Watch: Viral clip shows a woman in genderless clothing being ejected from a ladiesâ bathroom by the police.
I saw this tagged as transphobia and while the laws and atmosphere that surrounds this is very much grounded in transphobia, I think itâs worth mentioning that thatâs a cis woman.
So you know.
Fucking thanks, TERFs. Arenât you glad bathroom laws trying to prevent âmenâ from entering the ladies room has caused two male police officers to eject cis women from the bathroom already? Since thatâs the only women you care about maybe you might actually spend longer than .5 seconds thinking about possible fucking reprocussions of this shit now.
Oh my goooooddddd this shit is ridiculous. Like, this law has always been complete and utter transphobic bullshit, but hereâs the god damn proof it will never work the way these idiots want it to. You cannot determine someoneâs gender by the clothes they wear. Fuck, I get misgendered and called a man all the time. Do I need to bring my I.D. next time I take a shit? I am so tired of this garbage. Let people use the damn bathroom they want to.
But this is exactly the outcome of laws like this: policing and punishing people who deviate from the gender norm. The direct target is of course trans people (with the brunt of the focus on trans women), but anyone who doesnât fit with the norms will also be impacted by the law because now thereâs a witch hunt against anyone who doesnât seamlessly blend in.
Isnât it terribly ironic that this law was intended to prevent men from entering a womanâs bathroom and harassing women (which wasnât actually happening) and it has directly resulted in male police officers entering the womenâs bathroom and harassing a woman?
If youâre horrified at cis women being treated like this, you sure as shit better be horrified at trans women being treated like that too.
There have been at least 3 other incidents of cis men entering womenâs bathrooms under the guise of âprotectingâ them from trans women. These bills literally gave cis men a better excuse for invading the womenâs restroom.Â
