On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

      Can’t use public bathroom for their gender even if they look like any other member of their gender.

      Can’t use public bathroom for their assigned-at-birth gender because they don’t look like that gender anymore and it will feel - and be - unsafe.

      Can’t enter their country of origin because their passport does not match their gender

      Frequently harassed and ostracized, increasingly likely they will be denied healthcare that helps keep them alive

      We’re not playing the “who had it worse” game because everyone loses.

      But they are absolutely fucking oppressed.

        Where do you base this on?

        also i’m not sure if slavery and lynching are the same as being denied a bathroom.

          Base what on? The countless stories of transgender (and cis misgendered) people being harassed in and around bathrooms?

          The understanding based on real world experience that many transgender people pass as their gender, and therefore are clearly out of place in bathrooms meant for the gender that was assigned to them at birth?

          The executive orders attempting to erase the recognition of transgender people entirely and require them to have the same gender listed on their passport as they did on their birth certificate? The State Department not returning or renewing passports for transgender people?

          also i’m not sure if slavery and lynching are the same as being denied a bathroom.

          How many times does this need to be said? How many times do majorities need to fucking hear this about minorities?

          We’re not playing the “who has it worse” game because everyone loses.

            I mean you’re kinda making a blanket statement, I can’t really work with ‘countless stories’ – Can ya specify?

            And please, don’t hold me accountable for making the comparison. I never made the comparison, perhaps you should tell the above user

            We’re not playing the “who has it worse” game because everyone loses.

            And also, I’m not a majority. I’m a minority as well.

              Here you go. Please see… oh, pretty much any result. Throw a dart if you like. I don’t need to specify, because frankly if you somehow missed every last news story, social media post, or just the constantly escalating hateful rhetoric against them, then you absolutely shouldn’t be fucking talking about it.

              No, you made the contrast. You were the one that suggested that one situation is oppression and the other is not.

              And also, I’m not a majority. I’m a minority as well.

              If you’re cisgender, you’re the majority to their minority. You are a majority to them, playing the “who has it worse” game, where again, everyone loses.

                Seems to be only in the US and biased articles. I can’t anything about other countries.

                I hope you see the irony in this lol

                tho, I am curious, why not just use unisex bathrooms? Wouldn’t that be a solution everyone can get behind?

                  A lot of people didn’t see a problem with segregating water fountains by race, either.

                  also i’m not sure if slavery and lynching are the same as being denied a bathroom.

                  Where exactly did you think we were talking about? What kind of bad faith shit is this?

                  And biased articles? My god. Biased against what? Transphobia? What about the edu articles? The research papers? Hmm?

                  I’m sorry, could you explain the irony?

                  tho, I am curious, why not just use unisex bathrooms? Wouldn’t that be a solution everyone can get behind

                  Unisex bathrooms are a solution that almost everyone transgender or ally gets behind. But they don’t currently exist in most places that need more than two toilets in the building. I should clarify, because apparently I need to - we’re talking about the United States.

                  And, by the way, “maybe they should just have a separate place to go to the bathroom”?

                  Sound familiar? Does it sound like segregation? Because it is. They should be able to use the bathroom for their gender without being fucking harassed, or worrying about being harassed. End of story.
