I’m actually gay, but thank you for assuming I don’t struggle with LGBTQ issues. :) Anyway, there is a difference between getting into an argument about socialism (happens at my work) and using the restroom that matches your identity. The former you don’t need, and the latter, at least where I’m at now, nobody would care at all.

And that’s not to say companies can’t make political decisions. Company policy for letting trans people use the restroom that matches their gender identity is fine because it’s not people arguing about Trump during lunch, it’s an official company policy. I just want my coworkers to stop getting into arguments about things that then make it really awkward to work with them.

UncleMeat didn't assume anything about you.

Things like who is allowed in the women's restroom, perhaps?

See, that’s the thing: nobody gives a crap who uses which bathroom at work. Really. Nobody argues about that. But arguing about policy or socialism or who is a real communist or not is not work-appropriate.
