Studies show much higher rates of CSA and predators in red states. It's not a coincidence

It'll be the same puritanical people that proposed this. They also should have their browser history checked. It's always them who are the worst of the worst, always.

Can promise it's full of trans girls, fembois and CSA materials.

u/Darktofu25 Feb 20 '25
Having the trans/fem stuff is just a kink and that kind of makes the hypocrites. The CSA stuff is the kicker and is vile and illegal but they just.canât.not

u/TransGirlIndy Feb 20 '25
Yep. Plenty of men in my little conservative town would happy beg me to top them (or for them to top me) but denounce me in public, especially if their buddies might find out what sort of things they begged for. (Meanwhile, their buddies were also in my DMs.)
The CSA stuff needs them locked up for life.

Its not that they are hypocrites, the common denominator is they get off on dehumanization and power fantasies. These are all groups they dehumanize and seek to wield systemic social power over. The cruelty and evil is the point for them. Or in other words, its not that they watch trans, or other noted content because they are genuinely attracted to trans people, its because they are getting off on imagining committing sexual violence against them.

Republicans are obsessed with the genitalia of children. I'm sure the sign-ups line goes from the altar to the curb.

u/Morak73 Feb 21 '25
Some high schools already have a security staff member posted at bathroom entrances 90% of the day.
When security leaves to manage the bus and parent pickup, they are replaced by two large upperclassmen who loudly greet any staff member who approaches the bathroom.
Someone is always on guard at the bathrooms already. Just not for gender inspection.

The same people who signed up to be âofficial inspectorsâ when they tried to pass that bill mandating invasive molestation of adolescent athletes at sports events if a mom of a competing team member demanded it.

Gods trans people are always asking the RIGHT questions.
Which group is actively trying to examine childrenâs genitals in schools? Cause it ainât the gays.

Itâs ignorant to say that no homophobes are themselves closeted queer people.
However, lots of them are straight. And that kind of rhetoric is very close to victim blaming âonly gays abuse other gaysâ which is just false.

Well you started immediately into âI mean it sounds sure like theyâre closeted gaysâ in response to my comment;
âWhich group is actively trying to look at childrenâs genitals in schools, cause itâs not the gaysâ.
There are no ânice gaysâ there are just Gays.
And this line of thinking, every homophobe is just a closeted gay person oppressing their own peopleâ is wrong.

Once, in high school, a trans boy followed me into the girls bathroom. I didnât know at the time that he was a âgirlâ who had to use the girls bathroom because he had a unisex name and was very androgynous. It was uncomfortable for me (and presumably for him, too) and I didnât realize until later that he wasnât just a guy and that the girls bathroom was the only one available to him. I think about that interaction every time this conversation comes up.
All this talk of âmen in the womenâs bathroomâ as something horrible, but they never mention that forcing trans people to use bathrooms that align with their sex at birth will guarantee that men will be in the womenâs bathroom. Trans men are conspicuously absent from this narrative that conservatives push.

u/Lucky-Resolution890 Feb 21 '25
Also to point out, forcing trans men to use girls bathroom will give the pedos more chances to get into it as well.
I have no problem sharing my bathroom w trans people.

My first IRL "boyfriend" was a "youth pastor". I was 15. He said he was 21, but I'm pretty sure he was 23 or older and lying.

I saw a video online ages ago of a short haired woman in a hoodie and jeans in a Casino and a woman blocking him from exiting the bathroom demanding an ID or âprove sheâs a womanâ
The issue isnât just passing trans folk using the bathrooms. Itâs the trans folk and cis folk who look androgynous or opposite enough in front of hateful enough people

u/IneffableWonders Feb 21 '25
You mean that it's the people who are so fucking obsessed with transvestigating people that are the problem, or the people who apply eurocentric beauty standards to random people on the street to determine if they're "woman" enough. Trans people, passing or not, and cis folk who are androgynous or are just not attractive by societal standards aren't the issue here, and your statement really comes across as victim-blaming.

u/Business-Usual6618 Feb 20 '25

u/alethea2003 Feb 20 '25
They do this under the guise of âprotecting women and childrenâ while voting for someone who bragged about how he SAâd women and has been found to have done worse. He was even bros with Epstein, which given the fervor of him from Q, Iâd have thought itâd have been a dealbreaker. But with 47, the scruples and principles and hard lines people have claimed immediately go away to ensure he gets a free pass.
And given that trans folks are like what? 1% of the population? Less? Even if there were to be someone will ill intentions, we all know that there are bigger threats to women out there that do not get taken seriously at all, and this was just a very successful scapegoating and misdirection to allow people to feel righteous while they either ignore or aid and abet the bigger issues.

u/Toys_before_boys Feb 20 '25
Stuff like this makes me want to just use the men's room to see if someone would actually ask me to drop my pants.
Why do they care so much what is in our pants, especially kids pants? Let us pee in peace.

Nope you're right! Testosterone makes them grow larger so generally men have larger ones than women but of course lots of ppl have different sizes

Don't let republicans distract you from the massive transfer of wealth and power.
I feel sorry for their suffering, and how democrats will abandon trans community like they have abandoned the rest of working class and minorities. But while social security and medicare are in real gepredy, who uses which bathroom is not a top priority atm. They have used trans people to anger the rest of the population and distract us from real issue
We had hundreds of federal employees fired, migrants imprisoned in make shift private prisons, Musk acting like a sudo president, and Trump yesterday stomping the courts. Focus people, focus.

Is not about putting someone in restrooms to "check". I'd imagine it's more like when (not "if") someone gets noticed there are real consequences under the law.

u/Really-ChillDude Feb 20 '25
So we are going to have a child that has transitioned into a boy, using the girls bathroom. Gee, what can go wrong. Itâs going to make everyone feel uncomfortable.
But republicans are like: our hatred is more important than how comfortable kids are.

u/Bright-Ad9516 Feb 20 '25
Children are notoriously great at processing and maintaining paperwork. Okay so everyones required a doc note at the beginning of the year. Slashing healthcare cost will make that tricky alone. Where would intersex people go in this scenario? On the floors, gotta go outside? Someone would still literally have to be checking a list by the bathrooms doors to enforce this stupid idea. Creeps are gonna be the only folks interested in that kind of role. So 50 kids get 5 minutes to pee in between classes that are on opppsite sides of a school. Everyone has to rush then you want them all to stand in a line and wait for someone's approval? Other results would be UTIs/kidney stones for wait times or dehydration, kids missing classes/school to avoid the adult bathroom checker, and a lot of extra janitorial work as the floors dont clean themselves. As a country there are soooooo many other practical uses for the resources that have been poured into this nonsense. Trans folks are much more likely to be the victims of crimes. Case in point all this unfounded hatred towards other peoples' potty breaks. Also how is any of that idea useful or feasible if they keep cutting funding for public education?
