No, you are not narrowminded. Bathrooms are segregated by sex for a reason. I pull my pants down in the bathroom and I don’t want men in there with me.

I don’t want me in the womens’ bathroom. I would not feel safe.
Fuck the “respectful” clients, they’re still coming from a place of feeling entitlement to womens’ bodies. Someone called it “self care” a few posts up, wtf? Women seem to get along just fucking fine without needing to purchase access to vulnerable mens’ bodies. Why are we giving men a pat on the back just because…
Is there anyone else who finds that using NOTHING works best for their skin? I can’t be the only one. Every time I have ever used a face wash it always makes me break out.

““Gender” as an academic or metric term from measuring or grouping people is absolutely constructed, but your sex when you are born is not. And unfortunately because of years of sexist social constructs, sex as a biological trait is combined with said social constructs to create a gender identity. And I think for some…
“But when members of the trans community says that it’s offensive to be compared to Rachel Dolezal, I tend to listen.”
Change the words in your paragraph and you’ve got Caitlyn Jenner:
“How long must a transgendered person have been living “as” that gender in order to be able to claim that they’ve lived that “experience?””
I completely agree. I’m just asking why we don’t extend this analysis to the appropriation of womanhood by men. A man might be able to sympathize and empathize, but how would he have any idea what it’s really like being a woman?
I completely agree. What I don’t understand is why people refuse to apply this perfectly logical analysis to the appropriation of womanhood by men.
“but the key here is that she can never, ever know what its like to be a black woman in this country”
