I had a discussion on trans people with my family in law today and it got really nasty. As in, I walked out of the room out of madness nasty. Screaming nasty. I’m not proud of it but I snapped when I heard the ‘rapist toilet’ argument come up again.
Good on you for arguing though
Yeah. Just a shame I let myself get angry. But if they conceil their arguments behind a thin veil of ‘concern’ while the arguments contain the words ‘mental disorder’ and ‘rape’ and ‘but our current heteronormative society mag not be ready’ even I seem to have my limits.
I hope it does not affect the relationship with your girlfriend
I was going to say “should we ban poc from going to the bathroom because racists are scared of them” then I remembered they’ll probably say yes
You see, we need to have a discussion about that. And when the white people feel comfortable enough, maybe we will allow them.
Major support if you grabbed the person making that “argument” and throw them in a toilet.
