The Man in the Women’s Bathroom

The Man in the Women’s Room, and Why He Can Stay There.

We must know, she insists. “Gender just can’t be a feeling,” she says at the end of the blog article. “There has to be science to it. DNA, genitals, amount of Sephora make up on your face, pick your poison. … I’m sorry it can’t just be a feeling when there’s but a mere suggestion of a door with a peep hole separating your eyes from my vagina or my children’s genitals.” Full Article

There has to be a science to it, says Quintrail. We need some objective way to tell men (however defined) from women if transgendered people can use the private space of their choice.

But what science can you have when the society and the law treat sex and gender as choices? You can’t have a science when the choices have no agreed outward signs.

This kind of thing makes even a restroom a contested space. It makes the classic “safe space” unsafe.

It leaves Quintrail and the other women in that women’s room feeling they can’t eject a pervert who wants to watch them.

The latest recommendations from the FDA do not go far enough,” Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick (PA–8) said in a released statement concerning the FDA’s approval of a new boxed warning for Essure, “a boxed warning and patient checklist highlight the severe risks of Essure—but they’re not legally enforceable requirements.”

Last year, Rep. Fitzpatrick introduced a bipartisan bill in Congress called the E-Free Act which would circumvent the FDA and ban the Essure device outright.

“Tens of thousands of women have been harmed by this unsafe medical device, including hundreds of fetal deaths,” Rep. Fitzpatrick said in his released statement.
