My Dad didn’t get it either until I showed him pictures of a friend of mine who looks very much like a man, and is in fact, a trans man.

I knew this particular trans man when he was a feminine lesbian, and knew him the entire journey through the transition since it was public knowledge in our shared social circle at the time.

Since then, the old social media has been erased and you wouldn’t know if you didn’t know.

I said I’m fine going to the bathroom with my friend either way. But he’s going to get called out going to women’s room now.

I said what I’d been saying, it’s always been illegal in living memory to assault people or peep in bathrooms. That’s not going to change. And having guards to check genitals is way worse than the current risk of running into a bathroom criminal.

He finally got it after seeing the photos though and dropped it.
