Taking away the freedom of movement from a targeted minority? Seems familiar.

"In addition to invalidating transgender residents’ state identification documents, the new law will require people in government-owned buildings to use restrooms and other multi-occupancy private spaces in accordance with their sex assigned at birth."

Please, PLEASE, do this. Get those real big hairy Bear ftms to go into the womens bathrooms and be all masculine. This will last all of 1 day until the ciswomen are severely pissed off and demand changing it back. I wish I was ftm and big, bearded, and hairy all over, just to see the looks on conservative womens' faces as they really rethink their values.

    I fully share the "burn it down" sentiment. Trans men get beaten for doing exactly this. A trans man was beaten for using the women's restroom because it was the only one with a toilet..

    I know the trans-masc community knows not to put themselves in danger for this. No one's going to "prove" anyone wrong. All that will happen is the people who want trans people dead will get trans people dead.

    In same camp of supporting the sentiment, I played this out in my head.

    Okay, but what if they’re open carrying a large gun?
    [Bad outcome]

    Okay, what if they open carry and have a body camera (that they turn off while in the restroom, obviously)?
    [Bad outcome and ignored by media - bad outcome]

    Okay, what if there’s a group that’s open carrying and have body cameras?
    [Bitch, did you just determine they had to form a militia to go to the bathroom away from home? Sigh.]

    I don’t know the solution, other than for people to mind their own fucking business.

    You are not the first person to say this.

    And as I understand it, trans men are as a group kida sick of being volintold to put themselves in harms way. It's great that you recognize that they are men and are treated as such in your "men should do danger" sexism, but don't suggest someone else do what you're not willing to do yourself.

    Get few skirts and maybe some makeup, dress yourself in drag, and then make a habit of asking every restaurant or shopping mall or store what bathroom you should use.

    (Sure, you'd likely get harassed and banned and maybe arrested, but there's a minority being oppressed and standing beside them is what strong allies do.)

    Sadly, this is what they want. They want that to happen so MAGAt women can falsely accuse those ftms of assaulting women in the restrooms and mobs of MAGAt men can then attack them and beat them half (or more) to death for using the women's restroom.

    Better still. Cis women with strong jawlines should dress like they're men in drag, and go looking for bathrooms. Then absolutely freak out and make a huge scene in public when they get challenged.

    There are so many places in 'Murica that genuinely seem to want to be remembered badly by history

    The right wing keeps thinking if we just remove these people it will be better, when that doesn't work, they move on to a new group over and over again until you're the group that's causing the problem and they remove you.

    Next up, gays, women, people who speak Spanish, college graduates, left handed people and red-heads.

    Even if that doesn’t happen, isn’t this bad enough? Fighting this shouldn’t be contingent on it potentially happening to other groups.

    Every lawmaker who voted for this is guilty of treason.

    Blue states like Colorado should be making it easier for people stuck in the shithole states like Kansas to get CO driver's licenses with accurate gender markers

    Maybe the government should quit giving a fuck about gender on documents at all.

    Common names are easy to parse gender until they’re not. I just met an elderly man named Courtney. My niece’s legal name is “Jaime”, which is a common male name amongst Mexicans. My elementary school had a Pat of both genders. Sam as well.

    Then there are names from other cultures that speak non-Germanic, non-romance languages. Good luck knowing Mandarin or Cantonese names by reading them. Same with some Irish and welsh names. Same with names from Africa.
