I find it incredible that global warming is skyrocketing, debt is skyrocketing, we have all sorts of existential political and health issues and the thing people worry about is...

Trans people in bathrooms.

Like, what the heck?

Even if I was anti-trans (and I am not), why would I lose so much sleep over that? What's gonna happen, I see what looks like the opposite sex in the bathroom and my head explodes?

Even racial segregation made slightly more sense because actual societal segregation was the existing state, precedent, and public consensus (as horrible as it was) but... trans people are already mixed into the public?

Democrats should hire a staffer to stand outside of the women bathroom at the capital and have them accuse every GOP women of being a man before they go to the bathroom.

They want to play these games? Let's show them what their crazy looks like

Need a big scary FTM trans man with a beard to loiter in the women's washroom because they have a vagina downstairs.

It's all about the "biology" right??

These are the same people who’d say “stop lying, you look too manly to be a trans!!!1!1!!”

AOC put it nicely, the GQP wants to do a genital check on every woman and girl that dares to go into a restroom. Can’t we just make private stalls open to anyone?

If bathrooms were properly designed instead of having half walls that don't even meet, I doubt people would care nearly as much.

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

They'd find a reason to care because this is about maintaining patriarchy and queerphobia.

I was in a bathroom the other day with a messed up toilet paper dispenser. I didn't notice until a woman sat in the stall next to me and I turned my head to just see full cleavage perfectly centered through this massive like 5x5 inch gap. Most uncomfortable pee of my life.

Worth noting, this was a massive bathroom with like 30 stalls and 3 people currently in it and she chose to sit right next to me :(. It ain't just urinals, guys.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I love the way Alamo Drafthouse in Texas did this. Each stall is a fully walled environment and there's a long sinkway for everyone. No one gives a shit that it's male and female together.

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

There is or was a bar and restaurant in Pensacola FL that tricked people into going into the wrong restroom if you weren't paying attention and/or drunk. It was funny and there was no panic or outrage.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I've seen restaurants do the same thing. Nobody looks at anyone twice. It's perfect

With actually private toilets. Let everyone defecate in peace. We can share the sinks if we must.

So funny what issues the conservative fossil fuel media comes up with to avoid any climate actions. People discussing genitals before extinction definitely show how Darwinism was right. Humanity will die of stupidity.

If you had transition surgery and therefor you couldn't make use of a urinal, could you make the argument that the bathrooms are not fair and equal for you and therefor unconstitutional?

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

if I owned the establishment

removes sign entirely

BATHROOM

"There, y'all figure it out."

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 27 points 1 day ago (9 children)

"This sign is bullshit. There's no baths in that room! Just a bunch of sinks and toilets!"

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

If trans-men wouldn't endanger themselves by doing this, I would encourage them to chill in women toilets.

But they shouldn't put themselves in harm's way just to prove a point.

We should just treat them right and protect them from this nonsense.

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.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

She wants to diddle kids and this is her path to doing so

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Insist on big dick and small dick bathrooms for guys. Really lean into it.

I don't care who is with me in the bathroom. I'm not there to make friends. I wouldn't care if either Nancy Mace or Donald Trump was in the stall next to me.

Just don't talk to me unless it's an emergency, that's all I ask.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I would care. Trump stinks like shit and even though I'm in a bathroom, I only want to smell my own.

Menopause is going to be her karma.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 77 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

Last night I was thinking about the Sarah McBride situation and it got me thinking.

"I wonder if the first black person in congress was told he had to use the Colored Room?"

She just needs to pee!

Have you watched Hidden Figures? There's a point in the movie where having different "colored" restrooms (at NASA in the 1960s) comes into play and... well, the resolution is pretty satisfying.
