Where trans people piss is definitely the most important thing Kansas should focus on…
Fuck Republicans.
I really hope cis people globally start to realize that all the attacks on trans people are a way to test the waters for fascism. We were among the first people targeted a hundred years ago, and we’re among the first people targeted today
Trans and disabled people are the canary in the fascist coal mine
It’s also been a great way for them to dismantle women’s rights, while proclaiming themselves as “feminists” or “protecting women.”
Being able to ban trans medical care sets a precedent for intervention in medical care, which makes it easier for them to attack abortion and other reproductive health care rights. (Contraception is definitely on the list)
These bathroom bills invite the policing of gender expression. There’s multiple cases of cis women being harassed and chased out bathrooms for being butch, which also serves the purpose of discouraging visibly queer people from being in public. This is also what the conservatives want; think about how much they hate women with dyed hair and undercuts.
This also puts a giant wrench in feminist activist spaces, because you have a bunch of people who’s have redefined “women’s rights” and “feminism” to be inherently in opposition to trans people. There are “feminists” posting Matt Walsh. I have a strong suspicion that at least some of this is paid trolling - that the success of early 2010s internet feminism (#metoo) threatened some powerful people.
we’re the first to get thrown under the bus regardless who’s in charge.
The thing I always wonder when I hear about these bills is whether cis women would be more uncomfortable with noticeably MtF individuals in their bathroom, or with passing FtM individuals in their bathroom. My money’s on the latter.
The answer the UK settled on was to ban trans men from essentially all single sex public restrooms.
These kind of laws really exist to be a covert way of banning trans existence in public; there have been trans women in the UK who have sued because they have essentially no ability to use changing rooms or piss at work, because the law doesn’t require employers to provide single stall/all gender restrooms.
Terrible.
Yeah, and those motherfuckers gonna reinstate them all Jim Crow laws.
When you’re actively protecting people’s and murdering citizens none of this matters
Republicans of any kind are ineffectual forgettable human sandbags in the way of common sense and living well
So obsessed with bathrooms
In the tape released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that “lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that’s happened to us?”

The propaganda is evergreen. There was a commercial I remember ages ago (I think Mormon funded(?)) that was just a creepy guy walking into the bathroom after a little girl in opposition to like gay marriage.
Pretty sure it was an argument against the ERA even.
a good republican is a dishonest/cheating uneducated person.
