JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Mississippis Republican-led Legislature completed a last-ditch effort Thursday to revive a bill to regulate transgender peoples use of bathrooms, locker rooms, and dormitories in public education buildings.
People would only be allowed to enter spaces that correspond to their sex assigned at birth, regardless of their appearance or any procedures theyve had to affirm their gender identity. Those who violate the policy could be sued, but schools, colleges, and universities would be protected from liability.
Another proposal failed this year that would have denied the legal recognition of transgender people by writing into law that there are only two sexes, and every individual is either male or female.
shithole red states are the worst tbh
Can't expand Medicaid, but can do this. Fuck my shit hole of a state.They dont care about poor people just identity politics
I will make me obligatory comment that not everyone from MS is a POS conservative.
So a trans man using a woman's bathroom is going to be ok with them and not awkward at all?
Who will be the one suing them? The State?
One of those women was Anja Baker, a member of the Mississippi Federation of Republican Women from the Jackson suburb of Rankin County. Baker said she works with social service providers and was concerned women would be crowded out of spaces they rely on.
They only have so many resources, and they need to have their locations and resources protected for the women that need them instead of getting caught in a game of identity politics, Baker said.
they always forget trans men even exist when they write these billsIt certainly seems that way.
The south is seriously like 2000 years in the past.
It certainly seems that way.They seriously prefer to have full on post-op trans men using the women's room before they want every citizen to use the bathroom they're most comfortable with.
The south is seriously like 200 years in the past.They do have a pretty Old Testament view of the world.
So a trans man using a woman's bathroom is going to be ok with them and not awkward at all?Of course not. Those men will be forced to choose between being assaulted as a creep or sued.
"DUUUURRR DERE'S NO SUCH FING AS TRANS GENOCIDE, DUUUURRRRR." -way too many dumb fucking right wingers.This
they always forget trans men even exist when they write these billsI'd bank on being very aware. The people who argue for these bills might forget but the people writing them don't get that ever so slim benefit.
From the article:
They seriously have no idea that Trans Men exist, do they?
This is all about this fake fear that straight men are going to throw on dresses and bumrush women's locker rooms, searching for women to rape.
That's their number 1 idiotic point.And when you bring up that these bills will increase physical and sexual assaults against trams individuals they say you're the one fearmongering as the cower in fear of a boogie man of their own fabrication.
If you're "biologically male" and you are trans all you want is to assault women and girls. It's their whole shtick.
It has absolutely 0 basis but they know their voter base are equally as stupid.
And when you bring up that these bills will increase physical and sexual assaults against trams individuals they say you're the one fearmongering as the cower in fear of a boogie man of their own fabrication.No, they'll just say that's the point because trans people aren't actual people, because jesus wrote it in the bible.

I would so open a bar that cators to republican voters (maybe even go so far as to make it MAGA themed), have gender neutral bathrooms, and then sue the ever-loving shit out of anyone who used them."But were you assigned sexless at birth? No? Lawsuit!"
"But were you assigned sexless at birth? No? Lawsuit!"
Unfortunately probably wouldn't fly but this kind of malicious compliance with the brand of bullshit they try to push should happen more.
That's their number 1 idiotic point.These republicans have biologically stupid politics

Lawmakers forget trans men exist because they dont watch porn with them in it.
Bathroom bills are ALWAYS designed to make it so trans people can use NEITHER bathroomtbh it's not like trans people could really use either one regardless
This won't affect trans people who pass as much as it will effect men and women who don't conform to traditional gender standards.Yes, many cisgendered people will be harassed by this as well courtesy of the "WCAT" Brigade. Another failing the people that support them miss/ignore.

The south is seriously like 200 years in the past.The world stopped for them when they lost the Civil War. They haven't gotten over that hump yet. It's why you still see "the south will rise again" bullshit.
