    A dude accidentally showing his dick? Sure that happens all the time! Can my daughter not take a piss without having some dick in her face? I am for single restrooms for all. I don't want any pervs near my kid.

    Pretty sure this person is a troll, they are arguing in favor of transitioning on a post I made today. I let the mods know, better to just report and move on.

    I thought the person's original point was a decent one, though. It seems plausible that campaigns to get transwomen out of women's bathrooms could result in butch lesbians being mistakenly identified as men/transwomen and being harassed.

    EDIT: that doesn't mean that transwomen should be allowed in women's spaces, but the potential problems caused by oversensitive transdar (i.e. The trans equivalent of gaydar. Is that a thing?) are still worth keeping in mind.

    Possible but unlikely. A person's biological sex is a lot easier to guess than their sexual orientation, because it has way more impact on their physical features.

    I don't mind talking about that particular issue, but the thing is, this person wasn't interested in any constructive debate-- they made sweeping generalizations and if proved wrong, moved on to other "what about ___?" questions. And, this is not really a debate sub anyway. Have you seen s/GCdebatesQT? This might actually be a good question to post to them.
