Do you want super buff trans men using the women’s room? Because this is how you get super buff trans men using the women’s room.
They don’t care. They’re trying to indicate how unwelcome Sarah McBride, the first trans woman elected to Congress, is.
Yeah, it’s so weird how short-sighted this is - clearly they aren’t going to be happy getting what they’re asking for.
But it makes more sense when you consider they don’t care about the “principle” such as it were - meaning their stated premise that somehow gender is immutable from the genitals you have at birth. That’s just the silently-agreed-upon pretext for bullying and hate to someone who makes them uncomfortable, which is the point of it all.
See, that’s not a bug, that’s a feature. When that happens, the more bigoted of the population will scream about men in the women’s restrooms since that is exactly the situation they’ve forced people into, then use that as further justification for more bathroom bills. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle of discrimination against a minority group and the conservatives couldn’t be happier about it.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
