(LifeSiteNews) — In our era of overnight cultural change, it has become possible to watch activists change the narrative and rewrite history in real time.
For example, as the transgender movement insists that biological males be permitted access to female-only spaces (the reverse is true, too, but less controversial for once-obvious reasons), we are witnessing a flurry of questions asking why, exactly, girls and boys need their own bathrooms and changerooms to begin with. A sampling of headlines:
“Why do we have men’s and women’s bathrooms anyway?” – TIME magazine “The Weird History of Gender-Segregated Bathrooms” – Live Science “How did bathrooms get to be separated by gender in the first place?”—the Guardian
(That one came with a great lede: “The ‘natural’ separation of men and women in these spaces arose less than 200 years ago, as part of a pervasive ideology of separation and dominance.”) “Why are bathrooms segregated by sex in the first place?” – The Huffington Post “Who’s afraid of gender-neutral bathrooms?” – the New Yorker
