(2,346 posts)Their policy would be to force trans women to use mens bathrooms. Where they would not be safe. Because of cis men.

So many men, so many restrooms, so many issues.

(3,733 posts). . . the dumbasses raving about transmen in women's restroom don't have a clue what they mean.
Meanwhile -- I live in Virginia. One of the political blogs in Virginia is an accumulation of half-wits, dumbasses, former Tea Partiers, and MAGAts. I won't identify it, however, this bit of wisdom was posted recently by a guy who is a local Republican Party official, a member of the Republican Party of Virginia Executive Committee, and was recently defeated by a Democrat for a seat on his county Board of Supervisors.
This is how these people "think:"

The average Democrat supports abortion after birth, transgender surgery for teens without parental consent, the Ayatollahs in Iran, and Hamas/Hezbollah. Theyre sick.

Loved living in NoVa (mainly living on beltway/gov't jobs) and traveling into the mountains. The valleys and red soil country were "interesting". Lots of gentrification going on which also build resentments.
Edited to add that damned missing Oxford Comma in the title:
Was "... one half educated and liberal and 60 percent confused"
Now "...one half educated and liberal, and 60 percent confused"
I don't think I've ever detected my own mistake making mistakes...
But, all swell that endswell.

(7,277 posts)Just to address the 2nd claim: Teens getting transgender surgery. Does this numpty have any idea how much that elective surgery costs? Where would a teenager get that kind of scratch?
I've seen Repukes make some idiotic statements, but that one takes the cake.

(20,960 posts)I was in Paris in 2015 with a group of high school students. I went to a public bathroom, did my business in the stall, came out, and while I was washing my hands at the sink, a middle-aged man exited the other stall, walked to the sink next to me, smiled, and washed his hands.
So, ok, it was unexpected, to say the least, but after a moment, I shrugged and went to join my group. No trauma, no drama.

(3,452 posts)First of all, Ive been around straight cisgender men all my life (Im gay), and let me just tell ya: the last thing they would EVER want to do is dress like a woman to sneak into a bathroom. That would be an insult to their manliness.
Second, if a straight male wanted to go into a womens restroom to assault someone, what is stopping him? Public multi-user restrooms dont have locked doors. This is a thing that doesnt happen.
They just want to harass trans people. Thats it.
