When did I imply that? Of course they don't. What I take issue with is your claim that when Christians use Christianity to justify their twisted views, it must be the case that they are "interpreting" the central text of their religion incorrectly. However, Leviticus 20:13 is pretty unambiguous and leaves very little…

A fatwa may be an opinion, but that doesn't make it any less lethal. Just ask Salman Rushdie.

And christianity is used to say that homosexuals are evil perverts who should be executed, and that women should not have autonomy over their own bodies

I absolutely understand what you're saying, but that in no way refutes my point that Islam is used to legitimize these practices. That is simply a fact.

Well, we'll see how this will play out in the future.

What you fail to understand is that religion is culture. In the case of Islam it was originally the culture of the tribes living on the Arabian peninsula that got, shall we say, "exported" to other parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe. I have no doubt that many questionable practices existed in Pakistan before Islam…

Actually, it's pretty much at its lowest pitch ever.

Funny, I don't happen to think of public restrooms as "safe spaces", gendered or not. At any rate, since large unisex bathrooms are extremely rare what you are essentially going by are fears deriving from gender stereotypes, which should always be taken with a massive grain of salt.

Of course it does. A huge part of the "culture and the laws of the particular region" derive from Islam, so it is not a stretch to say that however they justify their actions, Islam is likely to be a part of that justification.

Can you cite any relevant studies?

Very close.

Perhaps you ought to read these articles:

True, but Islam helps them legitimize their actions.

Really?

I'm getting the sinking feeling that you're not being sarcastic.

There's a word for "the culture of humanity": it's called genes.

Local culture? Literally nothing to do with Islam? More like you have no idea what you're talking about.

And sex segregation helps in what way? Social change happens slowly, and in a couple of decades we might all shake our heads over how sex segregation was even possible "back then" in the way we now shake our heads over "colored bathrooms".

First of all, as a guy, this is not an experience I can really relate to. I'm sure it must have sucked. At the same time though, I feel like if someone wants to touch up a woman a "ladies" sign is not going to stop him if you were alone in there either. We honestly don't know what the effect of unisex bathrooms on…

It's simple, really.
