Every place that has passed a law like this has already had problems with women who don’t look “feminine” enough being harrassed.
And the MAGA heads will explode when they see a trans-man with a full beard going into the women’s bathroom, which is exactly what their dumbass law says he has to do.

I thought it was hysterical, I drove through Alabama on a road trip and found a gas station bathroom with a sign on it reading close to “Alabama State Law: men cannot use the women’s restroom. If the door is locked, you are not allowed to use the women’s restroom, it is ILLEGAL”
I pointed out to the gas station attendant that the bill language only states that Transgender individuals can not use the opposite sex bathroom, it says nothing about cis-men. She just rolled her eyes. I didnt, but I wish I went in that bathroom out of spite. (Single toilet bathrooms calm down)
The intent is always hate-fueled, but more often than not theyre too fucking stupid to quote their own favorite laws correctly, and also fail to enforce them correctly.

What’s changed in America isn’t the right to hold whatever belief you want about others, to control your own life, your own space, etc. It’s that the right-wing wants to not have to experience people they dislike in the public space, so we see governmental intervention in providing them that comfort. We all have people we’d prefer not to be around and you may not welcome them into your home. I don’t extend that to believe I should have a say in who gets to ride the bus, walk the street, or use the bathroom. But this is a different America in 2026.

I’m glad she didn’t sign it.
Also, doesn’t that party ever get tired of pushing a culture war agenda?

There was some standup bit floating around Reddit a few months ago.
Something like, “So we all agree there are men out there with terrible intentions.
Murders who think “I want to assault, abduct, rape, maim, and murder innocent women..” We all agree those men are out there. Stalking, waiting, thirsty, insane… But then for these bathroom bans to make sense, we need to think they’re saying… “yes, I want her dead. I want to rape her to pieces. I want to kill, kill, kill…. But…. I’m just not allowed in the girls bathroom”

I’m relieved, but it’s extremely concerning to see bills like this pass and gain traction. I’ve had it with “transvestigation.” My younger sister who is female, identifies female, and loves females so fucking much she chooses to only date them, was scolded BEFORE the anti-woke, anti-trans era for going to a women’s restroom because some lady thought she didn’t look womanly enough. She was 17. Some freak was harassing a juvenile because she didn’t look the right way. She was so timid and shy at the time I don’t even know how she confronted it. Instances like that have and will increase. I don’t worry about trans women in my bathroom, I worry about them in the men’s rooms. And the whole “men will pretend to be women to get into women’s restrooms,” tells me one thing… the problem is still MEN. Not trans individuals.

Republicans truly are perverted psychopaths.
