Similar findings have been made in the US.There are some Liberal MPs dismayed at Taylor's embrace of this particular "fight".Perhaps they might direct him to the observations and first-hand experience of US Congresswoman Sarah McBride to make their alternate case.McBride, a Democrat from Delaware who is the first openly trans person to be elected to Congress, has been banned from using single-sex bathrooms on Capitol Hill that match her gender identity.In an interview earlier this year, she acknowledged the presence of a transwoman in a female bathroom might make someone "uncomfortable".But she added, "discomfort alone is not grounds to exclude people"."If it were, then we'd have a long list of people who feel uncomfortable with other kinds of people in spaces where they feel a little bit more vulnerable Everyone feels a little bit vulnerable in a rest room," she said.McBride said even if a person had "academic or intellectual" disagreement about gender identity and sex, it didn't negate the existence of trans people."At the end of the day we have to decide, how do we treat people who exist," she said.Voters for whom transgender issues are a defining political concern already have a political home in One Nation and are unlikely to shift simply because the Coalition has moved closer to their position.Meanwhile, every minute spent debating bathrooms, pronouns and gender identity is time not spent prosecuting arguments about living standards, housing affordability and economic insecurity — the very issues helping fuel populist sentiment.At a time when Hanson is expanding beyond cultural grievances into economic ones, Taylor is fighting One Nation where it is strongest rather than where it is vulnerable.
