    No it wasn’t. At all. I think trans people should use the bathroom of their gender period.

    But then I don’t think being trans is a choice.

    You didn’t answer my question- is being gay a choice?

        Sorry… are you now saying that being trans is a choice because some people pretend to be trans? Also, how exactly do you take advantage of women by pretending to be trans?

        This is some weird TERF shit.

          You didn’t answer my question-What was your argument if not that women would be uncomfortable because he looked like a man? That’s some weird TERF shit.

            Women wouldn’t be uncomfortable because he looks like a man.

            He is a man.

            Women would be uncomfortable because a man would be forced to use their bathroom.

            I’m not sure why this isn’t clear to you. Oh, wait, yes I do, because you think being trans is a choice, like so many bigots before you.

            Sorry, can you unpack exactly what you think being trans is, please? You’ve gestured in a couple of directions this thread, but I’d rather have a direct explicit answer than trying to infer it and possibly be wrong.

        No. But people don’t go around pretending to be gay to take advantage of women.

        Oh, you’re just a bog standard conspiratorial TERF. It’s all making sense now.

          Sure bud, just slap labels on people and ignore them. I suppose that’s much easier than having a conversation about protecting children.
