Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]
In general, the first response was "So what is the problem?". After a couple of questions, they switched to "Oh, I see a problem".
In two cases, they assured me that their facilities prevent any interaction between trans "women" and the real ones when undressed for any reason. The Palatine police department has only single-person holding cells. At the NCH hospital in Arlington Heights, all rooms a single-patient. Very binary situations...Check.
YMCA: No, we do not allow biological men in women's shower areas. Check.
Sororities are where the real problem is. At least one sorority admits trans "women" with balls and dicks. No surgery is necessary as a precondition. Women who complained were threatened with expulsion.
To prevent any moron here from wondering what business I have talking about sororities, here is my short answer: because I am a citizen, I pay taxes, and I have a 16-year-old granddaughter who will be out there in two years dealing with this bullsh*it. Her safety is more important to me than if Europe exists tomorrow.
In the process, I got a confirmation that asking is always better than persuading. When a state rep assistant assured me that there was nothing unfair about trans "women" competing in women's sports, I said: OK. I hereby self-identify as a woman. Do you want to arm wrestle for ten bucks? She didn't. Why? Because I can see you are a man.
Case closed.
