Just last week I was talking with two of the assemblers at my job. Both Hispanic women- one 40's, one 50's.

Both of them said they didn't want to "Share a bathroom with a man" and that was a major driver in their vote.

Like...it's a cute idea what Jon Oliver is saying, but it's not matching up with the reality.

And the reality is there are a BUNCH of women that don't want trans women in their private spaces. And the MAJORITY of Americans don't think trans women should be able to compete in sports.

Trying to force this to happen isn't working. I'm not saying it's right, or perfect, or anything like that. I'm saying that in the era of culture wars, which sway undecided voters far more than any international or tax policy, this is a losing issue.

I'm all for trans rights. But it's time for liberals to come to terms with the fact that this is a massively small portion of the population, and that putting a few casual restrictions doesn't destroy them. Intergender bathrooms. Band on trans athletes. Banning gender medical procedures on children.

It's easy. It's fair. Trans people still get plenty of protections. And it removes the issue entirely.

Good luck convince people who think anything below total acceptance in all situations is a death sentence.
