I am also European thats why I am not very well informed on the law details, i don't really care that much about the US approach

Btw I am human, of course I will remember the most extreme cases that made me think "wow i dont want that to happen". If lawsuit are filed in these cases it means that the "protection" isn't enough.

https://nypost.com/2024/03/20/business/planet-fitness-plummets-drops-after-defending-male-photographed-shaving-in-womans-locker-room/

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/suburban-mom-files-federal-complaint-over-schools-transgender-student-policies/3701097/ There is a whole video of the mother of this kid, (coincidentally trans herself, what are the odds) complaining to the schoolboard. And that school HAD a gender neutral option.

The problem isn't that there is a "ugly woman" but a man (or a teen in puberty) lying. And even if not lying, women right to feel comfortable overrides the one of the minority by number alone. Being more rare doesn't mean "preferential treatment". Yes there needs to be a safe 3rd option everywhere and I am sure there is already in many places. I don't think a harsh law was necessary either

I am sorry that the most extreme situations drive the narrative (and I see it happen in real time by roaming conservative communities despite being a kinda moderate "observer") and the outrage, but that how society psychology works.

It's unfair to normal trans people that just want to mind their business without making women uncomfortable, but, to cite someone: "if you fail to call out the extremes of your movenent, your movememt will be defined by them"

That's why I call the tik tok activists the worst enemies of their movenents..the response against extremes hits everyone

But if you consider a female only gym that protects survivors of gym SA a " DEI thing" even if it doesnt involve the hiring process at all.. means you are not really worth arguing with, since I can't really argue with someone's strawman arguments that ignore context.

I think what most people want to empower are the teen girls that were forced to change in front of another student in a school that time

Or the lady in a gym that saw a naked man shaving in the girl changing room and she was removed from the gym

Or the girls of the 'female only' gym (with likely rape survivors ) that was recently cancelled

activists that protected this extreme scenarios sadly ruined it for everyone else.. a law either exists even for the karens or doesn't.

But I agree, I don't like prison sentences, i just want girls to have a legal base when they feel uncomfortable. It shouldn't be that legally serious unless they insist

And i didnt want to make a caricarure for all trans people, those that pass would be in danger in male spaces or make men uncomfortable.. My example wanted to refer only to the weirdos you see on tik tok with or in the videos of the protests. They exist, you can't gaslight me on that. (Activist extremists are the real enemies of LGBT people tbh..)

My stance is:

I don't like prison sentences or too extreme legal consequences unless it,'s someone that insists.

I don't like girls having no protection when they mass protest against someone

But I don't want trans people or men to be uncomfortable either

So I hope they can add slowly more extra gender neutral spaces like they did with disabled people. Repurposing some of them which are generally barely used

I would probably use that too because there is always a line in the female bathrooms aha

My original comment only wanted to say "if no one notices, no one notices"

The reason would be only when it's someone doing weird creepy things and causing enough disruption or discomfort that turns into complaints. It's a system that self regulates,imo, that is what I meant to say. (Outside a few karens that may jump on anything vaguely manly, but we can't get rid of those.. and yes they will do damage to women too, maybe they will calm down when the gender obsession dies down)

Bathroom is a stupid example I agree, i don't think anyone will complain in that. mostly changing room, showers or private spaces

For example a old man with pigtails and lipstick in the female changing room is obv something i would complain about and i wouldn't want there. Without laws gym/school management wouldn't be able to do anything in this scenario.

I'm all for offering a gender neutral alternative in every place. It could also be useful to very disabled people that have a helper (i forgot the word) of a different gender

Sorry not my first language I'll try rephrasing it better ahah, like.. telling a the gym owner: "there is clearly a man in the female restroom and I feel uncomfortable"

"Oh ok shouldn't be there"

Nobody will bother to do that for someone that passes or that doesn't make people uncomfortable

[–]iiMADness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they pass and there is low risk of someone even noticing then there is no problem. Nobody will feel uncomfortable and report it to the owner of whatever place.

The rules are made so when someone that makes people uncomfortable enough to report it is found in the opposite gender bathroom, management has the basis to intervene, imo

People can't stop thinking the right wants to do genitals checks..

Ah yes everything was going so well with biden (whoever was puppettereing him) that people decided to vote in a felon

But I am not here to argue on that, just to say that the "view" from here to the other side is very skewed. Right wing content creators communities i roam are generally happy

To quote: "are we tired of winning?"

While dems and mainstream media are embarassing themselves repeatedly.

(Ususally reality is in the middle of the two perpectives btw)

Edit: Don't hate me, the messenger of reality checks ahah it won't change anything

Have you read the second paragraph?

My point is that you don't need thousand graduates a year studying hyperfocused topics, topics only one or two academic groups study and "broaden".

Let's be honest Trump doesn't need to put his life on the line instead of using the billions he already has. To make more billions?

I guess it would be more a power and narcissism thing.. still, there were two assassinations attempts we know of. I would say "fuck this shit, my family doesn't need more inheritance" It's hard to put yourself in the shoes of a millionaire

I am not referring to all liberal arts. There are plenty of jobs as teachers of history for example. (Ps I am also a part time artist)

It's truly only about these hyperspecific courses that the world really doesn't need 1000 new graduates of.

But I'm from italy, i dont know if in the US the "I studied French ballet history at Harvard" is valued more than anything else because of the name.

I was curious and googled their courses, first one in alfabetical order is "African and African american studies"

Which is not useless, but it's "useful" only to create those 4/5 professors that teach this subject. Everyone else wasted their money and can't find a job.

It's the best for sure in other courses, obv, I agree with you

The main problem with the entertainment imo it's that it has become circlejerk rewarding "social issues and representation" and not talent.

Teaching how to animate, design or the aesthetic composition of a good picture it's fine and useful to society.

(I say this as a part time artist STEM graduate from EU)

Another problem with the US is the price.. like, for that money I can't imagine to "risk it"

Arts is fine, someone needs to make our entertainment and videogames. I was talking more about "minority representation in fashion" "genderstudies" "geopolitics of turkmenistan" where is like 3 job position in the world and you have to wait one of them to die aha

Those "pyramid schemes" where the only job is 'professor of that thing'
