I thought trans people usually wore clothes.

I take off my skin suit every now and then when it itches

Did I read that right?

“Her eldest child came out as trans then non-binary”, so does she hate her own child?

She became vocal AFTER her own child came out? What a monster!

[–] incompetent@programming.dev 16 points 1 hour ago

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I agree.

What even is her point? Is she afraid of AMAB people seeing girls undress because they might be attracted to them? Because, if so, I have news for her about lesbians.

The only way to fix that is to give everyone privacy. Which you probably should be doing anyways.

SHE is the bad news for lesbians.

Group showering is an institutional practice, providing for the health of the worker, with little consideration to his/her own desires or comfort. Jails/mines/factories have historically required showering to make sure they could keep working.

Schools are modeled after these institutions. The powerful people of this country see people as economic assets, and nothing else.

I'm not normally one to body shame, but her internal ugliness is showing

She does have a point that it's weird we make teens change clothes, get naked, and shower as a group.

Like, it would be less weird if they did it as children. But waiting until some kids start going thru puberty and then making everyone strip together while an inevitably creepy gym teacher watches with too much interest....

The whole thing is fucking weird.

Like, why can't shower stalls include a changing stall?

Everyone's happy, and nobody's looking or being looked at

Seems like a ridiculously easy problem to solve.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Y'all's showers had stalls?

Some of the high school showers I used were vertical pipes with shower heads pointing horizontally kind of spiraled up to the top. That way like 6 guys could share a shower area that would only be big enough for one guy. At my school we had normal (I guess) open showers with a showerhead and valve handle every 4 feet or so. With those verticle pipe ones just about the whole team could shower at once in the amount of space we used to shower 6 guys in our locker room. Very efficient?

And people ask why I never play sports

You know, some cultures are not ok with nudity like they. In those places, you give children the respect and privacy they deserve.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.

? . . . okay, so had she continued she'd have been naked (presumably) and . . . ? what.

Several people would have vomited.
