Oh, wow. I've always wondered about the crazy bathroom laws. I used to ask, "What're they gonna do? Raid the bathroom and start checking genitals?" Turns out, yeah, that's exactly what they're gonna do. I hope the malicious idiots that voted for this get a taste of their own medicine when they become collateral damage.
- There wasn't even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a lesbian.
  
  Who could’ve ever possibly imagined that this would happen?
  Oh anyone who can put two and two together…
  
  Whoa, that's even crazier. Are police not beholden to law? If not, what exactly is law enforcement in the context of the executive branch of government?
  
  There wasn't even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a ~~lesbian~~ woman.
  Her sexuality is irrelevant. There are plenty of "butch" straight women.
  
  Sounds like a lucrative lawsuit to me
- It's the Sith side of Penis Inspection Day.
  
  Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to genital inspection.
Men burst into the ladies' room with flashlights to harass a woman.
These anti trans bathroom laws are just an excuse for perverts and rapists to get into the ladies' room!
- 🌍🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 always has been
This is just one reason why TERFs are morons
- trans exclusionary radical bathroom fetishists?
  edit sadly that doesn't describe it enough. how many more modifiers do you want. hate is hate.
  
  Someone on Lemmy, I wish I remembered and could credit them, called them FARTs- Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes. I've been telling all my friends to do that, it feels right.
it's just basic human decency that i need to know the details of your junk in a Tucson mega mart
"We can always tell"
We knew this would happen. Gender purity tests affect everyone.
you could not hire the most talented comedian on earth to parody this.
Ah yeah, just people learning about new/old genders the hard way. You just have to remember LGBTQ A+. There's a plus I assume now because there's a large number of yet to surface genders. There's a space between the A, I assume because A is for Asexual sort of de-gendered. Its a rainbow out there. Just accept it and move on. I don't even understand why the big deal. At home there's two bathrooms and anyone can go in them. I don't have to go check all my guests for dick or vagina. I assume that they gotta go at some point so I provide them the same two bathrooms my own family uses....unless they got Ebola. I assume other people would also draw the line at deadly airborne diseases. Possible at diarrhea, but hey, even then, you still gotta go somewhere!
- The same type of people complaining about Gender-Neutral bathrooms are the same type of people that would complain about desegregated water fountains. Bigots.
  
  So if we create a bathroom for bigots will that solve the problem?
  Common M/F/Whatever
  Disabled
  Bigots
  /S
- The full acronym as far as we are aware is: LGBTQIANB2SP+
  Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic, Nonbinary, TwoSpirit, Pansexual (and maybe Polyamorous) plus
  
  Dang! I want to be polyamorous but my wife said no.
I had a bad feeling about Tuscan and Phoenix, not sure about the rest of Arizona
PAPERS PLEASE
sounds familiar...
Another reason to boycott Walmart and U.S. corporations.
Should be able to sue the police union. Absolute shitshow that these clowns can do what they do and are defended on the taxpayer dollar.
The design of our restrooms is dumb, and the hate brigade makes it 10x worse.
Sweden does restrooms correctly. They are more private, more hygienic, and more efficient. That’s on top of eliminating the reason for the temptation for scumbags to be the genital police.
What I am used to at work in the US is a giant room for two toilets and a urinal plus two sinks. And it should go without saying that the privacy of the stalls is terrible. They are only ever metal panels that start a foot off the floor and end low enough for tall people to see over. The metal panels have huge gaps between them that you have to avoid looking at unless you like awkward eye contact. Of course there is also the door for the ladies’ room leading to a second giant room with I assume 3 toilets and 2 sinks.
Over in Sweden, in the same space you have a short hallway with 6-8 individual doors. Real wooden doors, that fully close and lock with vacant/occupied indicators on the outside. Behind each is a reasonably sized small room with a toilet and sink. You know, kind of like a restroom!
The setup is better for the individuals using the facilities as well as the group’s utilization. Any person can use any restroom at any time, and with a much better experience than we have now.
It just seems a bit too “respects other humans” to fly in the US. Plus I’m sure the upfront construction cost is slightly higher (gasps in American).
