Kinda pissed that the first trans congresswoman is also a zionist lib. Letting this go unchallenged is only going to embolden the fash.

    The worst part of this is all the cis libs calling it a brilliant move.

    Just kidding, the worst part of this is that it’s an early indicator that we’re going to be bulldozing forward into all sorts of measures eliminating trans people from public life. One party will take everything from us, and the other will think they’re brave for abandoning us.

          The ideal outcome from this is that Nancy Mace’s and Mike Johnson’s constituencies ask why the fuck they are so concerned about congressional bathrooms instead of doing their fucking jobs.

          This is a fight that needs to be fought, but it should be fought in South Carolina’s 1st and Louisiana’s 4th congressional district

          and the Soviet Union should still exist and I should shit candy and rainbows but I’m not holding my breath for any of the above. It’s also not about her “personal needs” (though it’s pretty important to be able to take a piss in the building you work at) but on the needs of all trans people to be able to exist outside in public without Sherclock Jones standing outside the shitter with labia calipers. She is a proxy for a larger fight, nothing happens in a vacuum

          They won’t, they actually hate us and think banning us from bathrooms is a good thing.

              I would hope none of those people would vote republican in the first place?

              Go talk to some republicans, they actually think this kind of thing is good. They want this. They see trans people being banned from the proper bathroom and think its good and want it to happen more.

          all victories matter and each one adds to the momentum for this snowball as it rolls down the hill.
