Would the transphobe and transapathetic folks be okay if there was a “no penis display” etiquette in women’s locker rooms? Is that what you are clamoring for? It seems like women’s restrooms are a nonissue coz there is no reason to display your peepee to anyone else.
You can’t be honestly concerned about transwomen engaging in voyeurism when it’s extremely rare even amongst cis males and there is law already to deter that.
You don't understand what biological sex is. You confuse the nature of the phenomenon with the mechanisms that enable it. But all of this is just a diversion because you actually don't care about the nature of sex or science. You want to tie everbody into a mental pretzel so you can argue that men with penises and testicles can walk around in the women's locker room if they say the magic words.
Don’t worry about me, you don’t understand what you are even advocating. A couple of us asked you repeatedly, but you can’t define what a woman is or exactly who should be allowed or not in women’s bathrooms. Come back when you understand your position enough to articulate it.
You've convinced yourself that there is a nuanced definition of woman. There isn't.
You appear to want others to buy into your convoluted thinking. When they don't, you dismiss them as ignorant.
Please oh wise one, define woman. Bet you won't. Why? Because as soon as you stand for something you lose your ability to baselessly criticize others.
Like I said, anything that isn't xx vagina, XY penis, falls into a 3rd category. The topic of this conversation isn't intersex, it's trans, specifically Lia Thomas, who is XY penis and does walk around locker room with junk hanging out.
I don't think anyone cares if trans people who have undergone surgery use the restroom that their new body parts match. But stop acting liking like female isn't objectively XX vagina, and male isn't objectively XY penis. You think you are so clever because there are intersex people. Isn't doesn't change anything, other than introduce a 3rd category.
Please don’t worry about my perception of my cleverness. You have amply demonstrated your idiocy and lack of knowledge of the subject matter by jumping in to try to answer a question that wasn’t even being asked of you with an answer that is neither internally consistent nor complete.
You can go fight with GD and T. Verbosa and others who don’t think there are more than two categories. I’m uninterested in educating silly “XX vagina is female” simps.
It's interesting that you refuse to accept sex characteristics, or chromosomes, or a combination of the two as what defines female, male, or intersex.
Do you refute the suggestion that XX chromosomes with vaginas are female? Can you use any kind of objective or scientific standard to demonstrate that a female with with the aforementioned is actually a male? Just one scientific or objective argument for how XX female with female sex characteristics is not a female? You can't provide one, because it doesn't exist.
This entire argument is about biological males and females. It has nothing to do with intersex. You can't come up with one single argument for why Lia Thomas should compete with females, or change in front of females, other than " you can't define female because some people are intersex." And then hurling insults at people who continually prove that you actually can define objective female characteristics in many many ways...."but some people are intersex."
Did you know that doctors can perform ultra sounds on children in the womb, and tell you if it's male or female. How do they do that? Is it magic? ..."but some people are intersex." Yeah we know, and this argument about Lia Thomas has nothing to do with them. Because Lia Thomas is objectively, by every scientific measurement, irrefutably a male.

1. You've moved the goal posts. The original post was about a trans athlete exposing male genitalia in a women's locker room. You've changed it to a women's restroom, because you think it fits convoluted your argument better. It doesn't.
2. You honestly believe the answer is to post a "no penis display" sign?
3. Do you really think it's a voyeurism issue?
4. Do the actual women get a say in this? If they feel uncomfortable or unsafe, is your answer "we posted a no penis sign"?
So back to Lia: do you think Lia and other males like Lia should be using women's locker rooms, ladies' loos and other spaces designed and meant for females like rape refuges and what used to be known as "battered women' shelters"?
I have to remind you that it was RunRagged who moved the goal post by including the restroom into the discussion.
Let's just focus on the locker room issue, because no one is suppsoed to show their genitalia in a public restroom.

You may continue with your insults now.
This blah isn’t worth my attention. Don’t attribute to me anything except by quoting my text.

In other words you agree with the vast majority that Lia Thomas should not be competing against females, and he is objectively male.

Sell your nonsense elsewhere.
I don’t have a reason to define “woman” or care to unlike the transphobes because I don’t think sex is a strict binary. I’ve stated my position on the bathroom issue pretty clearly in this thread.
I don’t care to convince anyone else because the prevailing laws (or lack thereof) are acceptable to me.
520 posts and nobody has changed anyone’s mind about this. It as almost as if everyone posting here is pissing into the wind.
It’s coz most folks here don’t actually know what they are clamoring for that is legally and practically implementable in a free country, so they are just venting like old people who are forced to adapt to changing times.
Would the transphobe and transapathetic folks be okay if there was a “no penis display” etiquette in women’s locker rooms?
TBH, I'd be okay with a "no penis display" in all locker rooms.
I suspect the peniled transwomen might be okay too with that etiquette provided everyone was nice about it, ie no one harasses anyone for brief flashes of nudity while taking their towel off and putting their underwear on, and recognizes that they are beneficiaries of a privilege, not a right to expect to see peniled transwomen always covered (unless the covering etiquette applied to all women).

Part of the problem is virtually all of the posters here either haven't been in a locker room in 30 years or have never been in one at all. The sight of a transman without bottom surgery in a men's locker room would arouse some concern. Reaction. I KNOW that there are transmen in my gym but none use the men's locker room OR the women's locker room.
In 2022/3, a fitness facility that didn't provide private facilities for non-binary (can we agree that a woman with a full size penis and testicles is non-binary!!) would be in violation of several laws.
Although this ethical rabbit hole is about locker room access I haven't lost sight of the prize. The preservation of women's swimming sports for cisgender women was a fight worth having. If it's transphobic to say "no, you cannot compete against unequivocally female athletes if you have definable male characteristics, oh well. Guilty as charged.
Dr.Phil may be a rerun today but I am going to watch it with an open mind.
Not, dudes don't belong in women's sports.
After hearing what Carole Hooven had to say I am convinced more than ever that dudes don't belong in women's sports. Need to check out her book called T.
