Well, I don't really agree with your generalizations. I think that some girls do and some don't, some boys do and some don't, some adults do and some don't, and they can certainly be as uncomfortable around naked women as men. All of those feelings are certainly valid; I think it's up to people to decide what they and their kids can handle.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:55 pmGirls feel uncomfortable around random men’s penises,SallyMae wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:34 pmWhat I want to know is, what are the terrible consequences of seeing a dick that are so psychologically damaging (for girls, not boys) that it must be prevented at all costs, even at the cost of discriminating against trans people?jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:32 pm With the policies being be as modest as possible and also expect very temporary nudity, a 12 year old actually seeing a dick is odds-defying lol.
In a way that they’re not uncomfortable if a 70 year old naked woman is in the locker room.
Why? Because of the way we evolved as humans really… the instinctual reasoning probably goes back THAT far…
Either that’s just something you accept as the way some people feel, or you don’t think their feelings are valid and attempt to deny them the social ability to challenge what is being normalized.
But, even supposing a parent misjudged, you would have to show that some kind of actual harm could occur as a result of this exposure. Feeling uncomfortable for a moment is a part of growing up that is caused by millions of things every day and it's nothing to be afraid of. In the absence of harm, it's not a reason to discriminate against trans people.
ETA: I also don't agree that it's just evolved human behavior - many human groups have much less stricture about nudity throughout the lifetime and it's perfectly healthy.
