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 6 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thats only their current public agenda. Trans people not existing at all is their end goal though, and every step on that path they will keep going further until there are death camps

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Trans death camps are not something I can envision in today's political climate, but if the west tilts irreversibly into fascism it's quite possible.

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?

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 6 days ago

good luck with that one.

Fascism doesn't fall out of fashion

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 6 days ago

Dystopian. That's fucked.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 59 points 6 days ago (14 children)

This is dumb as f.

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

[–] LemmyIsReddit2Point0@lemmy.world 36 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Changing only men's bathrooms is just asking for backlash. Just make every toilet an individual unisex half bathroom with floor to ceiling walls and doors. A toilet, a sink, and a mirror. No more silent mode shits, no more pee shyness. If raising the national minimum wage only made products go up by a few cents some bathroom construction loans will barely do the same. I'll pay an extra 10 cents for my burrito... Oh that's right they already have individual bathrooms. Airports, malls, amusement parks, stadiums, music venues? ¯\(ツ)/¯ get gud

At work they put in a bunch of these during a renovation a few years ago. Only problem is we hit hard times and didn't renovate more bathrooms so these are far away. I make the trek over to them when I need to poop though. So much nicer than the men's room.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 6 days ago

If they changed building code so all new buildings did that it would solve the issue. but my solution won't change existing infrastructure. Its just a sign change.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

i once took a shit in a unisex bathroom in a park in portland…
oddly enough, it was exactly like taking a shit in any other bathroom…

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 6 days ago

I would consider arbitrary rules that are intentionally impossible to follow based on hate is very very dumb.

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that works, but often male toilets currently only have one stall. Would need to shift that balance for this to be an effective strategy.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Or north Carolina where no stalls in bars. I guess men dont poop.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Republican laws working as Republicans intend.

Cruelty and oppression was always the point.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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.

[–] xeekei@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 days ago (2 children)

We all knew this would happen.

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

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days 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.
