Question: Thought we should get an actual measure of Atlas on this topic
#1
Transgenderism is completely made up
#2
Transgenderism is a mental illness and should be treated as such - no reassignment surgery or recongization of a new gender should be provided
#3
Transgenderism is a fully real thing and we should treat people according to their new gender, although allowing them into their new gender's bathroom or locker room may be too risky
#4
Transgenderism is a fully real thing and we should treat people according to their new gender, including in terms of bathroom and locker room access

I don't know any trans people IRL and I still have a hard time understanding it. I know plenty of gay/lesbian people, including family. It's a tough situation - everyone should be comfortable in their own skin. I encourage adults who know they have the wrong sex at birth to get reassignment procedures, for their own comfort and happiness.

As for the bathroom debate, go to Europe. Public restrooms are unisex with lockable doors. No reason we can't do that here more and defang the debate, which has reasonable concerns on both sides

Far from a universal thing; common in small places like restaurants or wee cafes where you have no space so having two separate toilet rooms is the best use of space and at that point why bother gendering them (although lots of places still do, it baffles me) but lots of public conveniences are gendered and big multi-cubicle rooms.

They seemed pretty universal in bigger public accommodations in Sweden (department stores, train station, etc)
