More toilet hysteria.
A manufactured panic about trans people using the toilets they feel safest in, making them (and any other gender non-conforming individual) unsafe regardless of which choice they make, also makes it unsafe for parents to take their young or disabled children to the toilet if the child happens to be a different sex from the parent.
We need to bury these establishments in costly litigation that force these laws to be repealed. Ridiculous people.
“We can always tell!”
They can’t, but that’s not a flaw: the stated aim is to terrify and harass trans people out of public venues, but the side effects, of policing ANY behavior or presentation that is outside of cultural norms - autistic people, short haired women, effeminate men - the point is to use cruelty to enforce homogeneity.
Ehhhh… I wouldn’t say over nothing. Germany was in crisis following The Great War. Were Nazis assholes and monsters and did they prey on bullshit fears of others? Yeah, definitely. But also, their society was falling apart due to massive inflation and street fights and the like.
I’m not apologizing for anyone or anything. Only pointing out that post-WWI Germany was completely fucked up.
Exactly, this is the point. They want to scare trans people back into hiding.
The disability makes this an easy case for this plaintiff, I think New Jersey considers gender identity a protected class also. Manager was an idiot, likely soon unemployed.
Renovate your business and put a bunch of single person bathrooms if you care so much about anyone who may or may not be trans being in your presence in the bathroom. Otherwise shut the fuck up and let people pee in peace
I think unisex bathrooms would be fine too. Just have stalls you can’t peep through and you’re golden. Gender separated bathrooms make no sense anyways.
Even with stalls you can peep through I’ve never had anyone creeping on me in the bathroom, except kids
Kids are the real menace here, not trans people
Outlaw children from public places? Anyone else seeing a lot of upside there?
It’s a fucking bathroom and these people need to get over it. I was driving through Tennessee and had to stop to use the bathroom at a Shell station. I’m trans and the men’s room was out of service. The women said only women and children can use the single toilet room. I argued with her and eventually left to find another place. I reported her to the company and left a bad review but because it’s a private business they did nothing. These people are crazy and don’t actually care about anyone being safe.
That’s insane. I’m not trans or anything but I’ve used single stall bathrooms for whatever sex, and even family bathrooms if that’s all that’s available, who the fuck cares? Use what’s open. It’s unisex when it’s single toilet anyway. I will die on that hill.
Especially if one is out of service… like, what would male employees use?
However, the lawsuit alleges, the theatre’s manager approached them in the cinema’s crowded lobby, shouting “blatantly discriminatory remarks”, including “a grown man should not be in the women’s restroom” and “this is not a transgender bathroom”.
As gross as this story is, this quote really pissed me off. It gave me the impression the manager was excited to do her part in The War Against Christian America Values by publicly humiliating a mother and her teen son. I’m sure the article or even lawsuit leaned a little into the dramatics but it really doesn’t change much for me that the manager was excited to express their bigotry and hate.
