    Imagine spending all your time and energy preventing someone from going to the bathroom.

        Don’t forget the part where they ideologically oppose the gov and claim that “free market” for-profit economics of corporate dictatorship will cure what ails ya.

        If they do their jobs and don’t actively sabotage the gov people might figure out the grift; that they are greedy narcissistic criminals financed by private for-profit interests to destroy democracy and extract wealth from the people…

        Even if the children would use it:

        • womens bathrooms have stalls only, so the children won’t see trans womens genitals.

        • trans men can’t practically use the urinal until they had bottom surgery and therefore have to use the stalls in the mens room as well.

        The only thing left is them implying all trans people are rapists, which is as absurd as implying it for all cis people.

          I mean, a stand to pee (STP) device is a thing. They even market them for cis women. They’re pretty common among trans men, but I’ve never used them because I’m squeamish about stuff with piss on it, and also don’t want to miss and piss myself in public.

          Some look really unrealistic (basically an angled spout on a cup), some look moderately realistic (the spout is flesh colored and penis sized/shaped), and some are made out of silicone, highly sculpted, realistically colored, and you’d never know it wasn’t a penis.

          If someone’s kid is even able to notice the fine details of someone’s genitals or how they’re pissing at a urinal, it’s time to have a talk about where to keep your eyes when you’re in the bathroom, anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      They do actually want to ban Buck Angel from using the men’s room, and this is the point I always use to illustrate the real hatred underlying this issue. They want people like Buck to be forced into the choice between facing arrest for using one bathroom, or facing violence for using the other. That’s the only point of these measures - to make violence and legal threat the only two options available.

      The goal is to ban trans people from existing in public.

    Now, make a bill that all Republicans must share the same trough style urinal. Male, female, man, woman.

    Edit: in addition, all Republicans must subject themselves to inspection for genital verification just because.

    Shape, size, defects, disease, estimated mileage, and other attributes shall be tracked and logged in a public database.

    Attempts to use a bathroom in a different state shall be a criminal offense.
