I’m struck by the fact that as a trans woman I look more cis than some women I know who’ve given birth. I’m actually worried about a cis friend of mine if we ever get bathroom laws here.
I've been trying to explain to my less enlightened family for years that requiring a trans man to use the women's bathroom only makes it easier for men to just walk in since having a beard and a dad bod no longer means you have to use the men's room.
These laws just don't make any sense and can only make whatever they are afraid of (men hearing their wives and daughters tinkle, apparently) worse.
That's what has always stumped me. They do realize that trans men look like... men. Right? Like, they want some dude to just stroll into the women's bathroom? Like, legally want that dude to be forced to stroll into that women's bathroom?!?
The dude doesn't want to be in there. Women don't want the dude to be in there. Why do these politicians want the dude to be in there?!
and the trans person gets assaulted in the bathroom they are 'supposed' to use! Its just an excuse to banish us from public, there is no right answer.
Exactly. It’s like telling black people to use their water fountain. But there isn’t a fucking water fountain for them.
Regression of society sucks to watch in real time.
Edit: hope this isn’t an offensive correlation. 💀
