Women: protect the guy in the next stall

One of these again.

It really doesn’t take that much thought to see the problem. The authors of this harangue can’t have made any effort at all.

What about the privacy of the person – let’s say, just to pick one at random, the woman – who “feels like” the man she sees in the women’s toilet is in the wrong toilet? Why doesn’t her privacy matter at least as much as his? Why is he in the women’s toilet? Why can’t he use the men’s? Why is it her job to respect his privacy but not his job to respect hers? Why is it her job to protect him from harm when he could be there to do harm to her? Why does anyone have to respect anyone’s “identity” when that’s a matter of respecting a fantasy “identity” that differs from the obvious physical real-world one? And above all, she is using the facilities she feels safe in, and the man is taking that away from her by using them himself – so why is she the one admonished that the man is using the facilities he feels safe in?

I can’t believe this stupid poster hasn’t been laughed out of existence yet.
