Current Events > Florida legislature passes anti-trans bathroom bill.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Republicans are traitorous putting companies and personal profits ahead of Americans and using these culture war the same way Germany did with the Jewish.

There's a problem in the economy because of robber Barron opportunists then they blame a minority to take attention away like it's transgender people fault that Florida is a shit hole. It's not.

Republicans are already pushing anti democratic speech and have already made their bed fellows. To vote republican is to be a traitor to your country and to your family if they served in WWII. The republicans have completely endorsed libertarianism which is rule of large corporations and power is money.

I sincerely hope that the ship is righted quick because I really want to stop seeing the general attack on anything not White Christian Nationalist. Unfortunately the momentum has been sent since they learned their lessons with Nixon.

This rush to the far-right in states proves that state sovereignty is out of control.

It's just not tenable to have a purported country where something can be legal, a goddamn human right in some areas, but first-degree murder, child molestation, rape, etc. in others. That's not a country. That's rival nations sharing a military.

I think someone mentioned a "pee-in" and I think, along those lines, of a protest happening something like this:

1. An event. Preferably a government-related event, but it would otherwise need be some kind of public event. The venue has to have gendered bathrooms. Not just port-a's.
2. The protestors pick one set of gendered bathrooms and gather both outside and inside the women's bathroom. The only people in the bathroom itself are women. You only need enough to fill all the stalls. Outside should be at least four people, but preferably more, gender-mixed.
3. The protestors bar entrance to anyone who wishes to use that women's bathroom. Anyone. They will cite that those people cannot prove they are women and thus the women currently inside the bathroom are being protected, as per the new law. They may have to physically block the entrance, which would of course, be why it's required that there are at least a few people and preferably some strong people.

Furthermore, the protestors place signs making a few things explicitly clear:

• That it's a protest against the specific law. No need for false flagging.
• That they're in place, regardless, to "uphold the law" by denying access to the bathroom to anyone that they believe is not a woman. (The trick here being they will believe no one is a woman)
• That the only acceptable way to prove being a woman is to submit oneself to "an inspection" as a requirement to enter, and be no more specific than that.
• Probably some other pithy slogans asking people "Do You Feel Safer Now?" and some such.

In case of any outcry, protestors will point people to the men's restroom nearby or to any other restrooms at the venue that they can use, but not this one, "for the protection of the women inside".

This is, naturally, a dangerous protest. I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone try this.

You'd think there would be more pressing issues like homelessness, child poverty, crime. Instead they focus their efforts on attacking the LGBTQ community

Clown state

Whole fucking clown country tbh

For all public spaces. This includes parks, public buildings, schools, airports.

If a cis person asks you to leave, you must, or face arrest.

This is violence.

This is genocide.

ok ok ok I feel that desantis is really using all this anti-trans stuff as a pilot to bring back stuff like colored water fountains and colored people sit in the back laws.

it is worrisome. Didnt he just pass a law saying that Uber drivers, bus drivers and cabbies must confirm citizenship (implying they can tell if an ID is fake!) of Hispanic passengers?

oh! From reading this link; if you look illegal (Hispanic) and you end unconscious, at the ER, bleeding to death, but you cant prove citizenship, they could theoretically just throw you to the sidewalk or dumpster until you wake up and produce a passport or something

The (not) funny part is that if you demanded to junk check them or even ID card flip to see that their Florida State ID/Driver's License says (fe)male, they'd sooner deck you than show you.

This bill will generate jobs, though. Jobs such as restroom gender inspector, maybe the likes of certain cat who is also a man, a boy, if you will, will finally get one

Fuck these people so much
