“It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable,” said Republican Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, the bill’s sponsor.

They should just listen to their leader's own words:

Leave it the way it is…There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate

Good grief. That's the first time I've seen that clip. The way politicians flip-flop for their own personal gain makes me sick. And that doesn't even touch on the fact that this affects real people at such a basic level.

No one is going to walk around bathrooms inspecting for penises or the lack thereof. At the heart of the matter, no one actually gives a damn. This is all just pure bigotry plain and simple. That and the politics of playing bigots for their votes.

I hope hope hope that people like Sarah McBride will follow people like Mike Johnson into the bathroom and then, from the stall next to him, say every most uncomfortable thing that she can think of to make Johnson rue the day he banned trans women from using the restroom with dignity at their place of work.

Goodness! There's so many real problems in this world. Why are people letting politicians get away from doing their actual jobs and focusing on minutia like this.
