Republicans want BEARDED, MUSCLEY PENIS-HAVERS TO USE YOUR DAUGHTER'S BATHROOM!
It's interesting to me that I only ever hear men complaining about this issue. That might not be reality, but from what I've seen, men are using "protect our women" as a reason for this hateful legislation when most of the women they are "protecting" don't really care.
Could be confirmation bias.
It's because there's fewer women crazies in power on the right. The ones that have been elected say this kinda hateful rhetoric anytime trans people are brought up to, but most of them aren't elected because Republicans hate women too.
This is a first amendment violation. My bathroom choice is my Expression
What a dick.
Some state has to be the worst in every category, the other 49 states should thank Mississippi for claiming that spot in perpetuity.
TBH that's still preferable to assaulting them like belligerent anti-trans people usually do. /s
Cue them freaking out when bearded hairy trans men are forced to use women's washrooms because of this law.
God bless Mississippi for being just close enough to Missouri that I have hope that it might not be us
