Transgender Muslim Conundrum

Did Sweden Accidentally Discover A Way To Convince Progressives To Keep Men Out Of Women’s Locker Rooms?

Sweden prides itself on transgender tolerance and feminism but recently Swedish feminist have been having quite a disagreement over a rather silly issue.

From The Christian Science Monitor: For decades, Swedish city swimming pools have operated mixed-gender pools, but by adding women-only hours, officials are hoping to accommodate the country’s growing Muslim population.

And that is raising a much larger issue for Sweden. Should the native population adjust to immigrant groups’ different lifestyles by accommodating women-only swimming and the like, thus providing access to Muslim newcomers who would otherwise not feel comfortable in gender-equal conditions? Or does the implementation of such segregation, however well intended, ultimately undermine the country’s hard-earned traditions of gender equality.

Many Swedes are no longer sure. “During the past several years, we’ve had several Muslim women come and swim,” says Stockholm resident Carolina Johansson, who has gone to women’s-only sessions at a local swimming pool for the past 20 years. “But gender-separated swimming doesn’t feel like a positive development.”

The separate swimming hours have cause an enormous debate in Sweden, with many calling the move regressive and a ghettoization of women, while others laud it as a sensible inclusion of the country’s increasingly diverse population. This month Sweden’s democracy minister, Alice Bah Kuhnke, told Swedish TV that gender-segregated swimming hours – as the system is often referred to – are problematic and called mixed-gender swimming “a victory after many years and generations of gender-equality struggle.”

Simply put, many Swedish feminists don’t want Muslim women to feel uncomfortable with mixed gender swimming, so they are willing to totally change all the rules and allow segregation based on gender.

This could be a silver bullet for conservative Americans who don’t want transgender men invading women’s locker rooms and showering facilities. Of course, progressives in both America and Sweden don’t care that allowing an anatomical male to shower in the girls locker room offends Christians. Offending Christians is pretty much the point of being a progressive, but what if they realize that such transgender policies offend Muslims.

Progressives love to celebrate obscene sacrilegious art such as poop smeared paintings of the virgin Mary but the second someone tries to draw a caricature of Muhammad they scream bloody murder. You can’t do that, it offends Muslims!

Hey progressives, men in the women’s shower room offends Muslims! Progressives are intolerant of Muslims!
