Christian nationalist North Carolina Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, currently the leading candidate for the GOP nomination for governor, launched an attack on transgender women years after the Tar Heel State's last GOP governor cost the state millions – and possibly billions – of dollars, and cost him his political career over the very same issue.

“We're going to defend women in this state,” vowed Robinson, according to WUNC, at a campaign stop earlier this month. “That means if you're a man on Friday night, and all the sudden on Saturday, you feel like a woman, and you want to go in the women's bathroom in the mall, you will be arrested — or whatever we got to do to you.”

"In campaign speeches in recent weeks," WUNC added, "Robinson suggested that people who previously identified as male should be 'arrested' if they go in a women’s bathroom. Instead, he suggests they should 'find a corner outside somewhere' to relieve themselves."

In a different campaign speech Robinson said, “if you are confused, find a corner outside somewhere to go. We're not tearing society down because of this.”

Disgusting human being.

Wow. This Nimrod doesn't seem to realise that he's of a minority that was segregated not very long ago. It sure wasn't attitudes like his that won him equal standing.

This is what boggles my mind.

Talk about a "I got mine."

Unfortunately it's all too common in minority communities, it's always easier to punch down than up.

If you force me to go to the bathroom outside I'm gonna use your front lawn, buddy.

He says to go in a corner somewhere, so probably better to get up next to his front door.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Funny how most of the cis women I know would much rather a man pee in a women’s stall than outside where they might accidentally see his dick

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Is he endorsing public urination?

The article starts with him being called a Christian and so I thought I'd share this little piece about love.
