To ladies in locker rooms, trans females will forever appear males, males, males -- intractable instinct

By the age of six, women have it baked into them how they will relate to natal males for  the rest of their lives -- social instinct.

Transgender males can take all the hormones and have all the procedures they want to -- women (and men) cannot see them as females -- social instinct.

Maybe if male-to-female trans begin transition at the earliest possible age and take advantage of every available option (e.g., blocking puberty) they can get-by as not-very-much-male-left.  That is how I think I would see -- instinctively.

Maybe females could tolerate that.  Only way to find out is to experiment, I guess.

Meanwhile, maybe trans angst could be eased by suggesting to them -- in only the most helpful manner -- that they don't seem to feel to terribly if everybody else stays out of the ladies room or female lockers.  Maybe they can find some equivalence in that.  ???

ON A SILVER PLATTER

 Progressive folks these days sound like they are ready to work everybody to death, doing any and everything you can do in opposition to the Donald.

The best defense is a good offense:

Nothing could be easier to sell.  I think the idea would spread across country effortlessly -- maybe more like wildfire.  No need for charismatic national leadership.

Unions would pour billions into it -- but they needn't.  The Donald's loss of credibility should be cratering just about time for labor -- the REAL labor to come marching back.

Forget Donald and about just about every other issue we are concerned about.  We have to do this anyway or we will never deal well with anything else.  In Europe workers can organize at will -- ownership doesn't break all the rules at will.  If we want a European style social democracy we have to mandate union elections at every private workplace,

We can hand ourselves back our future on a silver platter.
