The insanity of this and double think beggars belief. I have been flashed at a few times. The first time as a 10 year old and then at 15. Both occasions where very frightening and icky.
It is not appropriate to normalise penis in female spaces where women are changing and naked. This is simply pushing women’s boundaries, until we have none.
How can we teach out daughters about safety when there is a double message that completely contradicts itself.
It is 100% appropriate for women , girls to remove them selves as fast as possible from the close vicinity ( hopeful it is possible) of a pensis, unless they have actively chosen to be there. This is not transphobic, it is about safely.
It is unfortunately based on the real experience of women.
It’s bad enough that we get bombarded with unsolicited dick picks on social media, dating sites, Snapchat etc.
Now we are supposed to just roll over and accept it in our private spaces.
Again I say, it is not acceptable to normalise thus.
also to say, that men and boys have a right to privacy too when in changing rooms.
I also don’t want, when I’m trying to clean up mess from my period . Yes it happens. Being a woman is a messy, smelly business sometimes.
Trans rights matter, but not when they totally centre the trans rights at the expense of everyone else.
It makes me so mad that in the name of avoid hurting peoples feelings I am reduced to referring to genitalia. This is dehumanising for all of us.
My hope is that there can be a calm debate about how to manage this. And trans have safe spaces too.
