    It’s such a weird thing to focus on. How many of your (or my) family members are competing in sports? I have a few, but they’re co-ed adult leagues, so who the hell cares.

    And nobody looks at each other in bathrooms. I’ve seen literally dozens of women use the men’s bathroom in my life. We don’t care. She goes to a stall, I go to a urinal, I wash my hands, I leave, I never see her again

      It’s a defense tactic. They are confronted with potentially upsetting threats to their hate world views and so they immediately shut down and pivot to comfortable territory.
