Sex and Gender

[JohnD]

Common sense covers it, why do some people feel the need to make laws just for the sake of it.

Some people might say "I am a woman who goes to the local pool with my 8 year old daughter and 14 year old daughter. In the communal women's changing rooms and showers, I don't wish them to meet a naked person soaping their cock and balls."

Does common sense say she is entitled to be in a single-sex area, or does it say that the person is entitled to be in it?

presumably you are aware that there are people who hold each of the conflicting opinions?

Does that happen often?

I don't want aliens to abduct me from the street and analy probe me, settings laws to block it seems excessive.

 

[JohnD]

Does that happen often?

You want to put a number on it?

Should it happen at all?

Read the question.

If you want to have a discussion about numbers, it's not there.

As neither transgender nor any other variation is mentioned in the question, why is not simply worded:

Should a naked man be allowed into the communal women's changing room or showers?

Which is one of the many reasons it's a poor question.

I think showers should be kept separate even if there is communal nudity elsewhere. For a bit of gender privacy, if nothing else.

Ah, you're hoping to divert with the old "it never happens" line.

I'm glad you asked that.

It's because that's not the question I'm asking.

Does it happen? I'm not convinced this is anything more than the result of terrified religious nutters spreading rumours.

 

[JohnD]

that's fine, so you don't need to answer the question. You've never seen it, so it doesn't exist. You have no opinion on whether it should be allowed or not.

'bye.

Boo.

Hoo.

I am firmly against alien abduction if that helps.
