BTW, can a woman sue a man for using the ladies’ toilet?
… Yeah wouldn’t that be there while point? They don’t consider them women, so they are upset that “men” are using the women’s room
Right, but can a cis woman sue a cis man for using the women’s toilet? I have to assume the answer is yes, there would be legal grounds to sue. Or at least that the lawmakers and governor believe there would be.
Cue them freaking out when bearded hairy trans men are forced to use women’s washrooms because of this law.
Does this also affect any private establishment that wants to have a non-gendered bathroom? Like can those businesses sue the government for overreach for putting an onerous burden on their business for needing more than one bathroom?
That governor looks like an adult baby. Creepy pedo vibes for sure
Peter Griffins special needs brother
Oh, awesome! Cause that’s what I need when I’m struggling. I don’t need health care. I don’t need a livable wage. I don’t need equal rights. I need to sue trans people.
See? Repubs are giving us a path to success. Just sue a trans person who maybe has no money to pay out and everything is fine!
I would always always always rather go to the bathroom with a trans person rather than a conservative. Those people are truly dangerous, and trans people are awesome. They also are not the ones who randomly decide to shoot someone for existing.
All conservatives are trash.
All anybody isn’t trash, however most might be.
Except, like, Nazis? I’ll agree that people should never be Nazis
No, they were correct.
but my umbrage
I was wondering if Alabama would somehow be the worst for a while, there’s always Mississippi
Typical fascist America.
In fascist capitalist America, they check your genitalia before you use the bathroom.
Every American criticizes North Korea and China for much less.
Yes, the United States of Mississippi
we need to make suing people illegal, i think.
Petty lawsuits should not just be dismissed but the accuser should be charged with a misdemeanor.
i think we should allow lawsuits if you assume the full cost of the suit, meaning that if it’s an ez win, you can just pro bono that shit.
imagine being one of the guys to get run over by some careless celebrity’s SUV though. “every bone in your body is shattered and your legs and torso are beyond recognition? too bad you can’t sue me over it”
or you know, something actually serious like getting your water supply tainted by some company dumping chemicals. that’s not as funny as attempted vehicular homicide though
Mississippi governor volunteers to be a piss-bucket
Let the rest of NA band together and start calling them pississippi and let their residents scratch their heads
And if they get uppity about it, they get labelled MissusPissy
If I ever go to Mississippi I guess I’m gonna have to piss on the governor’s mansion instead
Why would you ever do that?
Go to Mississippi I mean, it’s the literal worst state in the worst country.
You don’t know how much that means to me as a Texan. I was thinking we were the worst, but you give me hope.
As a former Floridian, I thought Florida was the worst.
No, wait, I’m pretty sure Florida is still the worst, but Mississippi is going to be joining Florida on Erin’s Do Not Travel list. :(
Florida speed ran to the bottom. Mississippi has been awful from the start. Texas is the disappointment state, it keeps looking like it might turn blue before pulling some bullshit
America sucks but have you heard of Haiti?
the worst country
This seems a little dramatic
Try being trans, gay, or black here then get back to me.
Edit: or poor. Or homeless. Or neurodivergent. Or mentally ill.
Actually you know what, just go fuck yourself, how’s that?
just go fuck yourself, how’s that?
This also seems incredibly dramatic
I’m not trying to say that the US is perfect, but do you honestly believe that the US is the “worst” place to be any of the things you listed?
There are plenty of places in the world you would be put to death for being gay. Try asking an immigrant from literally any of those countries if they prefer the US and get back to me.
We did it guys! The bar is a millimeter off the floor and we cleared it!
You’re actually arguing that the difference between being put to death and not is a “millimeter off the floor”? That is some privileged nonsense, frankly.
I agree that the US has problems, but hyperbolic doomerism is hardly conducive to changing any of that.
I’m saying “Some places are worse” is not an argument that “This is fine”.
The point being discussed is that this is a terrible law and an example of Mississippi being a shit hole. You are just side tracking the conversation because you don’t understand the function of hyperbole in speech and think talking about how “The US isn’t literally the worst place to live” is somehow a helpful or useful conversation to have in light of the topic art hand.
The US has problems, and insisting that some places are worse is hardly conducive to changing any of that.
Looks at Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, etc
I’ve got real bad news about how the rest of the world feels about those things then.
As sad as it is, America is one of the most progressive and diverse nations in the world.
The US is the worst country? Wat? Bro, have you heard of North Korea?
Can we petition to rename it Missipississipy?
Too difficult to pronounce. Let’s just call it Pississippi. There’s too many M states and only one P state anyway 🤷
Can’t wait for all the dudes walking into the ladies room simply because of chromosomes. They never consider the reverse when dog whistling…
They don’t care. Their goal is for trans people to be too afraid to go to any restroom, or for them to face consequences if they dare go to any restroom.
Pretty sure this already happened to a trans guy once and you wouldn’t guess what they did…. They were mad about a man in the women’s room 🤦♀️
He got beat up and arrested.
You how they say, “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature”? Well…
Can trans people sue cis people for harassment then?
No. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” Trans people are one of their main out-groups.
Sounds like people need to start suing the Mississippi governor every time they use a bathroom and demand a genital exam.
