    I think it has more to do with women requesting that men not be in the bathroom with them.

      I have some genuine questions for you.

      Do you think men go through months (or years) of hormone therapy, potentially go through sex reassignment surgery, buy thousands of dollars worth of women’s clothing and makeup and accessories, get their name legally changed and all their legal documents replaced, and subject themselves to being bullied from every angle including from the state, just to get a peek at a woman’s naughty bits in a public bathroom?

      If a sign on a door works to keep trans women out of women’s bathrooms, do “gun free zone” signs work to keep shooters out of schools? Do you think the people who don’t care about laws against sexual assault care about bathroom laws?

      The bottom line is this: Men already generally don’t go in the women’s bathroom. The men who want to assault women aren’t going to upend their entire life by pretending to be a woman just to gain entry to a bathroom, and they certainly aren’t going to care about a sign on a door. They’ll just assault women as they have been doing since the dawn of time, no skirt and matching heels necessary.

          It’s an internet forum that picks targets they think it would be funny to harass (dubbed “lolcows”) and then doxes, tracks and harasses them.

          It started life as people following, doxing and harassing Chris-chan (as a consequence Chris-chan is probably the single most documented human in history because of internet weirdos). Chris-chan did eventually come out as trans, but that didn’t happen until they’d already been obsessively watching them for over a decade so they clearly didn’t start targeting them because of trans status.

          It usually gets painted as being a primarily anti-trans site, but they don’t limit themselves to trans people, though they do have a board for trans targets. They have an entire board dedicated to furries, another dedicated fat activists, etc. If you’re internet-famous and kinda weird or controversial, they’ve probably started a thread to at least start obsessively gooning over you if not worse than that. Their thread on Musk has the blurb “Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter owner + ex-paypal CEO. Manchild, sexual deviant, spergy autist with access to space travel .”

          The site most recently made news headlines when CloudFlare decided to cut them off, being the first time that CF has ever behaved in the fashion of a content moderator. This took them down for a couple of days until they found an alternate anti-DDOS solution.

      Transphobes are literally requesting that trans men be forced to use the women’s restroom, so that’s not true.

          That seems to be where the disagreement lies.

          No, it’s where your strawman lies.

            No, Some people believe that your gender is decided by the person and is fluid and can be changed whenever. Some people believe your gender accompanies your sex and is set at birth.

              Sopme people believe folks should be who they are, and others want to force them into boxes, discriminate against them, and generally poke their nose into shit that’s none of their business, and that they poorly understand in any case.

              Most of those same folks in the second group are real big on taking rights away from anyone who isn’t like them. (GOP is, after all, the party of taking things away, and has been for as long as I can remember.)

              And no one really wants that shit here, or has much tolerance for it.

              You are getting what you want in the streets right now, a lot of terror being visited on those who don’t conform to the maga worldview. They’ll get around to physically attacking queer folks soon instead of just trying to take their rights away. So go ahead and enjoy it until we find a way to put a stop to it, but don’t come here to try spreading more of your baseless shit and expect a warm welcome.

                I dont belong to any party thanks. I do find it interesting that your side has taken the position that anyone that disagrees with you in any way is your enemy. Ultimately that position will make recruiting voters for your cause more difficult. The other side’s messaging and strategy seems far more effective and the diversity in their voting base and increased margins of minority supporters\LGBTQ\female voters would indicate your side will not return to power anytime soon(unless they lose them). Have you ever thought of adopting a different approach?

                  You are willfully spreading bigotry via strawmen and a poor understanding of those you seek to oppress. That’s what makes you my enemy. Not that you disagree “in any way.”

                  I dont belong to any party thanks.

                  So? No reason to think you voted for anyone other than Trump based on positions you’ve expressed. And even if you did, you are clearly on board with the destruction of everything that doesn’t center cis white hetero men as is currently taking place.
