I think that most of us felt that this was the case, its nice to see that it's been validated by at least one poll.

“The adult dialogue we hear in the media often includes a lot of fear and guesswork about how this issue may impact children in schools,”

 

There is the old story of the philosophers who were trying to guess and reason out the number of teeth in a horse's mouth.  One young new member of the group suggested they get a horse, open its mouth and count the teeth.  The old buzzards kicked the young man out of the group and threw him off a cliff.  I hope that does not happen to this study.

Most people realize that everyone hates public bathrooms and just want to get done and get out. It’s a very rare kind of weirdo that is even remotely turned on by public bathrooms. I’m not saying that some aren’t cleaner than others but typically public bathrooms suck. The only few I’ve ever seen that smelled nice were in casinos and they didn’t have any children in them because kiddos typically don’t go to casinos. Sometimes people do overthink everything and have to create issues when in practice there’s no issue at all. @VickySGV unfortunately those philosophers represent the majority of older men who are making the decisions. Instead of just “counting the teeth” they have to come up with convoluted reasons to avoid common sense and justify their reason for existence. When anyone points out the obvious they do get angry and try to throw people “off the cliff”. I’d like to chalk it up to senility but I don’t want to give them any excuses. Everyone talks about term limits but what about age caps? It seems like the older these politicians get the worse their judgement. We need fresh ideas and people who are way more in touch with reality. Not just the same people who decided to take a few classes on what the hipsters are doing now. That’s just a good way to sound even more out of touch... and cheesy.

I'm not very surprised at the results.  As an older person i have a pretty good idea of the hangups of my generation.  Todays younger folks have had more contact and have heard more about trans folks so the fears and misunderstanding of my generation is fading.

Hope it keeps up!

Vicky, I’ve been pounding my head against the same brick wall for the last 7 years with people like that so I unfortunately know the type all too well. I’ve come to the conclusion that they have become very aware of their own mortality, so a side effect of that is denial, which tries to hang on to any semblance of power. Instead of accepting that they have lost power over certain aspects of their lives they project this frustration on everyone else, and whether by manipulation or just meanness, seek to have control over others in a scramble to hold their world together. Even when the changes they see are not a direct threat to them they perceive them as threats and then they can really become belligerent. Their favorite arguments are usually ad hominem and not really sound at all. And then they and their cronies pat themselves on the back for false bravado and the reward of still being able to verbally bully people. It’s a truly sad existence.
