The transwoman who exposed her penis in front of other Wi Spa customers has been charged with public indecency. The whole thing raises lots and lots of questions with no easy answers to be found.
Inadequate, but courtesy is the lubricant of a functioning society.
Example. I am a straight man, relatively attractive for my age.
I have been approached a couple of times by gay men. I turned them down with the courtesy that I hope to get from women when they turn me down (happens more than I like).
Anger is rarely an appropriate response.
I suspect that there are many predators (both sexual and social); they may need a firmer response.
But there is a shortage of both courtesy and compassion in our world.
Many will comment on the weakness of my lament, but anger is always available.
Hate to even make this point, but it's important to this story- she wasn't just exposing genitalia, she was exposing erect genitalia. In front of a 6 year old. It's really unfortunate that a few creeps and creepers do stuff like this and make things more difficult for other trans people.
They only have uni- toilets in Sweden. But a penised person walking around the sauna or spa with a semi would probably get into trouble in any Scandinavian country. The female equivalent would a woman fingering herself - not a pretty sight in a non-sexual environment.
Erik. Look at some of these comments, man. This is why I can’t get exercised about “woke-ism”, or SJW’s or antifa. Fascism and bigotry are on the march in this country. You are a good writer with interesting things to say but good luck trying to thread this needle. Regressive voices have found a home in your comment section.

Let's try courtesy first.

Oof. Equating antifa and fascists is some painful what-about-ism.
