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.

[–] BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months 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.

Trans people are the 2025 jews.

[–] tamman2000@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months 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.

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.

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?

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.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 17 points 2 months ago

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

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 68 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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

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?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

good luck with that one.

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.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Dystopian. That's fucked.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 60 points 2 months ago (16 children)

This is dumb as f.

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

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

Republican laws working as Republicans intend.

Cruelty and oppression was always the point.

We all knew this would happen.

The hate is always their point

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They (person in photo) can grow better facial hair than me. Fuck me man

It’s like their weird concept of immigrants that are simultaneously lazy non-contributors and taking our jerbs.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I’m pretty sure that recent UK Supreme Court case ended up making it illegal for trans men to use any public restroom. My understanding is that it forces trans women to use the men’s but has a carve out saying that trans men can’t use the women’s.

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