Biological cripples?

I'd love for a bearded trans man to walk in there, look her dead in the eye and tell her not to worry, he has a vagina.

This is messed up. Do they not want trans people to use any bathrooms?

They'd really just prefer it if we didn't exist

Hot take I know, but that’s a bit fucked

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 week ago

Correct, the goal is to eliminate trans people from public life.

Republicans will use anything to generate outrage and distract from the constant war they wage on the working class

Regardless of party! Because we’re such a great country full of decadence that we have not one but two pro capitalist pro imperialism pro forever war parties!

we'll see. Media companies, gas companies and private prisons for sure win here, other corporations may suffer if they enact most of these policies:

Invading cities with the US military will destroy real estate markets. My guess is this is a bluff.

Rounding up immigrants (lets not pretend they'll be checking documents) will destroy agricultural corps and one of the US' largest exports

Tariffs will drastically damage consumer spending and costs for electronics (which will indirectly hike data center costs).

Tax cuts will radically increase inflation again.

Not if they take advantage of private prison structures in which prisoners are already paid like 0.15 cents to do agricultural labor in places like georgia.

The rest of this shit is maybe hype depending on the level at which it actually ends up hurting corporations. Elon's part of the circle because he wants the tariffs because he can't compete with BYD in any market they've been competing in, and he wants to foreclose things like the EV tax credits so nobody else can come up and usurp his position at the top of the market. I'm sure there are plenty of other tariffs that american corporations would be in favor of. The domestic US auto industry basically only exists in the form it does, influencing infrastructure and tons of other shit, because of the chicken tax, which was some random protectionist legislation in the 60's.

Tax cuts will increase inflation for the bottom class, and cost of living, and probably every other metric, but nobody gives a fuck about that.

And I'm not sure to what degree the real estate market will be affected by domestic US military interventionism seeing as how we've already had a couple high profile marches and protests over the last 20 years that have had pretty outsized police and national guard responses, and the real estate market has done nothing but go up basically. Both up in value, and upwards into the hands of mass property management corporations and landlords.

I know everyone's trying to stay optimistic about the sort of, incompetence of the trump regime, and the degree to which this is all just hype and drivel meant to drive the turnout of his base. I'm sure plenty of it is hype, but I'm also sure plenty of it isn't. He still ended up appointing those supreme court justices, which has already fucked over an incredibly large proportion of stuff, and will probably fuck over everything for the next couple decades, since nobody's gonna have enough of a spine to even threaten packing the court.

If there are stalls with doors in the bathroom, then mind your own damn business if someone is in there. If there aren't, then it's an issue with the facility that should be fixed so anyone using them has privacy. Why are Republicans so concerned about what people do on the toilet or in the bedroom?

"Women may get attacked by trans people" says the party who by far has the larger list of offenders. Clean your own house.

These people are obsessed with people's genitals. Just go to the fucking bathroom. Must you go out of your way to make even taking a shit in public more uncomfortable than it needs to be?

Shut the fuck up and do your fucking job.

Many public restrooms in Iceland are unisex. These apes wouldn't last one road trip.

The never ending tradition of conservatives always looking for someone to hate.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ever notice trans men don't have this problem?

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 week ago (3 children)

We absolutely do, even if you don’t hear about it as often.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for opening up

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Of course, Men are expected to deal with their own issues so being this fragile isn't going to be plastered all over the media.

Just unisex the thing. They get a lesson in tolerance and everyone gets equal treatment.
