Send in the biggest, burliest, hairiest ftm trans dudes into busy ladies rooms, the room that the state insists he must now legally use.

I mean, that's what we've functionally done. The distinction is that the biggest, burliest, hairiest dude isn't ftm trans, he's a fucking cop.

In an exclusive interview with The Advocate, Morton detailed the humiliating and distressing encounter. She said that she had entered the restroom with her ex-girlfriend, who handed her a tampon, when two male deputies stormed in, shining flashlights into the stall and demanding she exit. Morton, still using the toilet, was stunned.

“They were flashing lights on our feet and saying, ‘You have to get out of here. You have to come out. We need to talk to you,’” Morton said. “I’m telling them, ‘I’m still using the restroom. I’m sitting down, I’m peeing. What is the issue?’”

When she finally exited the stall, she said she lifted her shirt to prove she was not a man, expecting the ordeal to end. Instead, she said one deputy continued to question her appearance, insisting she “looked like a man.” Morton started recording, later posting a 9-second clip to TikTok, where it has since been viewed more than 3.7 million times. “They came in here in the girls’ restroom because I’m a girl and they didn’t think I was a girl, so they tried to come take me away,” she says in the video.

Like, this is the fucking future. The problem is that - outside of specifically LGBTQ media like The Advocate - it gets virtually no press. Cops terrorizing women in the restroom and demanding that they prove they aren't Transgender just aren't something the deeply conservative and heavily Trump-pilled local media oligarchs want appearing on TV.

You get stories like OP's instead, specifically because they do feed into the "Men are trying to sneak into the women's room to attack your daughter/wife/girlfriend"

Idk if its any fairer to send trans men in. Plus a pretty girl garners more sympathy.

Realistically trying to make them enforce them with genital inspections is the only thing that will make the public think about the ramifications

Edit: I'm not going to advocate saying this but I think the funniest take would be to say gender restricted bathrooms are part of the gay agenda and if girls and boys can use the same restroom at home they can use them in public.

"He was posing as a women for years, just so he could get into ladies rooms to rape our beautiful MAGA women!" -MAGA Nazis.

Why does he need to "pose" as a woman to do that? Every rapist I've ever heard of was able to practice their hobby without going trans.

I got a food truck bazaar near me with only one bathroom with a placard that shows the typical man/woman then a half half, and an alien reading. " Whatever, just wash your hands."

Best break down I've ever seen on this dumb ass debate.

If there's no other people, what the hell would be the use of the glory hole?

Seriously this. I've been to other places that have it figured out (Sweden in my case) and it is better in every possible way.

Well, unless you are a landlord who wants the up-front construction costs of the restrooms to be as cheap as possible regardless of how it will affect the decades of use. Or if you live in a country with no healthcare and can't let people have privacy in the restroom because you're afraid they'll OD in there.

Brave as fuck. I'm terrified for her.

Also not safe from being assaulted by a Republican politician in a women's bathroom, which has happened tons more than by trans women - especially since there's no recorded incidents of a trans woman assaulting anybody in a women's bathroom and the group behind the claim openly said that they made it up in an interview 15 years ago.

Trans bathroom bans are ultimately just a means of driving trans people from public life entirely.

This is not an exaggeration, the anti-trans movement literally aims to "eradicate [trans people] from public life entirely", those are their words.

Here are some citations, numbers, and evidence to back up what you're saying and why we should view trans bathroom bans as genocidal rather than about safety, like anti-trans activists claim:

When laws permit transgender people to access sex-segregated spaces in accordance with their gender identities, crime rates do not increase. There is no association between trans-inclusive policies and more crime. As one of us wrote in a recent paper, this is likely because, just like cisgender folks, “transgender people use locker rooms and restrooms to change clothes and go to the bathroom,” not for sexual gratification or predatory reasons.

Conversely, when trans people are forced by law to use sex-segregated spaces that align with the sex assigned to them at birth instead of their gender identity, two important facts should be noted.

First, no studies show that violent crime rates against cisgender women and girls in such spaces decrease. In other words, cisgender women and girls are no safer than they would be in the absence of anti-trans laws. Certainly, the possibility exists that a cisgender man might pose as a woman to go into certain spaces under false pretenses. But that same possibility remains regardless of whether transgender people are lawfully permitted in those spaces.

Second, trans people are significantly more likely to be victimized in sex-segregated spaces than are cisgender people. For instance, while incarcerated in facilities designated for men, trans women are nine to 13 times as likely to be sexually assaulted as the men with whom they are boarded.

...

In society at large, between 84% and 90% of all crimes of sexual violence are perpetrated by someone the victim knows, not a stranger lurking in the shadows – or the showers or restroom stalls. But trans and nonbinary people feel very unsafe in bathrooms and locker rooms, though others experience relative safety there. In fact, the largest study of its kind found that upward of 75% of trans men and 64% of trans women reported that they routinely avoid public restrooms to minimize their chances of being harassed or assaulted.

These laws aren't designed to protect cis women, they are designed to police gender (this impacts cis people too!) and eliminate trans people.

Jesus. Breaking the law is genuinely safer for you... What insanity.

She's got a lot of faith I'll tell ya that much.

I don't want people being attacked in bathrooms period. Men's bathrooms are not supposed to be lawless dens of brutal violence, just places to fucking pee, poop and wash hands.

I don't understand the argument for attacks in restrooms. How often does that happen in America?

And how is it that separate washrooms are supposed to prevent it? If a man is going to attack a woman ina restroom, is a sign saying they aren't allowed in really going to stop them if no one else is around?

She is gorgeous, but let's not create a false bar of its ok if you're pretty. We also have a story circulating right now in Florida about a very tall cis woman being harassed for using the women's bathroom and BEING FIRED FROM HER JOB FOR NOT REPORTING IT RIGHT.

We all need a place to take a shit. Pretty or not.
