Last night I was thinking about the Sarah McBride situation and it got me thinking.

"I wonder if the first black person in congress was told he had to use the Colored Room?"

She just needs to pee!

Until we figure out humanoid robots all people are biological and trans women are women, so....

Biological cripples?

Just unisex the thing. They get a lesson in tolerance and everyone gets equal treatment.

I say we push them harder, hard enough that they mandate single person unisex bathrooms, with the fancy auto room washing function they have in Japan. Then I can finally crap in peace.

Republicans will use anything to generate outrage and distract from the constant war they wage on the working class

The biggest winners of this US elections are the corporations

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (11 children)

we'll see. Media companies, gas companies and private prisons for sure win here, other corporations may suffer if they enact most of these policies:

Invading cities with the US military will destroy real estate markets. My guess is this is a bluff.

Rounding up immigrants (lets not pretend they'll be checking documents) will destroy agricultural corps and one of the US' largest exports

Tariffs will drastically damage consumer spending and costs for electronics (which will indirectly hike data center costs).

Tax cuts will radically increase inflation again.

These people are obsessed with people's genitals. Just go to the fucking bathroom. Must you go out of your way to make even taking a shit in public more uncomfortable than it needs to be?

Shut the fuck up and do your fucking job.

Insist on big dick and small dick bathrooms for guys. Really lean into it.

I'm still trying to figure out what these people [Republicans] are doing in the bathroom. I probably don't want to know. All can say is, when I'm trying to pee in a public restroom, I don't really give a shit who's in the stall next to me. I don't care what their gender is. I don't care what their birth gender was. I'm just trying to do my business and get on with my day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

But if they don't wish me good luck, I don't want to be taking a crap next to them. Sometimes you need that emotional support on the crapper, you know?

Many public restrooms in Iceland are unisex. These apes wouldn't last one road trip.

I will continue to ask these morons if they’ve ever heard of homosexuality. There have been people attracted to other people they see in the bathroom since people started peeing together. Gender does not define sexuality, and neither gender nor sexuality define pedophilia.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To them homosexuality is a disease too. This one is just easier for them to justify at the moment. Once this battle is won they'll absolutely move onto non hetero sexualities.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The only reason trans rights are a big topic now is because they started losing the war against homosexuality and so they found themselves an easier target instead.

yknow its funny, because if you really wanted to, you could argue that the very pretense of being trans is a biological factor, since there must be something beyond what is just "social norms and rules" determing gender. Such that trans people are technically, biological women.

Just not physically. So the correct way to write this would actually be "women determined to be such as by the definition of the classical physical definition, plus the correspondingly accurate neurotypical construction that tends to align with the concept of a woman more broadly"

just rolls right off of the tongue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just not physically.

If we are gonna insist people have to be categorized into either biological male or female, a lot of trans women would most reasonably be placed into the female category and a lot of trans men into the male category.

Trans people change frequently are changing their biology to match their gender.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think that's what [email protected] was trying to say.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think so. Seems like KTI was talking specifically about trans women being neurologically female (and neurology is part of biology). I'm talking about the rest of the body also being female.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

My interpretation is that they were saying that the argument of trying to force people into the gender roles assigned to them based on some sort of physical attribute is dumb. And that the argument could easily be used against itself because trans people being the gender they feel is correct simply because their need to be such is a part of their physiology.

I think the example of trans women was not an attempt to limit this logic simply to them, but was just a method of communicating the idea.

I could be wrong, though. I may have just been reading it optimistically in how I'd want it to be.

I mean if she wants us to break her legs, who are we really to deny her?

[–] [email protected] 76 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If there are stalls with doors in the bathroom, then mind your own damn business if someone is in there. If there aren't, then it's an issue with the facility that should be fixed so anyone using them has privacy. Why are Republicans so concerned about what people do on the toilet or in the bedroom?

"Women may get attacked by trans people" says the party who by far has the larger list of offenders. Clean your own house.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know what, aren't American stalls notorious for giant gaps in them? Maybe if they fixed that and had better stalls things like this may smooth over better. Unless that stereotype of American bathrooms is outdated or not actually the norm
