This will oust the corruption of transgender

Why? What's wrong with it? Some public places in the UK or Europe have communal changing rooms, it's not a problem. I went to a public spa in the UK and the communal changing rooms were quite normal.

When you say public bathroom do you mean public toilets? Most people these days have a bath in their home.

And yet, your way of saying it can be equally critiqued. Why ask "where is the toilet" ? The TOILET is just one of many things in the ROOM.

It would be like asking where is the sink, or where is the mirror, or where is the faucet. What you really want to know is where the room is situated, not where the toilet is inside the room - presumably, you're capable of finding it!

Isaac, I will be blunt. Religious prudism is one of the ills of religion we can do without. It was eating the apple that gave Adam and Eve knowledge of shame. Before then, they were naked, dumb, and happy. Knowledge of shame is a gift of Satan. Why would you wish to retain it?

I think in the very near future, people will be hesitant to come out as, "Straight".

Once again we are reminded that LGBTQ++++ deserves a whole month(s) of recognition, while military veterans barely get a day.

That is something to be shameful of. We've come a long way from persecuting people for their sexual preferences but that doesn't mean as a society we should tolerate the lewdness on display at these parades.

Parents who take their children to Gay Pride parades should be charged with endangering a minor for exposing them to the naked men prancing around simulating sexual moves. And the people exposing themselves should be charged with public lewdness. If you want to go naked in public, go to a nudist beach. If you want to have sex with your partner, get a room.

Sounds to me like the usual confusion of foreigners picking up the American style English as opposed to the correct version.
Still, I won't argue, it's not in my nature, just put it down to differences.

I disagree. Sex should be kept sacred between a married man and woman, there it is to be enjoyed fully and non-prudishly, but outside there not so. This makes for the best marriages with the least struggle, as I have gone into a lot more detail before I will not now here repeat, but it's best to get married without having a million prior experiences to compare your spouse to, that only undermines a relationship.

And think of the children, which all humans are before they are adults - therefore you are thinking of the benefit of mankind.
Little Johnny does not care how much you enjoyed your penis prior to marriage, he just wants mom and dad to stick together - and benefits hugely from that.

They already are, the children on tiktok all feel the need to become something 'alternate', and are suddenly doing so in statistical droves

Your response completely missed my point. Before Satan gave Eve the apple, nobody knew about the concept of shame. Shame was a gift of Satan, not of God. WHY DO YOU CLING TO THAT GIFT?

Sex should be sacred between a married couple, why do you cling to a culture that helps destroy marriages?

Sex is different than shame. You were originally talking about seeing the "wrong" body in a bathroom. That isn't about sex. It is about finding shame in the human body. You diverted the discussion to your pet peeve.

No, it's about privacy. Men look at this very differently than women do. Men in women's bathrooms are perverts. Women in men's bathrooms are welcomed

Can't tell you how many concerts I've been to where the women's restrooms are full and they walk right past us while we are peeing in the trough. I don't mean urinal, I mean semicircular trough. But no one complained. BTW, I don't blame them.

There was one hotel we played a tournament at every year that had the most rational bathroom setup I've ever seen. The men/ladies rooms were side by side and divided into thirds. The middle part could be assigned as male or female by simply shutting the right door and that catered very well to different types of crowds. More large venues should adopt a similar layout.

I took my husband to a Red Sox/Yankees game at Yankee Stadium for his birthday when our daughter was 9. We were in line at the concession stand when I noticed that the men's room was right next to us and the door was open and my daughter was standing there just watching. Not much to see since the men had their backs to us but having the door open didn't bother them at all. Then after the game was over, we were walking down the ramp and three guys mooned the gaggle of girls in front of us. That's NY for you.

The discussion I was having is related to - but not precisely - privacy. I was doing a "devil's advocate" argument regarding the fact that shame and privacy came to us only AFTER Eve ate of the apple at the urging of Satan. And it was targeted to Isaac.

Let's just say it made sense to me, which is why I went that way.

You would have loved McSorley's Ale House in NYC. Established in the 1850's and didn't allow women until the 1970's.
I think there was only 2 items on the bar menu, McSorley's Ale & Guinness, and lots of it since you had to buy 2 at a time. Needless to say there was never a need for a ladies room so no choice but to share.

Perfect, I'd probably pick the house beer first.

...and lots of it since you had to buy 2 at a time.

So it's a time saver, the first round usually goes quickly anyway, I'm not opposed to ordering two.

Was fascinating seeing the waiters navigate the crowd carrying a stack of 20 or so mugs at a time.
