We cannot let this one pass. New bathroom bill would essentially make it illegal for trans people to use bathrooms in American airports. Don't be surprised when it's followed by national bills preventing people from being trans in public. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/nancy-maces-federal-trans-bathroom
Nancy Mace's Federal Trans Bathroom Ban Would Apply To Major Airports, Hindering Travel

Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who has targeted Congresswoman Sarah McBride with a bathroom ban in the capitol, is now pushing a sweeping federal bathroom ban for trans people.

That is insane. The hubris of these people is only exceeded by their lack of biological understanding.
"Biological Sex" is the production of eggs or sperm? So where do post menopausal women go? What about men with vasectomies? {well, maybe it's still produced, but not expelled}
@annaleen @sloot what about transfems on E? can't exactly produce sperm when you're not T-dominant
@BlankEclair @annaleen @sloot am I understanding that they'd test someone's "woman-ness" by forcing them to cum???

@sloot @annaleen

Restrooms will be equipped with operation rooms for surgical determination if you have sperm or eggs inside your body before you're allowed to pee.

@annaleen Call it a religious practice and the Supreme Court will be giving you free AR-15s.

@annaleen This got me off my kiester to phone my Representative & ask them to oppose this bullying bill, along with all the other trans hate we are likely to see in this Congress.

While I was at it, I emailed Sarah McBride, even thought she's not my rep, to state my support for her. I also said that I support her statement about declining to engage with Mace & Johnson's bullying in favor of doing the work she came to Washington to do. I know Congresswoman McBride has been taking some flack for not directly standing up to this flagrant trans hate; but that's not her job.

It's our job.

@annaleen
Followed by trans people being rounded up and put in private prisons to provide free labor in Tesla factories.
@Joe_Hill now I'm picturing the prison from Andor but full of trans women

@annaleen I'm thinking cis allies could just start walking into the "wrong" bathroom as a protest. Like, let's just put an end to the whole gendered bathroom business.

I am not joking.

@annaleen It's so crazy - I mean, how would they enforce it? Will they make all women drop their drawers before being allowed in to take a pee?

Or maybe that's the whole point - yet another repressive measure against women.

@annaleen
I've never seen a restroom divided by Male and Female in the US. It says Men or Women, if anything.

@annaleen this is segregation and would also effect people like me who are not trans but do not conform to the gender stereotypes mostly because of stuff like sensory issues.

This is fucking stupid.

@annaleen

Yet, once on an aircraft, everyone uses the same bathroom.

@[email protected] I remember when Merely Bein a Congressperson-was due respect. Mace, MTG, Gosar, Ron (from WI), I think of being along Trumps 'Parade' having the opportunity to spit at him-same for me meeting so many congresspersons-if my mouth was dry I'd have to turn my back

@annaleen

Aside from the human rights problem, I suspect that this foreshadows the next two years in the House--not unlike #Trump 45--culture wars legislation and nothing useful.

@annaleen that B#*^% should mind her own F-ING business.
@annaleen I agree this is a proposed law that should not pass. But to clarify, it would apply only to the DC airports. Other airports are run by states and cities and the federal government has no jurisdiction over them.
@annaleen agree. important for cis folks to contact Congressholes on this one. Be loud. Be annoying. Pretty sure most women don’t want to have to dress like a 50s housewife to be above suspicion in the ladies room.
@annaleen She's clearly a bigot and anyone who supports her is either a bigot themselves or are ok with bigots.

@annaleen I think I may need to start bringing my (full) DD cups into men's bathrooms. This gender shit needs to stop.

Pink hair, or blue? Both?

@annaleen The juvenile delinquency of it all, re-creating the junior high girls' room for adults
@annaleen I think it's probably time to look beyond that. That's going to be inevitable to stop now. You'd be better of focusing on what you'll need to have & do to stand any chance of survival or escape. WHILE you still can openly prepare without setting off warning bells in soon-to-exist watchlists.
@annaleen
Give it a couple of years, it'll be illegal for women to wear trousers.
@annaleen
Meanwhile being a neo-Nazi in public is quite fine. If there's anyone I'd like banned from my restroom it would be them and their fascist friends.
