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.

"Nothing bad can come from this," he said sarcastically.

Citizens. It's basically the transgender equivalent to Texas' abortion bounty bill.

From the article:

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 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.

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.

New York has MORE than it's fair share of problems, but I don't know how anyone lives in these states.

Of course not. Those men will be forced to choose between being assaulted as a creep or sued.

By design.

I'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.

That's their number 1 idiotic point.

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.

It was the same ignorant reaction when the Boy Scouts wanted to allow girls to join. They were convinced Scout leaders would be unable to control themselves around little girls. They were also convinced that all pedophiles are straight.

"The Scout leader is probably a pedophile, but there's no way he's a gay pedophile, so where do I sign my son up?"

The direct goal of these bathroom bills is to remove us from being able to exist in public spaces.

It's a step towards legalizing trans elimination (more than it already is)

These assholes never do. Their only perception of trans people is 'man in a dress' and the only reason they're so worked up over that is because they're afraid of being 'tricked'.

And a quick Google search, yep the Trans Panic defense is apparently legal there too.

Which is, of course, another kettle of bullshit.

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.

No they won't be. That's the point. They are trying to erase us from public life because trans people will just spend less time out in public.

"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.

Obviously. The court would unironically call it a frivolous lawsuit while letting dick bags fuck with trans-people's rights.

I don't think they do. I think they just ignore it because it will have the intended consequences of a man going into a woman's bathroom and all the douche canoes calling them a creepy pervert and start an altercation potentially leading to violence.

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.

That too. Seems those stories always pop up to the surprise of no one after these bills get passed. Where a "real" woman gets assaulted because dick hats think she's really a man and using the wrong bathroom.
