1. La transfobia y su impacto en el acceso a baños.
El debate sobre el uso de baños se centra en la exclusión de personas trans y las consecuencias negativas que esto genera, tanto para ellas como para las personas cisgénero que no se ajustan a las normas de género tradicionales.
- You know what would really stick it to transphobia? trans people using the wrong bathroom at great risk to their physical and mental wellbeing!
- Hey look! it’s transphobia! you don’t want trans folks to be able to use the bathroom! sounds pretty damn anti trans to me, asshole.
- Transphobia be throwing fits about trans people using the bathroom. Like fine barbara ill just piss and shit on your hand bag.
2. Consecuencias de la transfobia para mujeres cisgénero.
Se argumenta que las políticas transfóbicas no solo afectan a las personas trans, sino que también perjudican a las mujeres cisgénero que no se ajustan a las expectativas de género, exponiéndolas a acoso y discriminación.
- Nice! but this is the thing, transphobia damages everyone. Any butch woman will tell you they’ve been challenged in a bathroom at least once. I mean wtaf!? just let people go pee, what’s the problem?
- The worst part about transphobia is women like this being targeted for using the 'wrong' bathroom.
- In a development that will surprise no one: following the uk s. Court decision, cis women who look 'masculine' are being harassed on entering women's toilets.inevitably, the transphobes are calling the women reporting this liars. Transphobia has negative consequences for all women.
3. La transfobia como herramienta de control social.
Se plantea que la transfobia se utiliza como un mecanismo para reforzar las normas de género tradicionales y controlar a las mujeres, tanto cis como trans, que no se ajustan a estas normas.
- It's been obvious for some time now, and this just further proves it: so much of the transphobia around simply using bathrooms isn't just about hurting trans people and legalizing discrimination. It's also about policing femininity, and bigots deciding who is a "real woman," cis and trans alike.
- Remember: the bathroom policing is not just about transphobia (horrible in and of itself) but about keeping all women within strict gender roles and presentation. The gender binary is a menace to everyone.
- Preach! “transphobia and misogyny have always been two sides of the same coin. Notice, it’s a cis man that went into the bathroom and a cis woman getting punished for it. This has always been about punishing women, cis and trans, for not fitting standards of femininity the right wants to enforce.”.
4. Alternativas y soluciones propuestas.
Se sugieren alternativas como baños neutros y un enfoque en la seguridad y privacidad en lugar de la identidad de género, argumentando que la transfobia no resuelve los problemas de seguridad en los baños.
- Transphobia won’t make toilets safe. Making toilets safe makes toilets safe. Transphobia puts us all in danger.
- We can design public restrooms differently to address issues like safety and privacy. The fact that the argument is over which restroom a person should use rather than how we design them says that the disagreement is about the person, not safety and privacy. That’s exactly what transphobia is.
- Push for better bathroom stalls, not transphobia.
