  • She did this as an act of civil disobedience and let them know in advance she was coming and was going to use the women’s restroom.

    But imagine she didn’t. Instead she went to the capitol, and, following the law, used the male restroom. Just look at her. Do you think she wouldn’t have been harassed or possibly arrested for doing so?

    In practice, trans bathroom bans work like this:

    Use the restroom the law requires you to: get harassed, beat up, and possibly arrested.

    Use the restroom that matches your presentation: violate the law, hope no one clocks you, and you don’t get arrested.

    I’m a trans woman myself. You wouldn’t know it if you saw me in public. And I don’t even have any ID documents with an “M” on them. If I wanted to obey the Florida bathroom law, I would have to use the men’s restroom. But then when I inevitably caused a scene, I wouldn’t even be able to show an officer that I was just complying with the law.

    Trans bathroom bans are ultimately just a means of driving trans people from public life entirely. Comply with the law? Get assaulted by some chud who thinks you’re violating the law. Disobey the law? Risk arrest for actually violating it.

    There’s a reason labeling this a genocidal movement is not hyperbole.
