(9,350 posts)The women's room seems to be the worst place to see women. What is so awesome about seeing women $hit and piss? Can someone explain to me why someone would want to see a woman's $hit caked a$$? Do these guys realize that women use restrooms in order to get rid of bodily waste? Yes, Republican men, women, although they piss in a different way than men, piss and $hit just like men. In addition, there are doors on women's restroom stalls, so I do not know what a man would see if he actually went into a women's restroom in order to look at women.
If a man, or a boy wants to see women, he would do better to try to find an old copy of a Playboy magazine, or some other type of nude magazine. A man, or a boy will not see more in a women's restroom then he would see just sitting in the store, or the school ground and watching women and girls walk by. Going to a beach would also be a better way to see women's bodies.

(24,437 posts)about what actually goes on in bathrooms. Speaking from personal experience, bathrooms are about as boring as they sound- and in the matter of some public restrooms, are places that should be avoided (or vacated as quickly as possible) as a matter of personal hygiene/public health safety. Most people typically just want to get in and do their business and leave. Don't know many people whom just want to sit around socialize much while eliminating bodily fluids. I don't what kind of restrooms wingnuts are visiting and what is going on in them but I don't really care to know either.

(24,437 posts)but you might want to be mindful of the fact that some Transgender persons are sensitive about their ability to pass as their identified gender.
*Though I'm fairly certain that Louie Gohmert is not one of them (neither Transgender as far as we know nor sensitive).

People who obsess over others' sexuality or behavior always seem to be coming from a place of dark shame regarding their own impulses.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,437 posts)the real reason that they think that other people would do something like this is because they would do it too? What does that tell us about what goes on in their minds? Idiotic statements like this also further prove that they have absolutely no f*****g clue what it really means to be Transgender.

(12,821 posts)Basically, he means he would have used it as an excuse if he got caught in the girl's room. Cuz that's pretty much what he must think of LGBTs: just a bunch of pervs lying to themselves and others so they can get away with something. Another fine example of Republican projection.

(141 posts)So he would have dressed in women's clothing to get into a stall next to a girl to do what exactly, assault her? So he's saying he would have assaulted women in the bathroom if given a chance, good to know he had aspirations of being a sex criminal.
I'm not sure if Gohmert is really this stupid or if his entire career has been one huge piece of performance art.

Somehow I would have thought something like that would be more Louie's style.
Wonder how the other members of his little 3 musketeer band - King and Bachmann - think of him now. Probably pretty proud.

(284 posts)That's fine let him go to a therapist, let him explain his feelings of dysphoria, have him receive a diagnosis as a transsexual, then let him start on female hormones permanently removing his ability to have children then lets talk what he is willing to do to get in a ladies room...

cynzke
(1,254 posts)Even IF there was a law that allowed transgenders to use the women's restroom, doesn't excuse ANY man to dress as a woman to sneak into the women's bathroom. That would STILL remain illegal, subject to ARREST and charges, possibly being designated as a sexual predator, on police records for a lifetime. CLAIMING to be transgender is not going to work for any man and NOT WORTH getting caught.

(32,731 posts)to waltz into women's bathrooms. They can just say they were born female, if confronted. Is anyone actually going to check genitals to confirm? I don't think so!
So while delusional rethugs worry about the highly unlikely scenario of a dude taking the time to dress in drag just to get to unsuspecting women in the bathroom, they've inadvertently given cover to actual pedophiles/rapists.

LeftyMom
(49,212 posts)Look, I know men's bathrooms have urinals so if you go in there you're gonna see dicks. Flaccid, peeing dicks. I'm a long time fan of dicks but let's just say that's not their most impressive work. So I guess the less clued-in men think there's some level of analogous nudity in women's bathrooms?
A women's bathroom is a row of stalls and a row of sinks. All there is to see is women washing their hands. No shame if you're REALLY into that, but really, you could stand in there all day long without seeing anything salacious.
