It’s not about bathrooms. It’s never been about bathrooms. It is only and will only ever be about hurting trans people for being “other”.
I don't think it's that for most of them.
I think it's more along the lines of "trans people are so different they make me uncomfortable and afraid, and we need to keep them away."
If they realize the harm that causes, they simply don't prioritize it relative to their personal comfort and perceived safety.
Very few people are the raging psychopaths your line of thinking implies.
That's why this headline is funny.
Next thing you'll tell my "state's rights" had nothing to do with states or preserving rights. /s
When someone says State Rights, your response should be, "state's rights to do what?"
The civil war was about states' rights.
States' rights to not send escaped slaves back to their home states where slavery is legal. The South wanted to force the North to give return escaped slaves. The North said no, if they come here they're free. So the South started a war about it, because they didn't want the states to have the right to make their own decisions about slavery. The South wouldn't put up with any state supporting slaves who relocated to within its borders.
Is it even about trans people or is it about generating a moral panic about them that might result in the creation of a genitalia inspector profession that will oppress all women? For their safety, of course.
It’s definitely about trans people. Harming anyone else is just a fringe benefit.
Oh, there are absolutely people who have gender segregated bathrooms at home.
(is this real?)
what
You got no idea what sort of things I do in my gender neutral restroom at home. Its only one thing and it's disgusting! Actually 2 things. No 3 different things. No wait, that would be between 4 and 10, possibly up to 20.
