Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why cant the trans people just use the disabled bathrooms? Its a small percentage of the population and the infrastructure is already in place (and where its not it will help encourage greater accessibility)
Why? They're not disabled and a bathroom is just a bathroom. It's just Rs creating a problem where there isn't one.
Whar does Rs stand for?
Republicans/christofascist/nazis
Republicans
They're not disabled? Also, does the Capitol HAVE bathrooms in sets of 3? Women's, mens, and handicapped?
Whats wrong with being grouped with the disabled they are just people? And im pretry sure most bathrooms come in sets of 3 mens womens and handicapped thats my point. Well unless u live in a 3rd world country that isnt accommodating to the differently abled.
Because they're not disabled. What are you even talking about?
That's like supporting some racist segragationist bullshit by saying "well, can't black people just use disabled bathrooms? They're a small portion of the population."
See how ridiculous that sounds? It's not disparaging to disabled people to point out how inappropriate that is. You're just making life harder for disabled people to feed some asshole's bigotry.
Where do you live where you see a disabled bathroom wherever there's a mes and women's room? They have handicapped stalls, but it's rare to see entire handicapped bathrooms.
Australia do u guys not have that in the states?
A few places like airports, maybe some theme parks. They're very rare.
Cuz who the fuck cares?
I really need someone to explain to me what they’re doing in the bathroom that is so sensitive to the presence of other people and their particular genitalia.
When I use a public bathroom, my goal is to get in and get out with zero interpersonal interaction. I don’t want someone to do so much as hold the door open for a quarter-second. If you’re my best friend in the outside world — in here, I don’t know you.
This, Bathroom Stalls exist so segregating them by gender already makes no damn sense.
We need better stalls in the US for that to be the case. WAY too many gaps and openings.
