BoddhisatvaThat’s not at all weird. First off, you are assuming that their arguments are in good faith. I’ll give you a way to always know when their arguments are in bad faith: They’re conservatives. It’s the only arguments they have. Second, they want you in the women’s bathrooms and locker rooms so that they can gang up and kick your ass because you are clearly a man. That’s the whole reason.
ApyteleOr to hide away at home so that they don’t have to explain to their children that sometimes other people do stuff that isn’t your business.
Libra00Nah the kids are strictly an excuse of convenience. So much of conservative antipathy toward gay, queer, trans, etc people amounts to ‘get back in the closet so that I can forget that people who are different than me exist.’ They are willing to heap a lot of hate, discrimination, etc upon other people just so they don’t have to be a little uncomfortable occasionally. Pretty much any time someone drops a ‘Won’t someone please think of the children?!’ what they mean is ‘I hate this but I can frame it as being about protecting children so I don’t look like a hateful bastard.’
Does not have to be Before Christ.
Homie’s got a sick aesthetic. I love that phone case.
Cool phone case
Bro is more masculine than me by half, handsome to boot, and has very piercing eyes. Maybe they don’t want him in the men’s room because they will feel inferior or sexually confused (again).
I promise you there is a swarm of conservatives posting “you’ll never be a woman!” right at this moment.
L3ft_F13ld!He never wanted to be.
Which just makes it so much better. I hope OOP has a long, happy life as the man they were meant to be.
A_norny_moussesexually confused (again)
When homosexual stirrings clash with the knowledge that he’s a trans man, ho boy
Cock_Inspecting_AsexualAs a straight man who was in the same room with him, this is true.
(im not a man, i lied 😈)
Conservatives don’t want people like this to exist at all. They want to force him to live life as a woman.
LadyAutumnForced detransition is one part of it. The other is just forcing all cis women to adhere very strictly with female gender roles. Wouldn’t want anyone thinking you’re trans, better grow your hair out, wear a full face of make up, wear skirts every day, wear feminine colors, and carry yourself to enforced feminine social standards (can’t be too loud men have such booming voices after all, can’t stand up to men because women are afraid of men right, can’t stand or sit too in too masculine a way women always have their legs together, etc).
Cause if someone thinks you’re trans you’ll get the tar kicked out of you, possibly even thrown in jail. They’ll just accuse you of having a fake drivers license and having had bottom surgery. Gender non-conformity is a legitimate liability in places with biological gender essentialist laws about bathrooms.
BUT HES SO FUCKING HANDSOME?!!
I love the sentiment - but does anyone know if it’s real? Or who the original poster is? @ickplant posts a lot of… borrowed content… I mean it’s great content - but I sure don’t trust the veracity. Fact checking and due credit matters - even on ‘feel good’ stuff.
This is Michael Hughes, you can read about him here, but there is a paywall: postbulletin.com/…/he-fought-against-anti-trans-b…
Here is a screenshot:
Thank you so much for providing the source! I LOVE THIS.
You’re welcome!
Like the old days of Reddit.
I’ve come home.
BigFig@ickplant posts a lot of… borrowed content…
Watch your mouth. They contribute more to Lemmy than the vast majority of users.
Totally! I checked and over half the stuff that I forward is posted by @ickplant - posting content is a lot harder than lurking - but giving credit adds so much depth.
I LOVE that they just posted the source because I get to TRULY enjoy the post now.
Asking for sources should never be shamed. As an OG Redditor that’s part of what caused its collapse.
That’s not the part that was shamed, was it?
Secret MusicOh no! Someone is posting content that isn’t theirs on the content aggregator platform! Can you imagine? What is happening to this world?
RymrgandsDaughterhandsome 😮💨😮💨
PsychadelligoatLol that looks so much like my ex-girlfriend (now happily a man and married) that if OP hadn’t fuckin linked who it actually was I’d have pinged him to see if it was
This sentence was a glorious rollercoaster ride.
Thank you for this, it made my day!
Thank you for this, it made my day!
Conservatives don’t want you to exist. All other arguments they put forward are just soft-pedaling to that end goal.
Yeah in Joanne’s Twitter comments whenever anyone brings up the obvious, that men like him are going to go to the women’s room, the retort is almost always that “This is why gender ideology must be eliminated”. It’s just genocide. It’s not fancy, it’s not about safety or fairness or equality. It’s just a meandering nonsense illogical dialog with a predetermined end goal, genocide.
Yeah - this “gotcha” is something that they don’t care about. The point is that we aren’t supposed to exist at all - it’s a ban on us existing in public.
Makes you wonder if we could start petitions to put urinals in the women’s restroom, for post op trans guys. I mean it’s fine right, according to transphobes and TERFs they’re women, and they can pee standing. I reckon it’s their right.
I’d love to see these trans men start using the women’s room and all the chaos it would cause lol
OneWomanCreamTeamI can’t help but feel like that chaos would mostly be trans men getting assaulted.
What’s up with all this “Transgender” stuff?? Is it a place? Why do all the pretty men come from there?
||/j||
paraphrase of a Instagram video my sister sent me: “what’s the place that has the flag of the blue and pink strips that all the cuties have in their bio? I gotta go there. straight BADDIES bro”
Im Asexually Aromantic but I- Wheeeeww
That T-Boy swag goes crazy
SuperNovaStarIt’s a great place
Well also an awful place, but it produces great people 💖
Let’s just push gender norms why don’t we
ClinicallydepressedpoochieSick the lengths this man will go threw to sneak a peak at my pee pee.
Obviously the best strategy to look at dicks is to spend years taking hormones. Everyone knows cis men are very reluctant to share dick pics, so desperate measures are necessary.
Omg my dick picks, I didn’t think of that. This man could walk right into my house and see all my framed dick picks on the wall and I’d be none the wiser! I might consider taking them down because of this.
Makes me wonder what these conservatives are doing in the bathroom? I’m there to take a leak and couldn’t care less who’s in the stall next to me or what plumbing they have.
Who really even makes eye contact in a bathroom? Do your business and gtfo
theneverfoxEvery accusation is a confession… So I assume they’re looking for children and women to assault
All of that is just a distraction, something to keep the conservative plebs busy so they won’t look at the Republican politicians wrecking their country and stealing them blind.
Seriously, none of these politicians give a shit about bathroom usage, it’s all about money and control
Yep, these stupid wedge issues that don’t fucking matter.
Ask each of them how many gender neutral bathrooms they have in their house and watch their heads explode.
Apparently you aren’t aloud to piss in public.
As I cis dude I would pay you no attention going into a Men’s restroom. Well for that matter I wouldn’t give a shit if a person in a gorilla costume came in to use the urinal. Well I might be curious how the fly worked in the costume, but I digress.
You going into a women restroom would likely make me do a double take, but I still wouldn’t care much.
Fuck, just make all the toilets separate stalls with some goddamn privacy and who gives a fuck. It’s not like I wanna have a conversation while I’m taking a shit. Now if I could just get my wife and dog to realize that.
You know what?! There it is!! No more bath “rooms”… just rows of well walled stalls like changing rooms but with a toilet in it.
Have the sink and mirror in plain view of the entire area, so no « but trans women only want to get in the bathroom to assault me » if there are no rooms to begin with!
I wouldn’t give a shit if a person in a gorilla costume came in to use the urinal
My same thoughts
I’ve been to plenty of Men’s bathroom with women pissing into sinks, urinals, fucking in the stalls, shitting in the stalls and giving blowjobs. It’s all fair in love and war baby
In an alt universe, I’d walk in and announce that I’m a very, very, very, butch woman and stand up to pee with the door wide open. If I’m pre-op, I’d carry my piss cup in a bright pink purse.
Okay, cool. So my daughter, who as a child, may be a bit weird going to the bathroom in public, has to deal with this confused Morgan Wallen looking dickturd/twat. Why do I have to deal with your mental damage?
The only “weird” thing to me is that he’s choosing that “cowboy” look, as a non-Republican, in the 2020s.
I guess it’s appropriate if you actually live somewhere with cows and barns and hay bales and tractors and barbed-wire fences, and you ride horses as part of your daily life, but otherwise, you are a cringey poser. The literal basis of the idiom “all hat and no cattle”.
Generally it’s to identify yourself as a country music fan but again, why? Country music is just jingoistic pop with a phony Nashville accent. It’s been a trash genre at least since Garth Brooks, and all the non shitty, non-rightwing country music has had to be retroactively rebranded as “folk” to distance itself from it.
