Back in 2018, a homeless shelter in California was sued by a group of homeless women who were sexually harassed at the shelter. One of the conditions of staying there is a daily shower which homeless women attend in groups. The shelter allowed a “trans woman” to join the showering. The “trans woman” then proceeded to harass the naked and terrified women. And they couldn’t refuse the shower altogether because then they’d be back on the street.
The homeless women lost their lawsuit on civil rights grounds. The shelter is legally obligated to accept men and let them into female showers at all times. Men have a civil right to force themselves into the presence of naked women. Women, on the other hand, have no civil right not to have men harass them and wave their penises at them. (Curiously, no “trans men” are eager to erupt into places filled with naked men. It’s a mystery how that works.)
This is why Christopher Caldwell says that we have turned the civil rights legislation into an alternative constitution and it made our original constitution quite irrelevant. It’s now all about who can wrangle out the most bizarre of “right” based on the most successful victimhood claims. And it’s all insanely fluid because exactly at the time when the homeless women were being harassed at the shelter, we were all being #MeTooted out of existence and daily heard claims of harassment that were nothing compared to the horror experienced by the homeless women.
