While bathroom bills are explicitly aimed at trans folk, generally it's the non-gender conforming cis crowd that actually gets challenged IRL. Which isn't a bug, but a feature to control and enforce two clean arbitrary distinctions. Almost always some poor butch lesbian being accosted by the gender police and told to pee safely they need some makeup.

There is more to being a man than a tie, and more to being a woman than a dress. Humand are infinitely more complex than those old strict boundaries. This sort of attack is just a impotent attempt to force back the 1920'e statud quo.

That’s the thing about wars. You can only get lucky for so long.

But they started it and I ain’t going quietly.

Then start abducting or assassinating politicians

Shooting a lost uber driver never changed anyone’s mind

Viva la resistance

Disappointed but not surprised that the sexual assailant in this article has not been charged with anything yet, let alone sexual assault...

Calling someone a creep for not matching your gender appearance expectations, as at least one of the women in line for the bathroom did to this lady, is also arguably sexual harassment. But nobody's going to bring any consequences against the woman that did that. Typical cis woman weaponizing false victimhood and then disappearing into the background with zero consequences and possibly zero self reflection.

We should all misgender every MAGAt male who enters the men’s bathroom. And tell them that pussies are not allowed in there.

Topic: Jd Vance is a trans man. He uses the “wrong” bathrooms at the White House.

Change my mind.

Fuck yeh

Start standing at the entrance to male toilets in conservative meetups, demanding to see everyone's (micro-) penis.

If anyone ever corners me in a bathroom and tries to look at my genitals I'm stabbing them
