It's so much easier to be an "opposition party". Lazy and reckless to boot

It's not just about using the bathroom I identify with.
I outright can not pass as male anymore. If I try to use the men's restroom it's going to cause a commotion and probably lead to me being assaulted, and I really don't want to have to deal with going to court because I killed someone in self defense.
-
Anecdotally, if I saw a woman in the men's room, I'd probably mind my own business like I always do.
It's like the gym, I'm trying to do my thing and gtfo, no eye contact, no nothing.
I know I'm just one voice but I think it's way stupid how interested we are in other people using the restroom.
-
It's on purpose. Sounds like you, and certainly I, don't care. But it's being drummed up for a reason. Bad actors, looking to do bad things, by placing a target on people's backs. The worst kind of politics.
-
IMO we should abolish gendered restrooms. It's unfair that women consistently have to wait longer in line. And before anyone makes some weak ass "think of the children" argument... I have two, actually watch them, and have gone into a million ladies rooms for changing tables.
-
That's a good point too. This basically means transgender people can't go to gyms. A bathroom is one thing but changing rooms can make people a bit uneasy even when everyone is the same gender. This is going to lead to public disturbances and trans people getting arrested (definitely what the GOP wishes they could put into law).
-
From personal experience I only started using the women's restroom after men started yelling at me for using theirs. 🤷♀️
-
I didn't mind my own business when a woman accidentally walked into the bathroom I was using. That was mostly because I was using the urinal, and it was more visible than I'd like from the bathroom door. Not her fault, just badly designed.

Yeah, as an Ohio trans woman, I’m post op and my choices in presentation are to look like a non passing trans woman, a woman without qualifiers (those two are just random which I’m perceived as), or I can try to look male and look like a bad drag king or like a non passing trans man.
Maybe people just need to get used to people like us existing in public

First I think, what do Republicans think trans people are doing in the bathrooms? Then I think, oh, what are republicans doing in bathrooms?!
-
I feel like we need to start spying on the fuckers (gqp) because I bet we would find some nefarious activities.
-
We keep finding it and they keep not caring about hypocrisy. All they care about is hurting people; they have no real principles.

Man I thought that was Al Franken in that picture for a second and I got super excited when it looked like he might be back. /sigh

Fucking hell now I need to go yell at my representatives

And there’s people here wanting you to not vote against this. VOTE LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON IT.
Now let’s see them call themselves out in response.

Oh god I hate living in a red state. I’m not trans, but I just want them to be as acknowledged and their privacy respected as anyone else. This bill is just fear mongering and cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
Ohio is hopelessly gerrymandered to be red, with no hope of recovery, so anyone the Religious Right deems ‘abnormal’ would be better off getting out of the state, despite the big islands of blue in/around the big cities and college campuses. And that’s just sad.
As your neighbor, I'm still jealous. At least Ohio allows citizens to propose ballot measures. WV doesn't even have that.
