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!

MODERATORS
A long time ago I was asked by a friend my opinion of transgender people using their restroom that corresponds to their true gender (the one that does not correspond to their birth sex). My answer was this:
I don’t give a fuck who you are, I don’t wanna shit next to you. All bathrooms should be individual, floor to ceiling walls, so I can shit in peace.
The real ban should be on group shitting.
Counterpoint: the public communal toilets in Rome were important locations for grassroots political organizing.
(But yeah, going to European office buildings and getting a fully enclosed shitter was pretty nice.
Countercounterpoint: we have the internet now.
I just want us to fart freely. Maybe we would all be better people if we were not filled with hot air.
Counterpoint : the internet is mostly funneled through a very small number of companies run by regressive fuckheads, and can not be relied upon for free exchange of ideas that may endanger said regressive fuckheads.
I agree on ventilation though.
Countercounterpoint: while true that the media does meddle, it still allow us to connect with individuals from vast distances to discuss opinions that aren’t just localized, and often biased.
"your account has been banned for inciting violence"
Well there went my uprising.
Technically, you can also be kicked out of the bathroom… which is apparently where a bunch of dudes hang out—balls out, shooting the shit so to speak. Personally, it sounds a little homoerotic to me.
Sign me up!!
The bathroom doesn't have admins or cameras looming over you.
Apparently you don't really care ya horny little shit.
It’s a joke.
Like this?
Yeah but that’s not it. That’s “feasibility” that won’t ever be feasible. Mixed with hate. Also, it needs to be more than government building, because what does that solve? Not much.
Let’s pass a law saying all publicly accessible bathrooms must be retrofitted or remodeled and until then, you can’t ban transgender people.
A man who identified himself as man.
That’s a man, so technically that’s not the right restroom anyway and would not happen under normal circumstances.
So, I’m going to assume you mean a transgender woman, in a woman’s restroom.
No I wouldn’t have a problem. Why would I? Pooping is pooping. Perhaps add more detail to the scenario and I can give you a better answer.
