Why not advocate to also remove lesbians from women's locker rooms too? Where is that outrage?
The discrimination goes way beyond locker rooms and you know it.
that's quite a conundrum. I can't speak for every man, but I will say, two dudes kissing is just yuk, but two girls going at it, is hot with two t's. Among men, I suspect there is a level of acceptance for one, that doesn't exist for the other.
The new locker room opened this week to enthusiastic response, said Steve Springsdorf, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo.
The new design is ideal for dads and and daughters, mothers and sons, kids in wheelchairs, transgender folks-- anyone for whom a conventional mass gender-specific shower area can present challenges, he said.
In addition to two unisex restrooms, the locker room features nine shower-changing areas, all compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Guys in dresses should not be the foundation for policy change.
No but discrimination should.
Who's being discriminated against?
Guys that want to get naked in girls locker rooms?
Good.
Those who have issues with it need to advocate for trans locker rooms. Society moves very slowly with changes.

There is no right that allows another individual to infringe upon the rights of others.
There just isn't.

If I had a choice between a lesbian ogling my body as a sex object with a proposition (harassment) coming vs. a transwomen maybe sneaking a peek for curiosity sake, then I'd choose the latter.

You are not getting my point.
There is no loss of rights.
There is no "right" if it infringes upon another individual.
This entire issue is to provide a "right to infringe", which creates an unequal society.

As a biological woman, Id way prefer the lesbians ogling me because I know they do not have a penis they could use as a weapon in closed quarters like a locker room. I think most biological women feel this. To be fair, Id almost guarantee that a transwoman who passes as a woman wants to be lady like and wont show off her privates in public. They arent the problem and never were, its the great free for all that can attract the seedier portion of the population and ruin womens sense of safety.

www.foxnews.com...
Kelley Robinson, who describes herself as the first queer, Black president of the Human Rights Campaign, was asked the question by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. Robinson said she couldn't "definitively" say males have an advantage over women in sports. Robinson then tried to use a "news article" about how some men believe they could beat Serena Williams in tennis.
As Robinson pointed that out, Riley Gaines noted that Williams and her sister, Venus, both lost to "lost to the 203rd-ranked male tennis player" more than a decade ago.
I encourage you to watch this exchange if you are interested in this topic. And I would encourage those of you who champion this ideology to speak with us, and not TO us, conversely, everyone needs to try to communicate better, and be more adult.
Ms. Robinson has a point in answering the way the question was asked. I am a dude, but fat and old, and I cannot compete with Riley Gaines. I am a good swimmer, and have swam on a team against others. But the level she is at, is miles away from where I was, when I was in my best shape.
But that isn't the argument here, it's about people at the top of their personal game. When you put a biological male who has trained at a sport and can compete in a professional setting, then to put that male up against a biological female, there will be distinct differences. The male will have an advantage. That isn't to say that in every case, the male wins, but the male body is made differently than the female body, and will excel in most sports. The entire argument is that just isn't fair and takes opportunities away from biological females who would have otherwise been the best at whatever sport she was competing in.
Now, if you watch this exchange, the part where it goes off the rails, is at the end, where Ms. Robinson claims that a Trans female "who is a real female"......OK full stop. A Trans female is a dude who thinks or wants others to think he is a female. He will always be a male. There is nothing he can change that will make him into a female. That just isn't how any of this works. It's not some "vast right wing conspiracy", or something mean I want to say just to "own the libs", it's a fact of life that everyone must accept as the truth. If you do not accept that, and somehow believe that a man can truly become a woman, you need to prove that through science. (remember, Trust the science)
If Trans people feel the deep desire to compete, then they should enact a third category for trans athletes. That way all trans people would compete against other trans athletes, and everyone is happy. If you are a biological man who transitioned to looking like a woman, then you can compete against other men, or be in the trans category. Same for the other side of that. This is a tiny fraction of society and while NOBODY should be singled out and persecuted, this group did make this happen by choice, brought all the attention on themselves, by these actions, and is forcing that something be done to keep sports fair and to protect women's sports.
If you feel differently, please be polite and you will be shown equal politeness in return.

Then it comes down to the right to NOT be discriminated trumps infringement but temporarily because, again, society moves very slowly and the locker room issue is not addressed. Next.

Sure you can call it that, but is it discrimination when we don't allow smoking indoors?
Is it discrimination when we don't allow surgeons with crack addictions to perform surgery?

Discrimination against someone violating another's individual rights.
Title IX prohibits sex discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal funding in primary, secondary and higher education. The most visible changes were seen in sports, thanks in part to the adoption of an intercollegiate athletics policy in 1979 that entitled women to the same athletic opportunities as their male counterparts.
Last year, the Biden administration proposed new rules, which are expected to be finalized in May, that would extend Title IX protections to transgender students by expanding the definition of “sex” to include “stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.”
The rule announced this week would take that rule one step further and create a separate framework for transgender athlete participation for all schools that receive federal funding.
