This is the point where my mom grabs us both by the ear, and drags us to the front of the bathrooms, rips the signs off, replaces them with asterisks and goes “THERE, NOW BE QUIET!” and goes back to Oprah.
Democrats should go all in. Add an amendment for genital inspectors to access the bathroom.
“Ah Mr Cruz. Little below average, but it is technically a penis. Carry on.”
Or one of those airport scanners that can see under your clothes.
Just hire super buff FTM staff assistants. Too bad some medical condition requires them to go to thd bathroom a lot.
Backscatter scanners
That feeling when you change the law to force your crush to use the same toilet as yourself
MAGA told us creepy men and male rapists wanted to use the law to be able to use the same bathrooms as women
The maga people were the creeps and rapists and they got their wish
“I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families,” McBride said. “Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson even if I disagree with them. This effort to distract from the real issues facing this country hasn’t distracted me over the last several days, as I’ve remained hard at work preparing to represent the greatest state in the union come January.”
I could never fathom being this graceful against people literally trying to deny me the right to exist
She’s going to get harassed and possibly assaulted in the men’s room. I guarantee it.
I wonder what the consequences of just pissing on the floor would be. Vandalism? Censure?
Did the people that smeared human feces on the walls of the capitol building on Jan. 6 face any charges?
That would seem to set precedent.
Edit: I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that despite DNA evidence, that they didn’t face any charges.
Most of the people charged with anything over Jan 6 were charged with obstructing an official proceeding or similar. Not that it matters, Trump will pardon them just as soon as he’s done permanently quashing any legal proceedings against him forever.
all they have to do is invite like 30 trans men to the capital for a week and you will see a quick repeal of this policy.
“Just send in the trans men” is not a fucking solution. It suggests that we can just walk into the ladies room and go “oh, but I have a vagina, I’m supposed to be here!” and they’ll be like “ah damn, I guess you can go ahead”. Transmascs have been beaten, arrested, and even murdered trying to use the women’s room. We aren’t your human shields, we’re in just as much danger
“we aren’t your human shields”
I’m sorry but who is being shielded in this situation?
People expect us to march in and bear the brunt of transphobia to defend the rights of trans women
Okay, I hope Democrats legit physically block men from going in the bathroom while she’s in the men’s bathroom.
Fortunately for her there are gender neutral bathrooms available so she won’t have to
Edit: I am a trans woman and would never be willing to step into a men’s room. Leave it to Lemmy to interpret my original comment in such a backwards bad faith interpretation.
Tell me you missed the point without telling me you missed the point
Uh, no, I’m a trans woman and I would never be willing to step foot into a men’s room so I’m glad that despite this bigoted move she won’t either.
She might not have to but there are plenty of trans staffers in the capitol who may not have access to a gender neutral restroom like she will have in her office.
What happens to them? This effects everyone in the building?
Me? I’d use the women’s room and sue them under anti-discrimination laws if they said boo about it. What we need is a legislator willing to do this. Not someone who just goes along to get along.
My understanding is that there are gender neutral bathrooms throughout the capital, on top of the private bathrooms each rep has in their offices. This is still a disgrace.
Sarah McBride is a very lukewarm centrist, she is not going to stand up for herself or anyone else unfortunately. She’s a Zionist, so not exactly progressive.
I also would use the women’s room in defiance of these rules. But I expect her to stick to the neutral ones and toe the line because that is who she is. It’s easy to expect all trans women to be woke leftists/socialists/anarchists or even communists. But we are just a bunch of people with a medical condition in common.
