Letter: Discomfort is not risk
I respectfully disagree with Jonah Wheeler’s position on HR148. First, “safety” is used as an argument for having bathroom use restricted to the gender assigned at birth. I strongly suspect that transgender women forced to use a male bathroom face a far greater risk of physical and emotional violence from anti-trans males than do cis women encountering transgender women in a women’s bathroom. People may feel uncomfortable, yes, but this is not the same as risk.
