you know what i hope ends in my life time unironically? segregating based off of gender and/or sex. i think ā€œmale sportsā€ and ā€œfemale sportsā€ shouldnā€™t exist. i hate gender essentialism.

genuinely hope that future generations look back on when we separated restrooms based on what genitals you were supposed to have they get the same feeling of unease and disbelief as i did when i first learned about racial segregation.

@puppygirlhornypost2 i feel like eventually the idea of like, cis people and trans people just won't exist because people get to choose their gender either way, so there's not much of a distinction other than just puberty i guess

@puppygirlhornypost2 My mom spent so much time reminding me over and over again that a lot of men are not above sexual abuse, and if Iā€™m honest, if Iā€™m alone in public, itā€™s terrifying. I donā€™t think bathrooms should be agender- I could get behind individual bathroom stalls with proper walls and everything, but I donā€™t want a man I donā€™t trust anywhere near me while Iā€™m going to the bathroom.

@puppygirlhornypost2 like, it has been repeatedly shown that the primary factor in competitiveness in sports is just how much testosterone you have in your body, regardless of your gender/sex lol

@jnpojuwan it was hard to explain the feeling i felt. i just thought it was so cruel. at that time i didnā€™t know the word dystopian. Itā€™s at this time I acknowledge that I lived in Alabama, in a community where it was a very even mix (prior to that i had lived in arizona and the places that i lived didnā€™t have a large black population). I had just as much black friends as I had white and then to hear about all of that. Just felt unreal to me? I donā€™t know how to describe it.

@puppygirlhornypost2 no like sex would still be a thing but it just wouldn't be attached to the idea of these binaries

like, a girl, or a boy, or a boy on a girl, or a girl on a girl, or a boy on a boy or anything like that

like, we would instead find attraction in the unique configuration of identity in that person instead of having to decant into generalistic labels

hmm... i think this is a complex question too because we are also naturally women and men because gender identity itself happens naturally (disregarding of predetermined biological configurations) so would it be erasure to delete the concept of gender altogether?

yeah my brain is stupid forget all i said šŸ˜­

@solonovamax @puppygirlhornypost2 i was under the impression that "testosterone over baseline" was more relevant as opposed to absolute levels of testosterone, meaning testosterone above the amount that your body has been generating from glands or is otherwise accustomed to. i believe that people with high absolute levels of testosterone do not necessarily exhibit greater athletic ability

@julia @puppygirlhornypost2 that probably depends on the crowding level

if the bathroom is quiet and there's no bystanders, this won't help

also I just know it's going to lead to non-passing trans women getting harassed out of the toilet for being "men" (just like it is today)

@julia @LunaDragofelis They should be individual, or at the very least we should remove the ā€˜gapā€™ in North American restrooms. I donā€™t think anyone whoā€™s purposely praying on vulnerable people is going to be stopped by segregated bathrooms (Iā€™ve heard plenty of horror stories about late night gas station bathrooms). I also think I would genuinely feel safer if there were other men in the bathroom to thwart off anyone from trying to attempt that (although i know that logic is flawed)

I mean don't get me wrong, men fucking *suck*, but don't you think that that might be influenced by society's obsession with gender essentialism? Like if you're taught since birth that women are a separate species and have that thought reinforced through, say, bathroom segregation, does that not in many ways lead to treating them as lesser?

Also I know this is a low-hanging fruit thing to say but what you're saying rn is kinda passing privilege tbh. Like y'know I'd like to share public bathrooms with people that have my same gender identity but I don't *get* to, and agender bathrooms would alleviate that feeling for non-passing trans people like myself.

@AppleAmps @LunaDragofelis @puppygirlhornypost2 it is passing privilege, but like. I donā€™t think mixed gender bathrooms are the solution. Agender ones are the solution, but I donā€™t see that finding mass adoption due to the need to reconstruct things

I didn't say that? It's privilege to be able to share a bathroom with people that are your same gender, not to be scared of men. Like, *I'm* scared of men, but I don't have the privilege of not using men's bathrooms.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @AppleAmps @julia @LunaDragofelis iā€™m thinking that maybe instead of one big bathroom with multiple stalls in it, itā€™d be much safer if there were simply multiple smaller bathrooms that only one person can be in at a time

that way no one would have to deal with other people

but thats more expensive so why would anyone bother, and most people dont care enough to get anything of that sort standardized

also side note but iā€™m scared that if gender neutral bathrooms actually catch on anywhere, men would continue getting their stupid urinals installed and piss out in the open for everyone to see, but now while also exposing women to it. god i hate urinals i hate urinals i hate urinals i hate urinals i hate urinals i hate urinals

I propose a separate room with urinals only, in addition to the (ungendered) individual stall rooms. So that the standpissers don't bother the sitpissers.

@puppygirlhornypost2 the only sport iā€™ve played, quite badly, since i left school is archery. the olympic events are segregated but the bows, arrows, distances, targets, etc. are the same for men and women, so you can compare scores directly. in the individual events in the 2024 summer games the two highest scoring women did better than all the men, which just reinforces my suspicion that a lot of gender segregation in sport is about protecting men from the embarrassment of losing to women.
