Once again, the point is to harass trans people out of public life altogether.

This isn’t about logic or fear, it’s hate and domineering. They’re nazis. No excuses.

[-] BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago

Yeah. This kinda stuff might help sway some people but for the fascists drafting these bills, this is not a contradiction. The bathroom they want trans people to use is none. They want trans people to not exist.

[-] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 31 points 1 week ago

Trans people are the 2025 jews.

[-] tamman2000@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

The original Nazis came for the trans folks before the Jews.

It's fucking disgusting how similar it is and how few people see it

[-] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 14 points 1 week ago

True.

We talk often of the jews, but lgbt+ people, rom and Slavic people were also in the same troubles.

Talking about Trump and how much is in search of appreciation, I would love to show him what's books from the future will tell about him. The 00's American Hitler (well, until this point he will be probably prod), which all the people hates the most and which everybody will try to do not be associated.

And The Disabled! They were first of all groups IIRC.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

And TERFs/alt right conservatives are working to cover up/deny this.

I saw someone say that the Nazis invented the transvestite passes. That Nazis invented being trans.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

first it was intellectuals, but they fled, then its lgbtq+ then the jews at the final stage.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I think bathrooms are such a common issue with bigotry because shitting is a vulnerable state where in nature makes us vulnerable to tooth and claw type predators. Therefore it's a psychological shortcut to appeal to danger and panic.

Forgive me for making an evolutionary psych argument, but I feel comfortable that I'm not overreaching.

[-] tamman2000@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I heard it's why dogs often stare at you while they poop. They're like "You got my back, right?"

I know this is the least bad part of the story, but it stuck out anyway:

After a lengthy drive to the bar, Strobel said he stepped inside to use the men’s room. However, there were no stalls—only urinals, rendering it inaccessible to him as a trans man.

Precisely where are men supposed to shit in this establishment?

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

That's what sinks are for

On the manager's desk would be ideal if you can get away with it

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?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

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 1 week ago

good luck with that one.

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 1 week ago

Dystopian. That's fucked.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 66 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 1 week ago

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

[-] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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

This is dumb as f.

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

[-] LemmyIsReddit2Point0@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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 6 points 1 week 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.

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

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] ADTJ@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

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 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] princessnorah 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Do you want drunk people shitting in the urinal? Because this is* how you get drunk people shitting in the urinal!

They're obsessed with trans women.

That trans men also exist breaks them.

This would never have happened had a trans woman entered the men's.

Republican laws working as Republicans intend.

Cruelty and oppression was always the point.

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.

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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.

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