Experts have repeatedly debunked the myth that transgender non-discrimination laws give sexual predators access to women's restrooms, but that hasn't stopped conservative media outlets from promoting fake news stories to fear monger about trans-inclusive bathrooms.
For as long as the transgender community has fought for protection from discrimination in public spaces, conservatives have peddled the myth that sexual predators will exploit non-discrimination laws to sneak into women's restrooms.
That fear has been an extremely effective tool for scaring people into voting against even basic protections for transgender people, which is why conservatives routinely use the phrase "bathroom bill" to describe laws prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations. When conservative media outlets attack non-discrimination laws for transgender people, they almost exclusively focus on bathroom and locker room facilities.
But that fear is baseless - completely unsupported by years of evidence from states that already have non-discrimination laws on the books.
Bout' time this was brought into the light. ^^
thanks for nice forum
I don't know why ANYONE would want to hang around a public restroom! Most of them are filthy and smell to high heaven. Maybe we should have our legislators go on "stakeout" to see how many "perverts" they can catch!
Cis people have a bizarre hang up about gender segregated rest rooms. If a cis male wants to sneak inside a female toilet block for whatever sexual gratification is driving them to do so, they don't bother with dressing to appear like a woman first.
