Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama all are advancing bills that "define sex" to exclude transgender people from any legal recognition of their gender.
To provide protections for women and girls against sexual assault, harassment, and violence in correctional facilities, juvenile detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, dormitories, and restrooms, or where women have been traditionally afforded safety and protection from acts of abuse committed by biological men.
So you’re saying that women do not currently have protections from assault in these facilities?
The domestic violence shelter shall take reasonable steps to provide individuals with privacy in restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters from members of the opposite sex.
What about the same sex?? This bill seems to suggest that if you are of the same sex of another person, you have the right to assault them in these facilities.
It’s just difficult for me to comprehend how stupid a human, let alone an elected official, can possibly be.
Had a coworker say some shit about encountering some "slur ive never heard before and dont care to remember. I looked confused so he clarified, “a man who looks like a woman.” The speaker is someone im on good terms with, so when i countered, “u know im friends with trans folk, right?” they immediately backed off with, “oh i know, i meant they didnt even look good though.”
I was pretty satisfied with how quickly they went back on what they were saying and began implying theres nothing wrong with being different, so i let off pressure, but the way this guy said the comment on looking good stuck out. My immediate thought was, oh, youre into t-girls, are uncomfortable about it, and doubly so when they encounter a t-woman they arent into.
They dont get real world experience with trans people, so theyre almost like objects or at best npcs to them. Trans people are made up of those they wamna fuck, and those theyd rather not existed.
Note, this guy is hardly the first such type to back off on trans stuff. If youre in regular contact with them, largely affirm their own experience of going thru life, its shockingly not too hard to get many to swing the other way. In groups tho, ur fucked. Youve no chance, and if u get into a group, like we see on the national level, they get defensive, and double down. Most of these ppl dont hold these beliefs as near and dear as the bible thumping redneck whose not traveled beyond 15 miles away from their home that we tend to inagine them as. Most are simply criminally undersocialized.

See… you have to dress like a woman to assault a “real” woman in a bathroom. You can’t just dress like a janitor or slip in when no one’s looking.
Also, if a trans woman gets assaulted in a men’s bathroom, the people pushing these laws consider that a bonus.
I just always like to ask them why they think women would be comfortable with someone who looks like this in the bathroom or locker room with them:
That’s Laith Ashley. He’s a model who was recently cast as Taylor Swift’s love interest in a music video. He was assigned female at birth.
So come on, Republicans of the South. Tell me you’d be okay with your daughter changing into her swimsuit next to Laith Ashley.
