    they’re not offended by her bathroom attendance. they’re offended by her existence. bowing down to their fascism won’t change that. she’s a representative; she represents trans people too. extremely disheartening that she just takes jim crow bullshit.

    imagine if rashida tlaib would go “I won’t object to Israeli government’s actions” because she was censured for doing so. she’s the first Palestinian American in congress, after all.

      they’re not offended by her bathroom attendance. they’re offended by her existence.

      Exactly. Now she’ll exist in their bathroom as a regular reminder. For whatever reason they’re uncomfortable, she’ll be reminding them in a regular basis, rather than that be something that just happens somewhere else.

      imagine if rashida tlaib ….

      Is a flawed analogy. You’re giving an example of giving up without repercussions. That’s very different. This could easily be a malicious compliance scenario.

        I don’t even know what you’re imagining here. what do you mean reminder? they’re talking about trans people 24/7 already. they’re not uncomfortable either. this is just performative.
