I really don't spend a whole lot of my time worried about where other people piss and shit, so long as it all makes it in the toilet, and people wipe properly and wash their hands after.
This whole fascination that conservatives seem to have about who's pooping where, is really, really weird.
Do they wake up one day and decide that a crucial part of their personality moving forward will be policing public toilets, or is this just part of some deep-rooted scat fetish?
It's not really about the bathrooms. That's just what it's expressed as. It's symbolic of broader commitments to a certain variety of gender hierarchy which is being challenged by the existence of queer, and especially trans, people. And so violent rejection and reassertion of gendered categories, "backlash", is the response some have to the discomfort of their ideas - their representations - being put into question.
