When Rep. Nancy Mace (R - S. Carolina) goes running into the bathroom to plaster the bowl with a putrid, explosive shit followed by a series of wet farts, she doesn't want anyone else in there as that would be embarrassing. Especially if they saw her leave without washing her hands.
Jesus fucking Christ. This reminds me of "Whites Only" bathrooms and water fountains. It's nothing more than trying to dehumanize people by attacking their basic needs.
Not like they have any other pressing problems besides being mean to people who are out of the ordinary.
it's one to one the same thing. they just moved the target. the so-called arguments about safety and purity are exactly the same.
What an absolute piece of shit.
Like every word she speaks is TERF propaganda, which she recognizes: She Twitted "Full TERF".
She says "He is a biological man. End of. Period."
She makes a point that she is not willing to discuss or find common ground by any criteria (not even the safety and dignity of trans women themselves).
This is a savage and barbaric, blatant display of bigotry and hatred, a disgusting outlook for any human, and totally unworthy of respect in decent society.
Thoughts out to Sarah Mac Bride that has to face this and still keeps her cool.
To me banning transgender use of public spaces and bathrooms should be listed as a hate crime and be heavily fined.
I hope her motion is rejected, she should be ashamed of her ridiculous self.

The party of Identity politics.
People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don't really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people's lives more difficult for no reason.
Hurting people is the reason.
deadbeef79000 gets it.
So women should use the mens bathroom? Is that what they are getting at?
How are they going to enforce it?
Huh, will this give us CHEAPER EGGS? What about the BACON?
oh she's getting some pork, alright.
According to conservatives, yes.
I know representation is important. But why do the Karen's get a disproportionate amount?
Because they are loud, and reasonable people are not. When the reasonable people get loud they shut up when reasonable critiques are made. At some point the reasonable people have to become unreasonable (by degree) so they can be heard.
Believe it or not, they speak for their constituents.
Because the US is disproportionately made up of Karens.
That's pretty rich coming from the party that supports people taking a dump on Capitol desks.
citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
You can expect this to be the template for when they want to pass anything.
Don't worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don't want to touch you either.
You don't have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.
The patriot act says hi.
Along with like.... Half the shift from 2001-2005.
And if we keep going we will be here all day.
Glad to see she’s really focused on fixing the economy.
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.
I was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn't walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.
No no. I think it was the Stockholm airport, for example. Each private stall had a loo and sink and like 1/2 gaps at the bottom; perhaps in case of flooding. It was the private spa of airport bathrooms.
My family there says it's less about protecting people of different attributes from our own : they just can't be arsed to delineate when it makes no difference and costs more to maintain.
Mix the bathrooms, ensure individual privacy, and everybody still poops.

That seems like the more reasonable answer
Enforced HOW?
Given that there will be only one openly trans member of Congress, you can assume any time she goes to the restroom some Republican will report on which bathroom she goes into.
Nobody is as concerned with other people's genitals as conservatives.
And they'll cite all the fines that shitgibbon from Georgia got for not wearing a mask and trying to bring guns into Congress as proof they can.
They plan to set up a genital inspection booth in front of the restrooms where a eunuch will examine all persons wishing to use the restroom.
my friend used the women's in a bucees rest stop in sone shithole state on a road trip and the cops were there by the time she was done with her business. Someone 'made a report'.
By vibe. If you’re passable you’re fine, if you don’t visibly match your gender presentation well enough, jail
Are they also banning transgender men from male bathrooms?
There's aren't any (out) trans men in Congress, so no.
The measure would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
So yes
Ah, okay, they covered their bases. But conservatives forget trans men exist all the time, so it's probably an afterthought.
Oh, I expect they forgot trans men existed when they wrote the law. Once extremely masculine trans men start using the women's bathroom, as they are legally illogically required to do, Republicans will backpedal...who am I kidding, that wouldn't happen until midterms at the earliest, and by then they'll just be shooting trans people.
I'm sorry for the state of your country. I hope mine doesn't follow, though they seem to be.
They really want to ensure none of us attempt to enter government again
I say replace all the bathrooms with genderless-only ones. You can't use them if you have any gender, sorry.
I think I rarely see the so-called disgust reflex in full throttle, as I see it in terfs attacking trans women. They are literally acting like a five-inch cockroach is climbing up their ankle, and they can't help it. There is no amount of TERFism propaganda that can do that, they just must be the most homophobic people in existence, on par with people who flat out murder trans women. No doubt about it, they dehumanize trans women and would mass murder them with not a shed of remorse. Fuck TERFs, really.
Here it begins
Jesus Christmas. Dig up Sherman and tell him to finish the job.
