Everyone with half a brain saw this coming as a direct result of trans discrimination. But I'm sure the cops will tell us how the potential of stopping a "man" from peeing in the wrong place is worth all "butch" women losing the right for privacy and the right to be innocent until proven without any reasonable doubt to be guilty.

They are literally trying convince us that we should give up basic human rights because maybe bathrooms are used by the "wrong" sex.

Also a reminder because I haven't seen any reporting lately, women in red states are dying horrible deaths for the crime of being pregnant. Also because of propaganda.

I'm starting to detect a trend here. But I just can't quite put my finger on it.

The majority of anti trans people also feel threatened by LBG people. This is a bonus and completely intentional that people like this person suffer as well.

This is why the entire community has to stick together if appealing to their sense of common fairness doesn't.

Time for the classic

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope she sues them for at least six figures. That's about the only way anything will change.

Unfortunately the tax payers will foot the bill

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well the tax payers can keep footing the bill until the taxpayers demand their lawmakers do something to hold the police to account.

Except 30+ years of doing things like this to black people and getting sued hasn’t changed much for them. Maybe if they start harassing 100 millionaires or and getting sued ?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Hmm the cops harassing the ruling class eh? I wish haha

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 week ago

transphobia has always been about misogyny and attacks on women's bodily autonomy.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the most stupid logical flaw about this (it has multiple) is that womens restrooms are stalls only, so there is no way ppl would even notice.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Clearly you're not from the US. We can't afford stall doors without giant gaps.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh it's not a matter of affordability.

Our stalls have giant gaps specifically so people can see inside the stall. You might be doing drugs in there!

Or even worse. You might be hiding your genitalia in there! /s

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

yeah, but ppl are not supposed to peek and if they do, it's their fault if they feel offended and i doubt they'll alert anyone about anything that could also spotlight their indecent behaviour.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you boot the LGBT+ community out of the restrooms, we can always pee on your eggs when we need to go.

Legs work as well, but I was making the point that we will go anywhere we need to, and if we destroy eggs and drive up the price, oh well.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

I think people will still buy piss eggs at this point.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I hope she sues the fuck out of them and Walmart and makes fucking bank.

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

So, I have to ask a real question, and I want to take the trans issue off the table.

Is there a reason why they would care if someone from the "wrong" gender used a bathroom? Like why are we clutching pearls here? Do they think that if someone goes in the wrong bathroom, they will peek or sexually assault someone? We already have laws around that.

What's next? People can only pee facing forward, but have to turn around and face backwards to poop? It's dumb.

Edit: I understand that this is just an escalation of BS politics. I am trying to understand the argument so that I can formulate a strong argument against it.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

Every body poops, but to some people that is concentrated evil coming out of you.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 15 points 1 week ago

You're wasting your time trying to argue. They don't care about logic, they only care about crushing those they view as undesirable under their boots. Harassing a butch lesbian is a bonus to what they want.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Hold up, about to put on a durag and go to the bathroom. About to get these loans paid off. 💅🏾

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 week ago

Once they crossed the threshold there were men in the bathroom. If they want to uphold the law* they should have arrested each other.

* as I understand it, it isn't even a law in that jurisdiction, so as everyone has already pointed out this whole thing is a bunch of bullshit
