The “gender-neutral” bathroom drama really started my senior year of college. I remember some lesbian chick (she might’ve been trans too, not sure) wrote an op-ed on how she should be able to use the men’s restroom on campus. Same goes for dudes who felt like chicks. They should be able to use the ladies room if they so choose. I disagreed, so I wrote an op-ed stating MY thoughts on the matter.
I was immediately labeled as a raging homophobe, simply because I said I didn’t want to share a bathroom with a biological dude. That’s one of the articles that led to me getting “fired” from the school’s paper…three days before graduation. It was all a big orchestrated temper tantrum. The lesbian chick’s opinion was fine, but I wasn’t allowed to disagree. It was truly a marvelous display of liberal “tolerance.”
Since then, the bathroom debate has raged on. Some retail stores even opened changing rooms and bathrooms to everyone. If a dude “felt” like a girl, he could go in the female restroom or changing room.
Like it or not, those loosey-goosey standards, or lack thereof, open the door to pervs. We actually have data to back that up.
Apparently, unisex changing rooms are becoming more common in the UK, and they come with risks. In fact, the “vast majority of reported sexual assaults” occur in unisex changing rooms.
The data, obtained through a Freedom of Information request by the Sunday Times, suggests that unisex changing rooms are more dangerous for women and girls than single-sex facilities.
Just under 90 per cent of complaints regarding changing room sexual assaults, voyeurism and harassment are about incidents in unisex facilities.
I am shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED.
Additionally, two-thirds of sexual assaults that take place at public swimming pools occur in– you guessed it– UNISEX changing rooms.
Of 134 complaints over 2017-2018, 120 reported incidents took place in gender-neutral changing rooms and just 14 were in single-sex changing areas.
Not cool.
While unisex facilities don’t make up the majority of changing rooms in the UK’s progressive paradise, the number is on the rise. ‘Cause you know. Having men and women change in the same area = PROGRESS. Please ignore that it actually puts women at a greater risk.
“These figures show that women and girls are more vulnerable in mixed changing rooms and there is a danger these places are becoming a magnet for sexual offenders,” says David Davies, MP for Monmouth.
“It simply doesn’t make sense to enable men to have greater access to women’s spaces. The reforms to gender recognition will grant that access.”
Does this mean we can say that “progressives” are actively anti-women?
