I'd love for a bearded trans man to walk in there, look her dead in the eye and tell her not to worry, he has a vagina.

This is messed up. Do they not want trans people to use any bathrooms?

[-] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 124 points 3 weeks ago

They'd really just prefer it if we didn't exist

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 weeks ago

Hot take I know, but that’s a bit fucked

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 53 points 3 weeks ago

Correct, the goal is to eliminate trans people from public life.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago

This is messed up. Do they not want trans people

No, no they do not.

Republicans will use anything to generate outrage and distract from the constant war they wage on the working class

The biggest winners of this US elections are the corporations

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

we'll see. Media companies, gas companies and private prisons for sure win here, other corporations may suffer if they enact most of these policies:

Invading cities with the US military will destroy real estate markets. My guess is this is a bluff.

Rounding up immigrants (lets not pretend they'll be checking documents) will destroy agricultural corps and one of the US' largest exports

Tariffs will drastically damage consumer spending and costs for electronics (which will indirectly hike data center costs).

Tax cuts will radically increase inflation again.

If there are stalls with doors in the bathroom, then mind your own damn business if someone is in there. If there aren't, then it's an issue with the facility that should be fixed so anyone using them has privacy. Why are Republicans so concerned about what people do on the toilet or in the bedroom?

"Women may get attacked by trans people" says the party who by far has the larger list of offenders. Clean your own house.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 weeks ago

You know what, aren't American stalls notorious for giant gaps in them? Maybe if they fixed that and had better stalls things like this may smooth over better. Unless that stereotype of American bathrooms is outdated or not actually the norm

These people are obsessed with people's genitals. Just go to the fucking bathroom. Must you go out of your way to make even taking a shit in public more uncomfortable than it needs to be?

Shut the fuck up and do your fucking job.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Insist on big dick and small dick bathrooms for guys. Really lean into it.

Many public restrooms in Iceland are unisex. These apes wouldn't last one road trip.

I'm still trying to figure out what these people [Republicans] are doing in the bathroom. I probably don't want to know. All can say is, when I'm trying to pee in a public restroom, I don't really give a shit who's in the stall next to me. I don't care what their gender is. I don't care what their birth gender was. I'm just trying to do my business and get on with my day.

I don't care who is with me in the bathroom. I'm not there to make friends. I wouldn't care if either Nancy Mace or Donald Trump was in the stall next to me.

Just don't talk to me unless it's an emergency, that's all I ask.

So funny what issues the conservative fossil fuel media comes up with to avoid any climate actions. People discussing genitals before extinction definitely show how Darwinism was right. Humanity will die of stupidity.

The never ending tradition of conservatives always looking for someone to hate.

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 42 points 3 weeks ago

If bathrooms were properly designed instead of having half walls that don't even meet, I doubt people would care nearly as much.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 43 points 3 weeks ago

They'd find a reason to care because this is about maintaining patriarchy and queerphobia.

if I owned the establishment

removes sign entirely

BATHROOM

"There, y'all figure it out."

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 29 points 3 weeks ago

"This sign is bullshit. There's no baths in that room! Just a bunch of sinks and toilets!"

ever notice trans men don't have this problem?

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 75 points 3 weeks ago

We absolutely do, even if you don’t hear about it as often.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 22 points 3 weeks ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for opening up

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 19 points 3 weeks ago

Of course, Men are expected to deal with their own issues so being this fragile isn't going to be plastered all over the media.

If trans-men wouldn't endanger themselves by doing this, I would encourage them to chill in women toilets.

But they shouldn't put themselves in harm's way just to prove a point.

We should just treat them right and protect them from this nonsense.

I find it incredible that global warming is skyrocketing, debt is skyrocketing, we have all sorts of existential political and health issues and the thing people worry about is...

Trans people in bathrooms.

Like, what the heck?

Even if I was anti-trans (and I am not), why would I lose so much sleep over that? What's gonna happen, I see what looks like the opposite sex in the bathroom and my head explodes?

Even racial segregation made slightly more sense because actual societal segregation was the existing state, precedent, and public consensus (as horrible as it was) but... trans people are already mixed into the public?

Democrats should hire a staffer to stand outside of the women bathroom at the capital and have them accuse every GOP women of being a man before they go to the bathroom.

They want to play these games? Let's show them what their crazy looks like

[-] buttfarts@lemy.lol 28 points 3 weeks ago

Need a big scary FTM trans man with a beard to loiter in the women's washroom because they have a vagina downstairs.

It's all about the "biology" right??

Just unisex the thing. They get a lesson in tolerance and everyone gets equal treatment.

Last night I was thinking about the Sarah McBride situation and it got me thinking.

"I wonder if the first black person in congress was told he had to use the Colored Room?"

She just needs to pee!

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Have you watched Hidden Figures? There's a point in the movie where having different "colored" restrooms (at NASA in the 1960s) comes into play and... well, the resolution is pretty satisfying.

[-] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

I say we push them harder, hard enough that they mandate single person unisex bathrooms, with the fancy auto room washing function they have in Japan. Then I can finally crap in peace.

I will continue to ask these morons if they’ve ever heard of homosexuality. There have been people attracted to other people they see in the bathroom since people started peeing together. Gender does not define sexuality, and neither gender nor sexuality define pedophilia.
