This

Republicans want more crimes so they can tell their base its the democrats fault. Not sure why this is a hard thing to grasp.

They openly want their voters to die.

I remember in kindergarten when two boys on the bus kept calling me a girl I got so pissed off that whipped out my dick. If I ever got confronted like this in a bathroom I'd probably be pissed off enough to do the same again. But since it's a bathroom in you're meant to do that there, there's no problem of getting in trouble in this scenario.

Edit:
Oh I thought this was another case of cis people being accused of being trans and being told they're in the wrong bathroom

A new law in Florida aimed at trans people accessing bathroom facilities owned by the state government is reportedly encouraging vigilantes to patrol private businesses too.

Who in the almighty fuck patrols bathrooms?

If anyone feels bad about their life, like they're a loser or not good enough, think of the loser who hangs out in public shitters looking for trans people to harass.

...Oh.

Feels kinda weird that your first reaction to an "anti-trans" topic was "Think of the poor cis people who may be mistaken as trans."

EDIT: On second read, I'm also kinda disturbed about that "If somebody thought I was a girl I'd whip my dick out at them as an adult and I wouldn't get in trouble since it's a restroom" part.

Such situations will happen as well. But missing is just plausible deniability when the goal of the bills is to force ttans individuals to out themselves so that the assholes can harass and assault them.

Of course, it's not like the people who can "always tell" can actually always tell and the laws aren't actually there to protect anybody. Except those participating in the harassment.

But if they take up methods of self-defense then they're the real violent element!
Actually argued by certain right wing pundits.

Certainly, wasn't saying otherwise. Just have actually seen it argued.

As one can figure, big "Why don't they tolerate our intolerance" from the people who want laws that allow them to harass others because their targets won't just take it.

Of course you go for the worst possible interpretation . I just thought this was another story about a cis person who is mistaken for trans that's all nothing sinister or selfish. Try to think more positively.

There's a urinal.... right there, the whole purpose is to whip out your hose and relieve yourself, If they're all up in my business and they get a free show that's on them.

Why, though? Why would "anti-trans" immediately make you think a CIS person was attacked?

That's so different than what you initially said that I can't even begin to take you seriously.

EDIT: Like, you realize there's a HUGE difference, right? You said "If they thought I was a girl, I'd get angry and whip out my dick right in front of them." There's a huge difference between somebody looking at you while you're using a urinal, and you just... Whipping your dick out to show somebody against their will, in a restroom. The latter is illegal.

Why are you so hung up on something so inconsequential? Like don't you have anything better to do with your time?

Sigh... You tire me out. I shouldn't have to sit here and explain my thought process to you like I'm being interrogated. But I will humor you since I'm cool like that.

To put it simply, the last story I read was exactly that. It was a story of a cis person being accused of being trans. Op's post doesn't help either with "from the we can always tell crowd", which kind of implies they can't tell. So it would totally make sense I would go in with the presumption it was a cis person.

@Guide You can also look into seeing if you have a local chapter of The John Brown Gun Club/Redneck revolt or The Socialist Rifle Association. Both are inclusive and extremely LGTBQ friendly. You could also look into Operation Blazing Sword (coalition of volunteer firearms instructors/educators for LGBTQ people) and see if they have a volunteer instructor in your community.
