This has always been the point.

It has never been about which restroom trans people use, it was always been about being able to harass and vilify trans people.

The right doesn't want to just enforce gender binary, they want to erase anything and anyone that falls outside it.

American freedom is about getting arrested when peeing in the wrong public bathroom.

[-] [email protected] 64 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Don't expect any logic from regressives. What they want is not for trans people to use a specific bathroom. They want all trans people dead.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

having talked to some, they seem to want trans people detransitioned. Which is somehow more disgusting.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Thats only their current public agenda. Trans people not existing at all is their end goal though, and every step on that path they will keep going further until there are death camps

[-] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Trans death camps are not something I can envision in today's political climate, but if the west tilts irreversibly into fascism it's quite possible.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

So that's slightly better than wanting them dead I guess

[-] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

Its really worse actually.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

It's effectively the same, but a slower more painful death.

They dont care what bathroom a person uses. It's not about the restroom ... it's about legal harassment.

Also ... what the fuck are people doing to get gender checked and arrested? There is no law about obeying the gender sign (at least not in my state or any state I have been in). Is walking into the wrong bathroom a crime or something?

[-] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago

The bar owner harassed them personally. They charged them with trespassing and public intoxication, despite the fact they consumed no alcohol and were not breathalyzed.

Fuck these corrupt police, and fuck that bar owner.

Hopefully when MAGA falls out of fashion in 3.5 years there is still enough time for lawsuits and punishment.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Fascism doesn't fall out of fashion

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

good luck with that one.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

It has increasing been made a crime in various states to various degrees. See the woman who was arrested in the Florida statehouse and the college bathroom ban in Ohio.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Dystopian. That's fucked.

[-] [email protected] 243 points 2 days ago

Once again, the point is to harass trans people out of public life altogether.

This isn’t about logic or fear, it’s hate and domineering. They’re nazis. No excuses.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago

Yeah. This kinda stuff might help sway some people but for the fascists drafting these bills, this is not a contradiction. The bathroom they want trans people to use is none. They want trans people to not exist.

Republican laws working as Republicans intend.

Cruelty and oppression was always the point.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

We all knew this would happen.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

None of this would happen if we just did it in public. Just saying. /s

[-] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Oh, no, not falling for this one again. I just got off the list.

[-] [email protected] 58 points 1 day ago

This is dumb as f.

Just make all male bathrooms gender neutral. Bam crisis averted.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It's not dumb. It's exactly what they want: to remove trans people from public spaces entirely.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I would consider arbitrary rules that are intentionally impossible to follow based on hate is very very dumb.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

i once took a shit in a unisex bathroom in a park in portland…
oddly enough, it was exactly like taking a shit in any other bathroom…

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Changing only men's bathrooms is just asking for backlash. Just make every toilet an individual unisex half bathroom with floor to ceiling walls and doors. A toilet, a sink, and a mirror. No more silent mode shits, no more pee shyness. If raising the national minimum wage only made products go up by a few cents some bathroom construction loans will barely do the same. I'll pay an extra 10 cents for my burrito... Oh that's right they already have individual bathrooms. Airports, malls, amusement parks, stadiums, music venues? ¯\(ツ)/¯ get gud

I know this is the least bad part of the story, but it stuck out anyway:

After a lengthy drive to the bar, Strobel said he stepped inside to use the men’s room. However, there were no stalls—only urinals, rendering it inaccessible to him as a trans man.

Precisely where are men supposed to shit in this establishment?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

That's what sinks are for

They're obsessed with trans women.

That trans men also exist breaks them.

This would never have happened had a trans woman entered the men's.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

I wouldn't be surprised if this idiot of a bar owner doesn't even realize trans men exist and assumed this dude was amab and female identifying or something.
