Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Then you and many you knew should’ve been brought up with better manners.
well let me just get into my time machine and ... wait what was your fucking point?
maybe a school should work with what they've got instead of complaining about things that literally can't be changed and putting children in danger. or don't, I don't really care.
I think their point is that you're the outlier here. I was a teenage boy in school. I've literally never seen or heard of someone doing what you described. Normal people are not sexualizing the bathroom, that's something you've come to on your own and that conservatives have this weird interest in for some reason. Maybe you should stop worrying about people taking a dump and just let people do what they want? The only reason this shit is even necessary is because conservatives want to try and legislate away the existence of LGBTQ+ people.
Jesus Christ it really is all just projection isn't it.
Kids are going to be drawn to forbidden things and boys are going to do stupid shit, of course you never heard of this brand new thing when you where a kid. IT'S A NEW THING. this is just a new rule to mess with and all it requires is for you to make a claim and no matter how much you think it's a matter of better education kids will will mess with it because kids are fucking awful.
You definitely sound like someone who used to sniff their sisters or moms underwear. Or at least peeked on them in the shower. I hope they never got stuck in a washing machine with you around.
the only place a teen could ever possibly "experiment" in according to you is a school bathroom, by that definition at least.
There is no other possible place where this could be done, everything except for the school bathroom is a void and doesn't exist.
That’s not “boys being boys” thinking, that’s the thinking of a future sexual assailant.
Yeah this is absolutely not normal, nor something anyone I hung out with would ever do.
Do they think girls bathrooms have everyone walking around naked and not like... using the facilities, having taco shits and everything?
in isolation sure.
I'm assuming you never had a group of male friends because there would inevitably be an older boy with secret info on how to get into the girls locker room without getting in trouble and then dares and double dares and calls of chicken and anyone dumb enough to put on a skirt and try it would be harassed for the rest of their days.
That's boys being boys
Wow, you’re just a sociopath it seems. My condolences to anyone who has to deal with you on the regular
As a boy that grew up a boy and hung out with other boys, your entire view is disgustingly fucked up. This ain't Porky's, pervert. If someone calling you a chicken for not being a predator is enough to make you a predator, I'm amazed you've survived this long with little to no spine. Quit trying to normalize fucked up behavior.
Dude thinks sex comedies from the 80s are real life.
Are you a real human? You sound like a character in a poorly written movie
"All my friends are sex offenders or spineless followers, boys will be boys! 🤷♂️"
Ok bud. Just because you hung out with the cast of a bad 80s movie doesn't mean everyone acts like that. And sure, maybe some kids will try it but literally no one with half a brain would fall for the excuse that they're trans with zero other evidence. Actual trans kids aren't making the bathroom their sole or first place to transition.
clearly no one here wants to even entertain that point.
The actual point that all these idiots clutching their pearls missed was that communal bathrooms are the real problem.
Good thing nothing in the article or thread mentioned communal bathrooms
The solution to this isn't ostracizing trans people, it's teaching children not be disgusting perpetrators of sexual harassment like you and many you knew.
So you admit you’re a sexual predator?
Because I never would do that and I do not know one person who ever would have done that.
The solution is obvious, you need to be locked up in gaol to protect everyone else.
Removed. That is not what it means to be trans. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Just because you're a gross pervert doesn't mean everyone else is, too
