truman   10 #1405 Posted September 3, 2018 We could ......but I strongly believe we should not and would not let my children use them or any child for which I had any responsibility.  So if you go swimming with your young son and daughter logistically what would you do?

Halibut   12 #1406 Posted September 3, 2018  as i'm concerned the gender binary, also referred to as gender binarism is the classification of sex and gender into two distinct, opposite and disconnected forms of masculine and feminine.  Most people these days regard that concept as old fashioned, unhelpful and innacurate, but you're free to cling onto it if you wish.

However ..It is accurate .. with extremely few exceptions humans are physically male or female.  What some humans perceive themselves to be mentally if different from the norm is entirely their own business and not something I would want or need to get involved with discussion or argument about. And that is a choice I am still free to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #1408 Posted September 4, 2018 So why exactly ARE you involved in a discussion about it?  And in fact you seem to be quite prepared to impose your opinion on other people, post #1402, where you've unilaterally decided that letting people use the appropriate facility is somehow a danger to children and that I shouldn't be allowed to put children in danger. A pretty big leap if ever I saw one.  ---------- Post added 04-09-2018 at 19:34 ----------  We could ......but I strongly believe we should not and would not let my children use them or any child for which I had any responsibility.  I don't recognise your self perceived right to determine that letting people use whichever facility they find appropriate is dangerous.

A pretty big leap if ever I saw one.  ---------- Post added 04-09-2018 at 19:34 ----------  Again you misunderstand ..do you not read then think before passing a comment. I am against the provisdion of and against people using an INAPPROPRITE FACILITY. I don't recognise your self perceived right to determine that letting people use whichever facility they find appropriate is dangerous.  why would you think that i would care about that?  but allowing children to use an INAPPROPRIATE FACILTY is potentially more dangerous than allowing them to use an appropriate one and is therefore could be construed as neglect.  BTW i am voicing my opinion and am willing to justify it and not in anyway trying to impose it on anyone  in regard to the acusation of me trying to impose my opinion... have you ever retrospectfully read any of your own posts with an open mind?

Cyclone   10 #1410 Posted September 5, 2018 Why do you think that anyone cares about your opinion?  How have you managed to move onto children? Children, particularly the younger end of the spectrum, use whichever facility is appropriate for the parent they're with... So I think you're onto a loser with that one. You are most definitely trying to impose it, what did you think you were doing with statements about neglecting children and that you don't think other people have the right to do something... Those are both statements about the control of other peoples behaviour.  You've also invented a strawman, you're (apparently now) arguing against people using an inappropriate facility, but the posts you argued against were actually about allowing people to choose for themselves the APPROPRIATE facility. By inference what you actually mean is that you get to decide what facility is appropriate and the opinion of the person in question isn't relevant. Your entire argument is about your opinion taking precedence and how people should behave in the way that you think is correct.

You do seem to be alone in thinking that they should be sent into a changing room without their parent though.  sending a child alone into a public toilet in which there are men and men concealing or presenting themselves as women Careful, your prejudice is showing a through.
