[Friendly reminder: Conservatives are the reigning champions for grooming, sexual abuse, and child rape.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTFikAP6MXDCJjWzgMIOvpsT1ji-HwO-rLEvNE8e-cfCGh0YHoZluIG5TEsmwFub7MzIDfh0XgvcWL8/pub)
She has to follow the rules, and she has her own private bathroom. This impacts interns and plebs far more
Can you just imagine the absolute shitstorm tantrum hurricane Nancy Mace or MTG would throw if they encountered a trans man in the bathroom that was actually just following this batshit rule?
Fetterman is hated on by the Democratic party, but I genuinely think he’s a morally sound person.
That is a class act.
Tip of the hat to you, Mr. Fetterman!
I mean sure but she also has a bathroom in her own office
If hell made an installment of Ann Coulter Barbie in brunette it would be Nancy Mace.
I bet Caitlyn Jenner can use it lol Mace will escort her in
Every day she can mark herself safe from sharing a bathroom with accused pedophile and human trafficker Matt Gaetz is a good day
I dont know, he looks like he takes monster shits
I have criticized Fetterman a ton, but props to him for this. More Democrats should follow his lead here
Of course it’s Nancy Mace who championed the bill, and of course it’s after the first transgender woman is elected to Congress.
From Mace:
> Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say.
And there you have it, Mace is saying the quiet part out loud. This brief remark encapsulates the Republican party’s platform. Only *they* are entitled to “a say.” Only *they* are entitled to the god given rights afforded to them in the Constitution. *They* get to dictate your rights, and God have mercy if you have any *say* in the matter.
> This is a biological man trying to force himself into women’s spaces, and I’m not going to tolerate it.”
> I’m the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina. If some guy in a skirt came by and said, ‘No, that’s my achievement.’ I’m going to be there and standing in the way and saying, ‘Hell no.’ I’m not going to allow men to erase women or women’s rights.”
First of all, trans people statistically do not pose any risk to people in bathrooms and are instead far more at risk of being abused or harassed while trying to use facilities. Yet Republicans, and in typical fashion mind you, pretend like this issue is some widespread, inescapable epidemic.
Think about how ego centric this is too. They’re the victims at the center of a trans agenda thats oppressing *them,* “erasing their rights.” This isn’t about the rights of trans persons, it’s not even an effort to address which bathrooms should be reserved for the trans community, It’s about *their* feelings, no one else’s. It’s about what kind of experience they’re entitled to while using a public bathroom, and f*ck the feelings of the trans woman, this is about me me me.
Someone should ask Mace, or any Republican congressman for that matter, to identify any cases of trans people harassing someone in a public bathroom. And you know what, for the sake of argument, let’s say they do identify a case, It still doesn’t mean that one incident is broadly representative of how all trans persons behave.
What’s particularly unnerving here is that Republicans like Mace just presume they will be tormented in public bathrooms by trans people, that they are under attack, that they are the victims here, when in reality, it’s not only a presumption attempting to justify discriminatory policy, but it’s people like McBride who are the actual victims of harassment in these scenarios.
So Mace and her fearmongering coalition of bigots ignore or outright dismiss the fact that it’s trans individuals who are much more likely to be hassled in public bathrooms, while Republicans like Nancy are the actual enablers of that harassment, and they’re basically resorting to a form of victim blaming.
These Republicans just suspect that trans people prioritize using bathrooms to make others feel uncomfortable, that whenever a trans individual uses a public bathroom, it’s, first and foremost, for the purpose of provoking others. Instead of the fact that, you know, they’re just there to do their own business, and mind their own business for that matter, just like most people who use the public restroom.
Republicans presume a whole lot about the LGBTQ community. And most of it is rooted in their own insecurities, their prejudices, their hate. So they pass laws to validate these feelings. If it’s written into law, it becomes an official acknowledgement. If there’s a law prohibiting Sarah McBride from using the women’s bathroom, it must be for a reason. And now that reason becomes a reality for them.
While make no mistake, this is only one step away from Republican men refusing to share a bathroom with people like McBride. Which is one step away from either banning her from using public bathrooms altogether, or designating a bathroom strictly for people like McBride. You know, just like how bathrooms were segregated a century ago.
This is what Republicans do, they incessantly vilify out-groups, foreigners, gay and trans people, “the other,” so that they can create scapegoats and boogeymen. Then these scapegoats and boogeymen become the targets of their outrage, their hate, their blame, their grievances, their discrimination and ultimately, their legislative efforts. And all of these things are part of a kind of feedback loop.
Their fears, their hate, their hostility towards these groups, and the misinformation and propaganda they generate, help them justify the legislation they pass, and that legislation helps reinforce their fears and contempt for those groups even more, which then strengthens their case for more discriminatory and suppressive measures, and around and around it goes.
I seriously sick of conservative’s hate fueled culture war
I love for this to be a workaround And middle finger simultaneously but it’s awful that we have to resort to this.
Reminder that even as leftists have decided Fetterman is an enemy because he doesn’t pass their purity tests on every issue, he’s still both a progressive and a good person who deserves to be called IN not OUT.
A day ago he’s endorsing some of Trump’s picks, including Dr. Oz. Dear lord!

Just use the bathroom in the fucking hallway and ignore the “ban”.
I’m sorry but just shrugging your shoulders and accepting this “ban” is letting the bullies win.
And the Democratic women in the House should be standing for her on this 100%. They should all just….I don’t know…walk into the bathroom with her to show it isn’t a fucking big deal.
I’m trying not to victim blame here cause what the GOP did is petty, childish behavior. But this is what people are talking about when you just let the bad guys win. Don’t accept this “ban” and fucking stand up for yourself as the grown woman you are.
Ok. All elected officials must have a hall pass now.
Wow
The best way to combat this is for her to say:
🤷🏼♀️ whatever, I have work to do.
It makes them look petty and weak.
There is nothing more American than forcing a marginalized group to use the bathroom on the others idea of town…
Are there no unisex bathrooms there? Because that would solve this stupid waste of time. There are way bigger problems these idiots need to work on.
when i visit the capital ill be sure too pew all over the bathroom floor in protest
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a Fetterman…
Just make all bathrooms unisex.
Fetterman is a true Mensch…
in every sense of the word.
We are so incredibly fucked as a country that this is even something politicians are discussing.
