Land of the free eh?
You know they have no actual reason for this law aside from intimidation, threat, and leverage for the weak minds who need something to be mad at.
If anyone really cared, they would just make the hand-washing area open, and private stalls for people to do their business. No need to have Mens/Womens. Many places I have been to do this, and it just works.
But then again, there really is not a problem to solve, and the "solution" is removing trans people from society and has nothing to do with bathrooms.
Gotta be fascist AF to think this is some kind of legitimate oppression.
How is that fascist?
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived
What you are, is uneducated
I think they're talking about oppressing trans people, not about a woman using the woman's bathroom.
I’m sorry, what? Is it not a ultranationalist political ideology to write laws oppressing people because they are different than you and constantly using America as your belief system (Make America Great Again)? Laws that quote “natural social hierarchy” of men and women when science and nature prove constantly that there are variations?
No. No. I think it is you who is the uneducated one. The one without critical literacy or a lens to see the enactment of fascism. Germany was not the first or the last, and this is just another rise to the idea of fascism.

She should have pissed on their capitol’s floor.
Being arrested certainly brings awareness to the real threat, but she didn’t think she’d be arrested. Maybe the protest would’ve been more successful by going in with a group of women saying that one of us is trans.
I believe she did think she would be arrested. But her letter points out all the reasons arresting her is biggotry. So she took away their ability to deny the bigotry of it.
This is exactly the purpose of civil disobedience.
Normies (unenlightened): Uses Male/Female Bathrooms (reminiscent of racial segregation in the US 🤮)
Me (enlightened): Why not have gender-neutral bathrooms? 😎
(Seriously, why do we still have gendered bathrooms? What next? Gendered bus-seating?)
Some of it is just based on logistics. A sports venue for example would have a hard time converting their bathrooms to gender neutral, and the reality is that "men's rooms" can be more space efficient due the focus on urinals.
But I find it completely ridiculous when a restaurant has two single occupancy bathrooms, one marked men and one marked women.

A lot of them are gender neutral nowadays. I see them all the time, though I do live in a very progressive and queer-friendly neighborhood and city. When my local university tried to do this in a new dorm, a bunch of far-right idiots from out of town tried to start a big stink about it.
