True. But arguments over toilets can be solved by adding single-user unisex toilets, which is what we already have in places too small for more than one. As high as the murder rate is, I suspect transfolk would be safer in a single cubicle with a solid locking door than sharing a bathroom with anyone. And it's a lot easier to install a toilet than to convince bigots that other people have rights. By all means keep arguing, but if you want people to have a place to pee, unisex will go faster.

Nice for people who have options. My ticket here consisted of the Presidential candidates, a handful of local offices with only a single Republican candidate for each, and judges who could only be voted for or against. This fails my standards of a valid election, but nobody cares.
