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.

        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.

      I imagine one of the next steps is to legislate that outward appearance should match the birth certificate gender as well.

      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.

        They do not care, none of this is about “fairness” nor will lead to any embarrassment on their part, they WANT to shame cis women who aren’t “pretty enough” by their cartoonish mara-lago standards, they WANT to investigate women’s genitals and make women feel violated. If they could, they would have groups of men molesting girls and women outside every bathroom in the USA. This was never about actual safety of anyone, it’s always been about reinforcing control and power.
