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.

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!

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago

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.

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

The biggest winners of this US elections are the corporations

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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.

I know it's not a very hip position right now but I think the incoming administration will turn out to be mostly hype. They'll get bogged down trying to get the blue states to comply with some insane piece of legislation on something with no federal jurisdiction, and blame their failure to do anything on that.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like copium to me. Why would this fascist authoritarian regime be less successful than all of the other big fascist authoritarian regimes in history? They don't care about the law.

I'm thinking similarly and that the Democrats will use the Senate filibuster to block as many things as they can. Of course, conservatives may end up changing the filibuster and ram through all their terrible policies, then they'd only have until the midterms to pass all the crazy stuff they want to pass. Unless they figure out an illegitimate way to stay in power and go full fascist authoritarian on us. No matter what, the next few years are gonna be terrible.

Until we figure out humanoid robots all people are biological and trans women are women, so....

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 69 points 22 hours ago (4 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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What if they’re a grower not a shower? How do we sort this out we talking flaccid or erect? Can half these congress critters even get an erection without chemical help?

I'm still trying to figure out what these people [Republicans] are doing in the bathroom. I probably don't want to know. All can say is, when I'm trying to pee in a public restroom, I don't really give a shit who's in the stall next to me. I don't care what their gender is. I don't care what their birth gender was. I'm just trying to do my business and get on with my day.

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

[–] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 138 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 52 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 17 points 14 hours ago

This is messed up. Do they not want trans people

No, no they do not.

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 111 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 77 points 1 day ago (2 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.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 16 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

You know what, aren't American stalls notorious for giant gaps in them? Maybe if they fixed that and had better stalls things like this may smooth over better. Unless that stereotype of American bathrooms is outdated or not actually the norm

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Yes they are and I hate it.

Worse, my high school had no doors on the bathroom stalls at all (at least in the boys' room). I'm guessing it was some sort of "we don't want to catch you masturbating" sort of thing but I would almost always just hold any shitting I had to do in unless I was in drama class because the auditorium had bathrooms with doors.

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