American freedom is about getting arrested when peeing in the wrong public bathroom.
This has always been the point.
It has never been about which restroom trans people use, it was always been about being able to harass and vilify trans people.
The right doesn’t want to just enforce gender binary, they want to erase anything and anyone that falls outside it.

I agree, we should all be using squat toilets. These newfangled high-seat toilets are bad for our posture.
define ‘their biology’

Too dumb to understand, got it.
Don’t expect any logic from regressives. What they want is not for trans people to use a specific bathroom. They want all trans people dead.
having talked to some, they seem to want trans people detransitioned. Which is somehow more disgusting.
Thats only their current public agenda. Trans people not existing at all is their end goal though, and every step on that path they will keep going further until there are death camps
So that’s slightly better than wanting them dead I guess
It’s effectively the same, but a slower more painful death.
Its really worse actually.
I’m pretty sure that recent UK Supreme Court case ended up making it illegal for trans men to use any public restroom. My understanding is that it forces trans women to use the men’s but has a carve out saying that trans men can’t use the women’s.
Can you provide a source? I’m curious to read more.
The whole situation is a dehumanizing mess.
People forget trans men exist. We’re invisible. Fuck that judge, we know what pronoun the source is replacing.
They dont care what bathroom a person uses. It’s not about the restroom … it’s about legal harassment.
Also … what the fuck are people doing to get gender checked and arrested? There is no law about obeying the gender sign (at least not in my state or any state I have been in). Is walking into the wrong bathroom a crime or something?
The bar owner harassed them personally. They charged them with trespassing and public intoxication, despite the fact they consumed no alcohol and were not breathalyzed.
Fuck these corrupt police, and fuck that bar owner.
Hopefully when MAGA falls out of fashion in 3.5 years there is still enough time for lawsuits and punishment.
Fascism doesn’t fall out of fashion
good luck with that one.
It has increasing been made a crime in various states to various degrees. See the woman who was arrested in the Florida statehouse and the college bathroom ban in Ohio.
Dystopian. That’s fucked.
We all knew this would happen.
None of this would happen if we just did it in public. Just saying. /s
Oh, no, not falling for this one again. I just got off the list.
Republican laws working as Republicans intend.
Cruelty and oppression was always the point.
If I was visibly trans or questioned, I’d rather shit myself than go to a public bathroom at this point.
Not sure why you are getting down voted. I had friends faced with very uncomfortable choices if they were unable to get home at time.
Yeah. Idk, probably because I said I’m trans. Lol Haters gonna hate. But it really sucks these days.
They (person in photo) can grow better facial hair than me. Fuck me man
He*
This is dumb as f.
Just make all male bathrooms gender neutral. Bam crisis averted.
It’s not dumb. It’s exactly what they want: to remove trans people from public spaces entirely.
I would consider arbitrary rules that are intentionally impossible to follow based on hate is very very dumb.
i once took a shit in a unisex bathroom in a park in portland…
oddly enough, it was exactly like taking a shit in any other bathroom…Changing only men’s bathrooms is just asking for backlash. Just make every toilet an individual unisex half bathroom with floor to ceiling walls and doors. A toilet, a sink, and a mirror. No more silent mode shits, no more pee shyness. If raising the national minimum wage only made products go up by a few cents some bathroom construction loans will barely do the same. I’ll pay an extra 10 cents for my burrito… Oh that’s right they already have individual bathrooms. Airports, malls, amusement parks, stadiums, music venues? ¯\(ツ)/¯ get gud
At work they put in a bunch of these during a renovation a few years ago. Only problem is we hit hard times and didn’t renovate more bathrooms so these are far away. I make the trek over to them when I need to poop though. So much nicer than the men’s room.
If they changed building code so all new buildings did that it would solve the issue. but my solution won’t change existing infrastructure. Its just a sign change.
Yeah that works, but often male toilets currently only have one stall. Would need to shift that balance for this to be an effective strategy.
Or north Carolina where no stalls in bars. I guess men dont poop.
Do you want drunk people shitting in the urinal? Because this how you get drunk people shitting in the urinal!
Woman don’t want to be stuck in a small space with strange men.
women
men
what’s the difference? Gender is a social construct.
Exactly! That’s why elevators, train-cars, busses and airplanes are always segregated by sex.
Being serious for a moment I just want to point out the irony in using the threat of male violence as an excuse to uphold patriarchy rather than a rational for dismantling it.
That’s why they said “all male bathrooms” and not “all bathrooms”
Yup Thats my point. Keep women bathroom as is. Open up the “biological male” bathrooms to everyone.
Yeah not sure why you’re being downvoted, I think people just assume you’re the person I replied to originally and just downvote without reading.
I Don’t see downvotes lol.
I suspect it is because as other commentors mention is this poses risks for Trans people outing themselves. I see gender neutral bathrooms regularly at events and not just 1 stall either. So I hardly consider this a controversial take especially when the existing rules lead to jail time if you follow or dont follow it.
SO TMEN DO EXIST, HUH
It’s like their weird concept of immigrants that are simultaneously lazy non-contributors and taking our jerbs.
You mean,lady with facial hair
Go fuck yourself
Better yet, get off of Lemmy, this isn’t a place for this transphobe shit.
lemmy.world account
‘Lady’ implies a feminine gender of a high social or economical standing. As gender and sex aren’t the same, no, that’s incorrect. A more accurate description would be ‘man’
The audacity of the Fucking piece of shit above me.
You’re just mad because they’re right lmao. Seethe and cope some more.
They’re obsessed with trans women.
That trans men also exist breaks them.
This would never have happened had a trans woman entered the men’s.
The hate is always their point
