    wouldn't want you to make me uncomfortable

    How about sign a bill to have proper doors on stalls so no one can see you? Then it doesn’t matter.

    Can’t wait for all the dudes walking into the ladies room simply because of chromosomes. They never consider the reverse when dog whistling…

    The thing that gets me with this is, how is anyone to know?

    If you present as the gender on the door, what are they going to do? Rip your pants down and check? Cop a feel? That’s assault. Peep through the stall? Pretty sure that’s a misdemeanor, most places.

    I get the idea behind this is terror, but “Fuck off! I’m shitting here!” should be the only response anyone should get to a nosy question in the bathroom.

      Well considering that one woman literally pulled another woman’s skirt down (not all the way) because she felt it was too short, in front of other people, and then called 911 herself, I wouldn’t put it past someone in a bathroom to do worse if they “suspected” someone was trans, whether or not they actually are

      Also I’m sorry for all the commas but I already did it and I don’t want to edit it lol

        And people who would do this think they can always tell. What are the odds they’ll believe a 6’2” woman when she says she was born with the vulva they just made visible?

      No. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” Trans people are one of their main out-groups.

    I would always always always rather go to the bathroom with a trans person rather than a conservative. Those people are truly dangerous, and trans people are awesome. They also are not the ones who randomly decide to shoot someone for existing.

    All conservatives are trash.

    Ok, so what if dad brings his 3-year-old daughter into the men’s room, or mom brings her infant son into the ladies room? Can I sue over the emotional trauma that caused me?

    You don’t have to live next to me

    Just give me my equality

    Everybody knows about Mississippi

    Everybody knows about Alabama

    Everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn

    Nina Simone sang it about the black experience in Mississippi in the 1960s. With a couple of minor lyrics changes, it could be about the queer experience today.

    Oh, awesome! Cause that’s what I need when I’m struggling. I don’t need health care. I don’t need a livable wage. I don’t need equal rights. I need to sue trans people.

    See? Repubs are giving us a path to success. Just sue a trans person who maybe has no money to pay out and everything is fine!

    I assume that integrated into this bill are guaranteed rights that trans people can countersue for harassment and defamation if they are misgendered while using the legally mandated bathroom.

    Typical fascist America.

    In fascist capitalist America, they check your genitalia before you use the bathroom.

    Every American criticizes North Korea and China for much less.

      Oh the fifth circuit is SO excited for this

      Edit: I had to google to double check, but yes, Mississippi is part of the fifth circuit (ones of the most conservative appeals courts in the USA)
