You ever see the bathroom situation at a big event? I kind of like not having to wait in line an hour.
Honestly, if I have any reservations at all, it's from the notion that common definitions are somehow "oppressive", and that majority definitions must change to accommodate the few.
It's one thing to say "Feminity must change. Women could play football."
Or "Masculinity is too rigid. Men could bake."
But here we're saying "Definitions don't exist, why won't you accept our definitions."

Remember when we let men who were born men and who identify as men into any bathroom.
Well who defines what the same team is?
Why is it bigoted to define it by one category (sex), but progressive to define it by another (gender)?
Why is it bigoted to suggest transgender women could sexually assault women, but progressive to be concerned with cisgender men sexually assaulting women?
Why is it bigoted for a ciswoman to be uncomfortable with a transgender woman in the same bathroom as her, but perfectly natural for her to be uncomfortable with a cisman in the same bathroom as her?

I personally would like a unisex bathroom, for everyone.

Neither is bigoted, nor progressive. It's bigoted to assume ones genitals automatically mean a person needs to act a certain way and do certain things.It's bigoted when your concearn wants to prevent an entire group of people from using a bathroom. There's a possibility a cisgendered woman can assault another woman in the bathroom, as well. Hell, there's a possibility a cis man just follows a girl into a woman's bathroom and rapes her there(as has happened before). Should we just not make bathrooms a thing in public places now?
Being uncomfortable doesn't mean it should be illegal. I'm uncomfortable with Neo-Nazis having the right to express their homophobic, racist, misogynist point of views, but I cannot prevent them from doing so.

My problem really is the double think with some people who invest a lot of moral outrage and posturing into this issue but don't really take the logic to its conclusion.
I truthfully don't care much about the issue itself. Idgaf if all biological men or in my rest room, or everyone who identifies as a man, or everyone regardless of sex and gender identification.

The law doesn't care about your feelings. 😈
Seriously though, study the lawsuits behind this. It's fascenating stuff.
You'll start to ask, "Wait a minute, the guy suing the Boy Scouts of America for pushing religion at his 12 year old son is atheist. And he's a lawyer. And his 12 year old son is informed on his rights not to hear Christianity.
So why did this Atheist father send his Atheist son to an organization that's known for its Christian bias/roots again?
Oh, $120,000. That's why."
That's not something a website or newspaper reported. Just something I noticed, looking through cases.
i just have a problem with his whole "i think i'm [x] gender, therefore i am" mentality the new generation has. its ridiculous.
I could "identify" as a moose, but that doesn't actually make me a moose. same vein, a man can "identify" as a female all they want, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still biologically a male.
if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's not a ****ing kangaroo.
