This is especially vile to announce on Transgender Day of Remembrance; but I have no doubt in my mind that it was intentional.

This feels like a move made with the explicit purpose of hurting people as much as possible. ("The cruelty is the point.")

To my knowledge, there is no legal recourse for this, but I am not a lawyer, so I could be wrong...

I know it likely won't do much, but I do recommend calling your representatives. I asked mine to issue a statement saying that they will not be party to enforcing this rule. I hope they issue such a statement of solidarity soon 🤞

We don’t look down upon anyone. We treat everybody with dignity and respect.

Man who just passed a rule looking down on and disrespecting a single specific person.

Mike Johnson recently said that his world view is the same as what's in the Bible. I hope one day he realizes with horror that he's been a very hateful person, and that even the Bible he says he follows would condemn this kind of cruelty. He and the Republicans think they're doing "God's work", but they're not. At all.

So Republicans want this man to use the woman's washroom?

Malicious compliance time. Bedpan in the house chamber.

Blatant discrimination

I don't understand. I've been sharing public women's bathrooms with biological males all my life because their caretakers use them when they need to pee. Those brats peek and crawl under the doors and walls frequently and all we can do is be annoyed because it's part of life with kids in public. Why are we banning trans individuals who have never tried to join me in the toilet?

I watched a Vaush interview with Erin Reed: https://youtu.be/B7f-sh6qpyc

She talked about Florida banning trans people from using their preferred bathroom. It is already the law. This isn't good, but, she says, a hopeful silver lining is that the law has never been enforced against anyone, as far as she knows.

I guess no one wants to spend their life standing outside a bathroom checking birth certificates.

So, whatever the law or rules say, it's still important for people to stand up for what's right and ignore unjust laws. And, you know, just mind your own damn business.

hey where's that meme about liberals fantasizing about republicans hurting trans people again?

FUCK THIS
