Folks need to recognize how much transphobia is driving the debate over the girl dad in the women’s washroom.
People have been so conditioned to hate and fear trans people that they now see bathrooms as a “sacred space” such that they will endanger kids to prove a point.
This is where hate and division lead.
A few years ago no one would have thought twice about a man bringing his two young daughters into the women’s washroom.
But years of trans hatred and fear mongering mean people believe only “women” can access that space.
People think those two young girls should have been taken into the men’s washroom despite the fact they would have been exposed to male nudity and possible aggression.
The girl dad did the right thing.
Anyone saying otherwise is pushing a narrative.
If a man wants to hurt us, he doesn’t need an excuse to enter our washroom.
He will just force his way in.
This particular incident proved that.
The girl dad asked permission. He checked with an employe

This particular incident proved that.
The girl dad asked permission. He checked with an employee. He had a reason to be there.
The straight male aggressor did not.
He forced his way in.
Traumatized the two young girls.
Caused a scene.
Abused local police services.
He was the predator, and he chose to access a “women’s only space”.
Trans people are not the enemy.
Girl dads are not the enemy.
It’s a false flag.
I’ve been the victim of sexual assault and I can honestly say I’ve never feared a trans person.
I’ve been in washrooms with trans women, drag queens and girl dads…I’ve never feared for my safety.
Stop allowing political rhetoric to cause division.
We can be better than this.
