In reply to the discussion: Does this sound ominous? the Women's Enhanced Reflection Act [View all]DetlefK
(16,670 posts)8. I propose a 3-day-waiting-period before going to a toilet frequented by transgender people.
3 days sounds like a reasonable amount of time to ponder whether you REALLY want to use a toilet where a transgender person could be in that other stall.
Maybe it's time to consider alternatives to public toilets? How about shitting behind a bush or tree? Or shitting your pants? Or holding it in until you find another toilet?
And what we definitely need is politicians meddling with your body. All they are asking for is that their opinion be more important than the opinion of people actually on the case. Is that really that much of a demand?

Enforced delay is "enhanced reflection" like torture is "enhanced interrogation". nt
