    Um the sign is literally about safety for all people with genders specifically mentioned. Bathrooms in public are relatively dangerous for trans people, hence the comment. Like if you want safety and respect for people, and then refuse to help them, you actually just want someone else to sort out the world you’re making more dangerous.

    Also literally yes I do, I live near a bushwalk exit that’s popular, and have had a few knocks on the door by people busting or thirsty and I do help them because I’m not a horrible human who wants to watch someone shit themselves or pass out from heatstroke. What else could I do? If I wont who will. Would it be nice if the council put in a tap, bins, and a dunny? sure. In the meantime I will treat people who ask for a trivial bit of assistance with the decency and respect they deserve.

      Ain’t nobody stopping you from going in and asking politely.

      If you’re concerned about your gender identity being a problem in securing a bathroom and you say that to whoever employee you find, odds are you’re gonna be allowed to use the restroom anyway.

      What they’re trying to avoid is hateful people coming in, taking a dump on the floor, and then smearing a shit MAGA or TRUMP on the walls.
