[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'd be comfortable sending your teenaged daughter into a changing room with grown men? [b]How is that not what we're talking about?[/b] Some people are uncomfortable with people who appear to be male changing in the women's locker room. Many posters have said that it shouldn't matter because no one should be looking. If that's the case, why separate us at all? No one should be looking, and we should all be totally cool with penises in the women's locker room. [/quote]

Because we are actually talking about sending your teenaged daughter into a changing room with grown women.

But thank you for bringing up the real reason why there are gendered changing rooms -- namely, not to protect men from the sight of women's naked bodies and women from the sight of men's naked bodies, but rather to protect women (including transwomen) from being attacked by men.[/quote]

Do transgenders have the equip,net to physically attack women like any other man?  Are you saying that transgenders are not attracted to women because they have a desire to be a woman?  [/quote]

For one thing, we are talking about people, not "transgenders". (Or "cisgenders".)

For another thing, gender identity is different from sexuality. Some women are attracted to women, some women are attracted to men, some men are attracted to women, some men are attracted to men, some women are attracted to women and men, some men are attracted to men and women, and some men and women are not attracted to anybody. All of this is just as true for ciswomen and cismen as it is for transwomen and transmen.

For a third thing, the relationship between sexual assault and sexuality is -- well, not straightforward.[/quote]
