      I was about to ask, what’s with the privacy policy of that site? How can a website that focuses on an oppressed minority be so shitty about their personal data?

      I’m not telling your community what to do, but this seems very unsafe und unwise to use.

    Trans identity supersedes all law, or medical context, or any other bullshit justification for dehumanizing anyone experiencing any form of Gender Dysphoria.

    You as a person reading this have value. Just by your very sentience you have worth. You are loved.

    We will overcome this moment in our history eventually, we may not all live to see it happen but we will. I know that’s an atom of relief in a sea of pain. Don’t let this bullshit dim your shine.

    I love each and every one of you.

    Any allies game to go to the mayor’s office and conduct a shit-in?

      There should be a name for this. “The constituent letter” or “The Pelosi kiss” or maybe “The MAGA crayon.”

      I can legally shit in any room. I even have a card somewhere licensing me to do so. My shits are the stankiest. I can’t make it to Odessa until 11/1 (i have an appointment today) but I will gladly drop a deuce directly in his office.

    Some of us remember the coed bathroom featured on the hit 90s show Ally McBeal. It seemed like a progressive but not so far fetched idea at the time. So WTF are we doing still arguing about this 25 years later? These bathroom nazis need to get a grip.

      Agreed. I’ve never cared what the person who uses my bathroom at home has between their legs. Why should I care in a public bathroom?

      The real answer. Skip the whole gender thing if it’s an issue. Certainly public restrooms being ungendered entirely won’t be a problem, who knows why we have it this way…

        The answer is sexism. When women started to enter the workforce there was concern that they would get “overwhelmed”, so gendered bathrooms were created to give them a space they could go to that feels like the home.

            No, bathrooms are a fairly modern invention that evolved from outhouses, which are gender neutral, or chamberpots, which are generally made specifically for one person. The invention of the modern bathroom with indoor plumbing came about in large, male only factories, and then a new environment, the restaraunt.

    The bounty defines biological sex based on birth certificates, either at the time of birth or corrected if there was a clerical error.

    What if you were born intersex? The story talks about the lack of provisions for disabled persons. There are so many holes in this ordinance. It is so going to get thrown out in court.

      I have a trans teenage cousin in Texas. We’re not close, but I worry. All I can really do is let him and his mom know I exist in a “safe” state and hope they reach out if they decide to leave.

      I live in TX and see lots of trans people living their lives. It’s a much more purple area though, but we still have a lot of crazies

      Oh, last time I saw only Florida had that dubious distinction. They’ve been busy. It’s infuriating what a shithole a large portion of this country has become.

    While the bounty is set to a minimum of $10,000, there is no cap on how large the bounty can be.
