Yeah. This kinda stuff might help sway some people but for the fascists drafting these bills, this is not a contradiction. The bathroom they want trans people to use is none. They want trans people to not exist.
I think bathrooms are such a common issue with bigotry because shitting is a vulnerable state where in nature makes us vulnerable to tooth and claw type predators. Therefore it's a psychological shortcut to appeal to danger and panic.
Forgive me for making an evolutionary psych argument, but I feel comfortable that I'm not overreaching.
nah, it's always been 100% about excluding people from public life with fearmongering and goes no deeper. gendered bathrooms are a modern contrivance, we didn't evolve to segregate ourselves when shitting for safety or whatever bullshit. you're only helping legitimize hate when you inject weird pseudoscientific bullshit narratives like this.
We talk often of the jews, but lgbt+ people, rom and Slavic people were also in the same troubles.
Talking about Trump and how much is in search of appreciation, I would love to show him what's books from the future will tell about him. The 00's American Hitler (well, until this point he will be probably prod), which all the people hates the most and which everybody will try to do not be associated.
