I was just going to post about that.
It's "funny" -- so many bigoted people claim that it's "obvious" when someone is trans and that women will be intimidated by trans women in their bathrooms because they look like "men in dresses."
This, but at the other end of the prejudice extreme are people who say that if transgender people are to blame for their own harassment, because if they weren't flaunting that they're transgender, no one would attack or harass them. The usual victim blaming shit.
This makes me want to just and
So this law has put a weapon in the hands of haters who have a bug up their butt about gender presentation and roles in general, so cisgender women who have (gasp) pixie cuts or who don't wear makeup or girlish clothes are now getting harassed too.
So here's something for the people who are terrified cisgender men will en masse go to women's room and claim they're transgender women so they can peek at or assault women. Can't cisgender men claim to be trans men who are required by law to use women's rooms now? What can a woman do if there's a very masculine man in the women's room, and he says he was assigned female at birth so he has to use it by law. And what about cisgender men who say they're following women into bathrooms because "they want to make sure they're really women?"
I think this law creates even more opportunities for men to sneak into women's rooms to leer or assault. Thanks conservative assholes for making bathrooms less safe for everyone.
There are times when I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race.
