Why is all the fuss over women's bathrooms in these things? Thought we had moved past the 'women can't protect themselves and need men to do it for them' thing at this point.
To me, it feels like fear-mongering. If you don't think trans people are dangerous, you won't "need" a Republican to "protect" you from them.
The bathroom argument is especially silly when you recall that unisex bathrooms have existed for a long time, and all they require is better stalls than American bathrooms tend to offer. If protecting people in bathrooms was really a goal, they would just make walls that go to the floor legally required.
I doubt if most of the Republican politicians/ pundits even believe half the stuff they say about trans people. They are simply the target du jour, and Republicans will say anything they can think of to make you afraid of them.
