#(and like it's weird how people treat single-sex restrooms like they're temples that are sacred and not... restrooms)

It's actually odd to me sometimes when transphobes are so transphobic that they'll do away with things that would benefit them.
Like take, for instance, renovating restrooms to being unisex, but also renovating them so that they're floor-to-ceiling stalls that actually lock. I've been to plenty of single-sexed restrooms that don't have locking stalls, or you could actually see through the cracks between the stall and the door, which is pretty asinine if those stalls are for privacy. It's actually rare, in my experience, to find non-dilapidated restrooms where every stall can lock, so I fail to see how single-sex restrooms are safer than unisex ones that actually prioritize privacy and safety. There's this idea that single-sex means safe, and if you've ever been visibly trans/GNC/intersex, you'll know exactly what I mean when I mention the "Bathroom Problem."
That is what I mean when I say people are so invested in transphobia and intersexism that they'd rather do away with anything that would remotely benefit us (and them). The cruelty is the point. While I use the restroom problem as an example, it is by no means where people stop the discussion.
