"So I'm just supposed to let a person who looks like a man in a dress go into the women's bathroom??"

Yes literally yes. It blows my mind that people still do not understand this. There are zero instances of a person doing this with criminal malicious intent. Public bathrooms are for the public. That means even sharing it with people whose exact shape, size, and color of their genitals could be a mystery to you. You are not the crotch police.

Don't like that? Then fucking pee at home.

did i already tell you my story of pretending i knew a trans lady so she could go into the bathroom with me while we talked because there were Karens everywhere and she looked nervous going in? she was older too and i totally felt that in my bones as being Dx autistic at 50. she looked like she was still trying to find her style and feel comfortable in her own skin.

so i locked my arm with hers, we went did our thing, chatted a bit, she thanked me profusely & we went our ways… 1/2

@blogdiva @Lana This is actually the kind of thing they tell you to do in bystander intervention training: if someone is being harassed (or something like that) by bigots, you pretend to know them, chat with them, walk them to safety, etc
