Looks like they took the form down. If anyone has a new link, please post it. I've got some creative writing to share with the bigots in Utah.
Damn, ig you missed the party. I shared the link for informational purposes only on a post weeks ago
I'd rather my Tax Dollars go to THAT instead of feeding Starving American Children!
Who cares about if they’re hungry? I just want to talk about their genitalia!!!
Preface: I don't care at all what bathroom anyone uses, just a silly lighthearted comment:
But I do find it a bit funny that the headline mentions 12,000 complaints, but leaves out that only 5 of them were even looked into, lol.
Sensationalism is everywhere, I guess, lol.
Interesting. I inferred that the vast majority were joke complaints to illuminate how absurd the hot line is just by reading the title.
Sensitivity is everywhere, I guess, lol.
Read the article. The rest were obvious jokes, and the 5 they thought may be "plausible" didn't result in a substantive complaint.
Yes, obviously. Why did I even bother with that preface, people are just so eager to take everything in the worst possible way, lol.
I was just trying to alleviate any confusion, cuz your second line made it sound like maybe you thought the rest of the calls weren't even listened to. Muh bad
I think we need to start breaking the law and self reporting. We'll send in pictures of our junk spewing urine in the wrong room so they'll be sure it's a legitimate complaint.
It turns out that writing "cum" 420 times isn't accepted as legitimate intel.
Music to my ear and I wonder how much it costed them to comb through all of that.
Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.
Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like "I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest"
You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.
So not only was it hateful, but it was wasteful, too. Good job, Utah.
People should keep submitting fake reports, and make them somewhat plausible. Just so they don’t get instantly discarded and can actually tie up more resources by actually getting investigated.
This is something an LLM is actually very useful for. It can make it sound both legitimate, be verbose and generate many submissions with little human effort.
But like, how would they even investigate them? That's the part I don't understand. Whoever was peeing in there, they're gone by the time the cops show up. It doesn't take that long to pee.
Republicans show up and taste the toilet seat. They claim they can tell the difference.
only five were investigated
Can one sue Utah for gross neglience now? I mean, they got thousands of complaints from concerned citizens, and they only cared for investigating five of them? Or do they profile those complaints into "we are not investigating certain types of people", e.g. politicians that have been reported?
I want to know how they "investigate" this bullshit. This is a complete waste of tax payers money...but since it's from the party of small gov. And saving money its ok cause we have to know who's got what equipment and going into what bathrooms.
All business's should just swap all their signs over to unisex and be done with this bullshit.
It's only 5 so far, reading the Bee Movie script takes a long time, especially when they have to keep stopping to sound out every other word.
This is outrageous. They're not even going to attempt to investigate my report about an alien beaming into the bathroom and touching my peepee? Just for that, I'm filing 10 more complaints.
Just to make up for that grevious lack of action about your case, I think we should ALL file reports about those alien peepee touchers until it gets the attention it deserves.
I mean, bathrooms are the most important thing in the world and despite it being a very modern contrivance, making sure the right people are using the right machines to whisk their poopies and pee away is critical for the survival of our species. We have to defend this noble institution against the alien peepee touchers! MAKE THEM LISTEN!
I’m struck by the fact that as a trans woman I look more cis than some women I know who’ve given birth. I’m actually worried about a cis friend of mine if we ever get bathroom laws here.
I've been trying to explain to my less enlightened family for years that requiring a trans man to use the women's bathroom only makes it easier for men to just walk in since having a beard and a dad bod no longer means you have to use the men's room.
These laws just don't make any sense and can only make whatever they are afraid of (men hearing their wives and daughters tinkle, apparently) worse.
I've been saying that for a while. Not only does this open up many trans women to additional harassment, it also opens it up to any cis woman someone decides looks too masculine to be a "real" woman.
I would definitely let Utah know that you saw a great many of these people use the "wrong" bathroom:
Only 12000? Those are rookie numbers! Get back to work!
Seriously. This person filed 20,716 complaints about flight path noise pollution in a year. Just one person. I need to see a zero added behind that 12,000 figure, then I'll know at least six people are truly dedicated.
I suppose decades of misandric conditioning would create the opinion that all men, trans or not, are sexual predators and closet perverts. This needs to change.
misandry doesn't real
And misogyny conditions to believe that all women are victims. They really aren't separate forces, they work together.
Eerybody needs feminism.
