An opportunity to become rich or a celebrity.Having said that, I wonder for how long Europe can maintain it's (relative) level-headedness in these matters as we see more and more American attitudes getting embraced as "the way to do it". Which, btw, would be absolutely fantastic as long as they'd focus on the many great   things America has to offer.Either way, I wonder if this is the reason why we aren't alway on the same wave-length in these kind of discussions.Right, it's a waste of time (and probably LOTS of money) to focus on overcorrection and things that don't need to be fixed.I guess that worked for the Brexit.It is normal to be concerned about terrorism like it was normal to be concerned about The Bomb back in the 1980s. It is normal to be concerned about guns and crazy mass-shootings.It's not normal to be concerned about the odd and obscure event of a fake or semi-trans entering a place specifically designed for women. There's no such thing as a flawless system no matter how many new laws you implement.As for the people who don't belong to the demography that needs to protected, they will only see it as yet another example of being told what they can and can't do, thus increasing the idea of walking on eggshells.It doesn't surprise me at all that something like this results in aggravation and confusion, and the sad irony is that they could backfire those negative feelings at the people who are supposed to be benefit from the new laws in the first place.Maybe it's time for a Gexit from the LGBT+ Union.</blockquote>
