Everything old is new again, eh?  They aren't finished with the kids yet.  They won't stop until they put all trans youth back in the closet and lock the door.

If you don't discriminate you have to post this

Yup, and the DSM is next where we will be again categorized as mentally ill.

 

Then after that, corporate america can legally say no to trans employment, drop all the trans related healthcare coverages, and get that extra profit for the shareholders not on robinhood.

Oh Der Lord! All this bill is is blatant discrimination. What has happened to a supposedly "free and open" society?

Tennessee passes bill requiring anti-trans signs on businesses with trans-inclusive restrooms

"The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Tim Rudd (R), said that it isn’t aimed at transgender people since it doesn’t ban them from using the restroom altogether."  

 

 I mean, such BS.

I almost have to laugh a bit.  One of @Carolyn Marie's associates and teaching partners was responsible here in CA. for making it a law that all single user restrooms were to be designated Gender Neutral, this is addition to rest rooms for the physically disabled who needed opposite gender assistants.  In So. Calif. and many other places even multiple user facilities can be declared All Gender at the whim of the party giver.  It is so funny to see "Males" figuring out which rest room is usually designated women (sometimes by pulling the tape up on the All Gender sign to see what is under it.) and deliberately crossing the sewer pipe as I call it for them.  (I can be a brat). I have stood in a line at what I knew was the men's room and it made a couple of guys stare at me, but I usually tell them to take a look at the line to the women's room and it is 50/50 they will either ignore me totally from that point, or we will just have some small talk or joking.  Luckily I have never been threatened.

What more can be said?

They don’t even want to be open about what they’re doing.

If they're so proud of what they're doing, why would they think they need to hide it?  They should be "out and proud" transphobes and haters as we are out and proud trans folk.  Thank goodness for a free, objective and aggressive press.  I know many of you don't trust the press, with good reason, but where would we be w/o them?

"Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) has signed one of the cruelest anti-trans laws in the nation, which will require businesses and public buildings to warn cisgender customers that they serve transgender people like any other customer."

Well, he signed it.  No real surprise.

A lot of the replies to this on Twitter were frightening.  

[KayC]

These laws don't even make sense.  Who are they trying to "protect" with these laws??  People who need to be protected from their own hateful biases?

[Ivy]

It didn't seem to be much of a problem till they made it political.
