic, and I suspect disingenuous as well.

Thanks for the explanation and I agree, it's pretty clear that if you see a man bringing in a baby with him and it's an obvious baby and not some toy used as a prop (lol), it's clear he just wants to do his due diligence and care for his child and be in and out. I have not come across any incidents of a man using a baby or small child as a prop to perv and be a creep towards women so it's generally okay.

The racial thing, don't even get me started. These people just can't hold in the opportunity to show their racism when it comes to this can't they?

I know they want it to be some clever gotcha moment, but it ends up demonstrating that they don't understand why racial segregation is unjust, either because they hold racist beliefs or because they're amoral virtue signalers who don't actually care about which policies create the most safety, dignity and fairness for everyone.

Agreed.
