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 5 days 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.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 5 days ago

Trans people are the 2025 jews.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 4 days ago

The original Nazis came for the trans folks before the Jews.

It's fucking disgusting how similar it is and how few people see it

True.

We talk often of the jews, but lgbt+ people, rom and Slavic people were also in the same troubles.

Talking about Trump and how much is in search of appreciation, I would love to show him what's books from the future will tell about him. The 00's American Hitler (well, until this point he will be probably prod), which all the people hates the most and which everybody will try to do not be associated.

And The Disabled! They were first of all groups IIRC.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

And TERFs/alt right conservatives are working to cover up/deny this.

I saw someone say that the Nazis invented the transvestite passes. That Nazis invented being trans.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

first it was intellectuals, but they fled, then its lgbtq+ then the jews at the final stage.

I think bathrooms are such a common issue with bigotry because shitting is a vulnerable state where in nature makes us vulnerable to tooth and claw type predators. Therefore it's a psychological shortcut to appeal to danger and panic.

Forgive me for making an evolutionary psych argument, but I feel comfortable that I'm not overreaching.

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 4 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days 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

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 4 days 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] 15 points 4 days ago

good luck with that one.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Fascism doesn't fall out of fashion

[-] [email protected] 18 points 4 days 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 4 days ago

Dystopian. That's fucked.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

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 5 days ago

That's what sinks are for

On the manager's desk would be ideal if you can get away with it

Thanks, much better than a meme.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

They really need to get bathrooms out of their gross heads.

[-] [email protected] 43 points 4 days ago

Republican laws working as Republicans intend.

Cruelty and oppression was always the point.

[-] [email protected] 58 points 4 days ago

This is dumb as f.

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

[-] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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 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] 10 points 4 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

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

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

The hate is always their point
