Bigotry is not common sense. Common sense was in use prior to the bigotry that has happened and the lady in my OP is speaking up against.
Common sense means keeping your mouth shut and not inciting the person on that bus by not screaming at the bus driver to kick them off because they may be transgender or may just be a cancer patient. Because of your irrational belief that someone may be dangerous.
I urge blitzers and Nihilist_santa and daywolf to use common sense. Then we wouldn't have this kind of situation and bigotry and fear mongering and we won't need laws discriminating against anyone or making woman in general feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
When I moved in to my new house I could have accused the guy from the shelter down the street covered in Nazi SS tatoos of stealing our new stove and busting out our windows among a few other things. But I exercised my common sense and didn't confront the young man about his tatoos. I just accepted that he was willing to help my sister get rid of some of her unneeded things and donate them to the shelter. I didn't report him to the police or FBI or accuse him of raping woman in bathrooms. I didn't run around posting signs or lobbying my mayor to shut down the shelter because the poor guy who likely ended up getting tats in prison had a rough life and may not know any better. I'm willing to give people wearing Nazi symbols on their skin the benefit of doubt. I'm not a clown and I look like an ordinary woman, more so then many of what you would "define as ordinary". Can you not at least afford me or someone like me the same consideration?
Thanks for making America Great.
