I don't give a shit who shits next to me. I do give a shit about people who can't or won't give a proper definition of Man/Woman, something that illiterate morons have been able to do since the advent of language.
I'm not sure "fact" is the right concept or at least how the word has come to be used in common parlance. I've been home all day, and thus spending too much time posting here, and everything I've griped about comes down to the rejection of Realism. Take the dictionary definition of "fact":
Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.
Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed.
A real occurrence; an event.
Notice the trend: "real", "demonstrated", "real". Realism supports the existence of universals, numbers, and propositions. These three are "mind independent." Universals being things like a circle; there is no need for a human mind to exist for a circle to exist. Numbers being things like the number seven; there is no need for human mind to exist for the number seven to exist. And finally propositions being things like "trees are green"; require not human mind to exist for the proposition to be true.
Ok, why all this crap? Because if you're not a realist you wind up being some sort of nominalist. And that is the sort of person that says: "some women have penises and some men have babies." Such statements used to be confined to defenders of Realism given as a hyperbolic example of nominalism, but now it's part of our public discourse.
Well you said that better than I could. I guess I’m a realist because women don’t have penises. I guess I should’ve said it seemed to be accepted logic.
We are talking about children so it should be pretty safe to have them using the bathroom of their birth sex. If a girl is dressing like a boy, no one gives a shit, she can still use the girls room. I see no problem with that.
Um having your kid in school with a pervert -- or a kid raised by perverts -- is another problem.

Yea it is annoying because this was basic fact up until a few years ago

Observable reality, fundament truth
I'm in favor of 3 bathrooms: One for men, one for women, and one for perverts. That way the perverts stick to preying on each other
The trans bathroom debate is exactly the same as the trans sports debate.
FtM in the male space is permissible, because they do not pose a threat to the men there that is any greater than another man does.
MtF is the female space is not permissible, because they pose a threat to the women there that is greater than the threat posed by another woman.
A man in the women's bathroom causes fear.
A woman in the men's bathroom causes laughter.
This woman has chosen to become a joke, and I welcome her into the men's bathroom on one condition: I get to make fun of her.

I care about the principle. If women get a designated space, men should get one too. The sideshow freaks can go in the bushes.
