I don't condone anything in the video. I don't condone the women holding that poster in that transgenders face and I certainly don't condone violence but then this crowd was but a small handful of people and isn't reflective of society as a whole, including transgender men and women amongst us.
I've spent a portion of my life in France where, although male and female public toilets have little fem and masculine signs on the door, nobody takes much notice. A woman doesn't bat an eyelid if there's a man using the female loos and vice-versa. In the UK its very different but for me personally, it doesn't bother me.
If a trans woman can't use a female toilet, even though she looks fully female, where is she to go? and if she can't use a female toilet, does that mean female to males trans can't use male toilets?
The rapist in the prison thing is a concern; whatever were they thinking. Perhaps we do need to have transgender facilities in prison. Putting a female to male transgender in a male prison would be foolish and putting a sex offending male in a female prison is just stupid, but in the most part, transgender prison segregation would be for the transgenders safety.
The problem isn't transgender in my opinion. When I worked in the clubbing world in London, we often used to end up at a place called Stunners. When everything was packed away at 5am in the morning, we'd stop off at Alice's cafe (attached to Stunners) in Cable street to get a Bacon sandwich. This place was always buzzing with very dolled up transvestites who dressed up to the nines on a Saturday night but mostly dressed as blokes and did blokey jobs through the week. Many were married and used this promiscuous place as a secret pass time. Whilst I have nothing against a persons kink (providing its consensual and legal), I don't for a minute think 'shehe's' should have the same privileges transgenders have. Transgenderism isn't a kink, its a chosen lifestyle and something we should look at with the seriousness it deserves. The problem is, there are a lot of 'shehe' hobbyists and when we are using public female facilities and a female who looks obviously manish uses them, we don't know if she's a true transgender (I don't regard an operation as proof) or someone who just fancied dressing up as a female today. When I watched that video, a lot of the 'supposed transgender women' looked like men. I think its much more likely the majority were a very vocal bunch of transvestites. From my experience in the bowels of Londons clubbing scene, transvestites can be just as aggressive as the next man because they still have all those male hormones ripping through their veins. Transexuals tend to be quietly spoken and inobtrusive and don't generally like bringing attention to themselves.
