My favorite version is: “I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”

Yeah that’s one of the best counter-arguments. The bathroom door or unlocked phone isn’t really a good example because that’s not the privacy issue those people need to be convinced they need.

The bathroom door analogy is kinda weird though.

Yes, I do have something to hide. Other people don’t need to see me wipe my ass. Normal people don’t even want to see that, because they have respect and decency. Weirdos who want to see that should not be allowed to. That’s why we have doors.

I'll have to reuse that one.
