I swear, transphobes will claim all trans people care about are mutilating genitals while the phobes run around screaming at people demanding to know what's in their pants, regardless of whether they're a minor or not.

I still use the men's room because I am early in transition and my tits aren't big enough yet. I'm basically waiting for the first man to see me and tell me I'm in the wrong place, then I will know I can probably use the ladies'

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago

I'm legit excited for you. That's gonna be such a great moment!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago

Good luck on your journey, fellow human. 🏳️‍⚧️

The restroom narrative is fucking insane.

I was sexually assaulted as a teenage girl, by another teenage girl in a restroom in high school.

Sexual predators are going to be predators. They don’t care about the rules.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

For the sake of argument, let's say there is a hypothetical trans person who wants to assault someone in a bathroom. The whole argument assumes that people who don't respect "you can't assault people" laws will respect "you can't enter that room" laws. They're already planning a much more serious crime! They'll just ignore both laws! So dumb.

Those American bathroom stall gaps are wild.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 89 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I think American stalls are designed that way specifically to make them less private in the hopes it will keep people from boning or doing drugs in them. Just another facet of American life made worse with puritanical/punitive culture.

[–] wischi@programming.dev 5 points 15 hours ago

I'm from Europe and I always assumed that America does that, because it's the cheapest option by far.

You'd think after a lifetime of not actually working in that regard we'd just use a normal fucking door. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, FunFact: if you enter a bathroom in the US and the lighting is really blue: that literally is to stop drug use. Veins are blue, and if the lighting is blue you can't see them well enough to shoot up.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The blue light also doesn't work. Junkies figured out how to turn on the cell phone flash light.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How do you tie off your arm, light the spoon, fill the syringe and inject yourself while also holding your phone?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Put the phone on something.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 1 day ago

Oh so now I have to share my drugs with a phone?

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Obviously you've never been addicted to heroin.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then there must be wild drug-fueled orgies happening at Buc-ee's, but nobody has ever invited me to join.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's a truck stop. There's a lot and it's sad style not party style

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We're lucky they even have doors, half the schools I went to in conservative towns ripped them off to 'keep kids from smoking' in the bathrooms.

I think they just have a fetish for watching people shit.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

I'd literally rather my kid start smoking then have some adult watch them take a shit.

Hell, kid might start smoking to deal with poop anxiety it creates. Nicotine literally helps with constipation. Lol

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

It's to make genital inspections easier. Have you even been paying attention?

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Do transphobes know of the existence of manly, burly trans men? One of those muscular, bearded dudes walks into a woman’s room because it’s their “birth assigned” bathroom and they would lose their shit

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago

No, because their fear is based mostly in sexism.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Hey, some of us are fat Reddit neckbeards too. Not all trans men are muscle-y man hunks.

I think I’m supposed to use the women’s restroom? Tbh, not sure if my drivers license even counts anymore. Might as well dig out the fedora and some Pepe the frog shirts, if they’re going to make me piss in the women’s, I’ll “milady” every female in sight.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

They do and they love harassing them too. There is no logic, only hate.

[–] dumbluck@midwest.social 38 points 1 day ago

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It's solid advice to listen to what they say, because they are actually confessing what they want to do.

"If we defind the police people will go around killing everyone they want"

... Uh ... How many people do you WANT to kill? Because my number is 0...

And of course this is another clear example.

"They are trying to creep on young girls"

Uh.... Why do you're state make it legal to touch children's genitals if you're proving their gender and force people to undress for you to use the bathroom????

A more personal one:

"They are forcing their lifestyle on us!!!"

Uh... Is it okay with you guys if I'm asexual?

"No! That asexual means your gay and gay people are child molesters. So stop being asexual"

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Technically my number is not 0. And the police really only protect the small percentage of people in this world that deserve the guillotine. So, in a way they're right about that one. Just not in the way they think they are.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I understand the guillotine comments. Let me you ask you this if I was magic and offered you a choice

You could execute these people and it would be legal

Or you could change the things they did.

Which would you prefer?

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

Depends on what you mean by "change things they did".

If that was the case they wouldn't be those people anymore.

Capitalism isnt failing because of some moral failure of the wealthy. It's failing because of its contradictions.

The guillotine is simply a symbol of revolution. Revolution does not require violence if the ruling class gives up it's power. But, historically, they never have. And the Capitalist class will not either. So violence is necessary in response to the state structures of violence.

So, I guess my point is that I'm not saying I want to kill capitalist. But, historically, the ruling class does not want to give up their class position and so violence is required to destroy the structures that uphold their class position.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I want to kill people. With a guillotine.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Every accusation is a confession.
