Spirit of friendship? Bitch, ya'll threaten to secede every other year.

Out of curiosity what's their fine for regular public indecency, like, urinating in an alley? I'd imagine it's literally cheaper for a trans person there to piss on the side of city hall than it is a regular god damn restroom

What an awful little shitville

Actually the fine is $500 at most. This is a guaranteed civil court payout, on top of any "damages" someone may receive. And since this is civil court, you operate on preponderance of evidence instead of beyond a reasonable doubt.

This sort of legislated punitive damages is what should be happening for instances of wage theft, but instead we're using it for harassing trans people while wage theft tends to have few if any punitive damages and mostly amounts to "ok, now give them their paycheck."

Why would they do that? These laws are there to convince ma and pa dipshit that child predators are trans people not a group that’s not open or openly or formally organized and consists of people in all strata of society. In short these laws are to protect the pedos in power from suspicion

Each and every one of those fuckers looks like they're in a retail store about to demand to speak to someone's manager.

I was about to ask, what's with the privacy policy of that site? How can a website that focuses on an oppressed minority be so shitty about their personal data?

I'm not telling your community what to do, but this seems very unsafe und unwise to use.

Fuck, I didn't realize we have a green* book

I think that was inevitable unfortunately...

Oh, last time I saw only Florida had that dubious distinction. They've been busy. It's infuriating what a shithole a large portion of this country has become.

I have a trans teenage cousin in Texas. We're not close, but I worry. All I can really do is let him and his mom know I exist in a "safe" state and hope they reach out if they decide to leave.

Also there is evidence that it is harmful to cis people. Especially cis women who might be queer or straight or gender nonconforming or not. These fuckwads always forget trans men exist and just harass women more with this shit. They don't give a fuck off you're trans or not, it's about control. And their especially interested in controlling women.

It's also directly tied to fascism. Eco points to Machismo in point 12 of Ur-Fascism. "[Fascists hold] both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality." Meaning it's not just women, trans women, gay men, people outside of traditional 1940s gender roles, but it also includes straight, cis men who just don't seem to be straight and cis enough.

The real answer. Skip the whole gender thing if it's an issue. Certainly public restrooms being ungendered entirely won't be a problem, who knows why we have it this way...

Shit on the floor. Time to get schwifty in here.

I can legally shit in any room. I even have a card somewhere licensing me to do so. My shits are the stankiest. I can't make it to Odessa until 11/1 (i have an appointment today) but I will gladly drop a deuce directly in his office.

edit: i just got home from my appointment I need a flight to odessa if we're gonna do this

edit: I've been saving up. It's gonna be a très

As long as it's not my stall, I don't care

I've done things like this when people do the 'trans women make "real" women feel uncomfortable in locker rooms' argument.

"So you're saying women would be more comfortable with that guy changing next to them?"

They don't really have an argument against that part.
