      I bet it wasn’t a flush bathroom though. They probably just left all the kids sitting in the pool, getting called racist names n shit.

          It at least shows trans people that someone gives a shit about the erosion of their ability to exist in the world without harassment. What would be a more effective response?

            Focus on an issue that affects the most people at first. Keep doing that instrad so people stop seeing it as “they only care about them” and start seeing it as “those people care about everyone”.

            Whether we like it or not, thats how a lot of people see it. “They care more about a tranny going to the bathroom then me struggling to pay bills”. Its not right, but it is what it is. So lets do things that lift everyone and then we get capital to focus on a few.

              Civil rights groups work to help the groups they’re for. Harming trans people and immigrants is just a distraction for conservatives, but it still causes real world harm, so people are going to do what they can to help. They can do the wrong thing, which is why i was curious about your opinion. what could this specific group do, to more effectively help trans people? Staying under the radar and using their energy elsewhere? The protest getting media attention at least showed trans people that someone’s willing to risk it for them. But it’s likely there were better ways to help.

              Keeping in mind that this group of people is going to be oriented towards helping trans people, what would have been better? Starting a letter campaign about how legislators should get themselves off the toilet and back to work lowering inflation? Do bathroom sit-ins in Odessa, TX, instead? I really don’t have any good ideas, but people will want to do something, and I’d rather their energy accomplish something.

          So true bestie, we should just keep throwing women and minorities to the wolves because actually doing anything to stand up for them would be taking “the bait,” which is actually “more” of a waste of time than the obsessed fascists cracking down on their rights in the first place.

          Don’t forget to breathe, I can only imagine that remembering to do so is quite the challenge for someone of your intellectual pedigree.

    And you wonder why Dems lost the election. I’m sorry but most america thinks that inflation is a bigger problem than what bathrooms people use

      Weird, it’s the Republicans who keep making all the rules about it, though? Dems just react to assholes trying to be assholes, if you disagree with that then you’re an asshole

        No I’m just saying there are worst things to fight over on both sides than the bathroom at the capital

          Exactly, which is why Republicans should fucking stop

          But you’ll blame the Democrats fighting the children-in-charge rather than the children

      TIL we can only care about and only address one problem at a time.

      That’s why we can’t talk about gun reform after a shooting!

      How do you actually find enough food to survive with your Arctic winter temperature IQ? Those pathetic cowards didn’t bring up trans people once on their campaign. You know who’s obsessed with them though? The guys who won.
