What the fuck is up with all the concern trolling about transgender women using women's...
bathrooms? I can hear the dogwhistle from miles away. Oh and on that note, why the fuck is this bullshit allowed to stand?
On edit: Seriously, what do the trolls want, full body scanners to check for surgical marks? Blood test to check hormone levels? Papers to check legal or medical documentation of transition?

One of the concern trolls was removed after comments in another thread.
But the jury results on his post were 
When I first signed on to this forum a post comparing Caitlyn Jenner to Rachel Dolezal would have got you shit canned. Now not only is it acceptable it's practically encouraged.
Following you and Number23 and writing-

In your other post, you noted there is a history of that happening on DU.
We have both been responding on these posts all day and I *have* been giving crap to the males as well. I have zero tolerance for transphobia no matter who it comes from.
I do not believe that transphobia is limited to radfems at all nor am I urging anyone to focus on them. I admit that my personal experiences come into play here because I learned about TERFs this year and have been horrified they exist. I am not the only one discussing them, though. In my responses to you, I am not urging you to focus on them alone. Your responses to my posts seemed dismissive, as if TERFs are a figment of the imagination and I was trying to clear things up.
I do want focus on anyone transphobia, whether they are right-wing, MRA, fundies, or TERFs. I believe these people need to be exposed and invalidated. I am certainly not against women one bit.
I think there has been confusion and miscommunication of intent on both of our sides here. 
The P-Mate is a portable urinating device that allows women to urinate standing up whenever they need to, without losing their dignity and more effectively angle urine samples into testing cups. Easy and hygienic, the device is made from recycled flat-packed cardboard and permits women to direct the urine stream comfortably instead of blindly over a toilet.
You can even write your name in the snow! 
I have always wanted to write my name in the snow. 
My friend camps A LOT and got something called a "She-wee," which is a plastic thing that a woman can use in order to pee standing up. According to her, it does not work well enough to write your name in the snow.
because of the push poll nature of the questions. To say anything meaningful about how DUers feel, the options need to include at least one (besides "other" that each DU member can reasonably say - "Sounds about right."
This poll had no options for anyone who is supportive of allowing all women to use the women's room, without proof that they are not really men intending to use the bathroom to gain access to women for evil purposes.
Sorry about that.
I edited the wording.
of course he's conveniently ignoring the fact that a significant percentage of Catholic priests have a terrible, proven child rape record, unlike transgendered people using restrooms.
Once they review what he's been doing since like the day after he got here, I'm sure a ban will quickly follow.
jackass who've hung around for far tool long? 
It's not a matter of desexualizing, imo. Men and woman sometimes just prefer same sex company, sometimes, and walking around in a towel is one of those times. Going out for a girls' not out without my husband is another one of those times.
The same country that is more progressive and might accept nudity as common place on beaches will still have separate locker rooms at the local club. Why? Because sometimes, women want to be with other women and men want to be with other men!
It's not quite OLIVE GARDEN, breast feeding, pitbulls or smoking, but if it keeps up, it's gonna feel that way.
The reason this 'bullshit' is allowed to stand is because we've been infested with a lot of people who don't have the best interests of Democrats, liberals, and progressives at heart. They are here, stirring up trouble, operating just under the wire, and many of them are voting on juries to support unprogressive stances.
What do the trolls want? They want to divide the membership of this board, in any way they can. They even set up websites and talk about how they can do it--it's a sad little "no real life" situation with those poor slobs.
I have to 
MIRT, they are doing a fantastic job at knocking down most of these jerks, but a few will slip through, they'll hide out in little-used groups, they'll poke and prod on the rare occasion--but not TOO much--and they'll sow some of that not-so-delicious FUD.
Be on the lookout, is all I can tell ya.
