The trans thing is fading. Anything but redesign public restrooms. The incorporation of filthy pee-splattered urinals and stalls that don't go floor-to-ceiling and leave your ankles exposed is so important to our society, what would we do without them. Basically all vaguely pragmatic concerns with transgender people could be solved by a (imo long-overdue) facilities redesign. The rest is just bigotry, which engineering can't address. > Nowadays people don't have to conform to traditional gender roles, but > many choose to because that's what they are. > > All good. > > > John Larkin > Highland Tech Glen Canyon Design Center > Lunatic Fringe Electronics Surprising number of conservative men seem to either want to become "good with women", or invest significant time thinking and speculating about what women who aren't their wives are up to. It seems like a strange set of activities for men whose ideology instructs them to find one woman, marry her, have children and stay with her for life. They don't need to be "good with women" or think about what women in general are up to. Not relevant to the task at hand.
