Until we figure out humanoid robots all people are biological and trans women are women, so....

Republicans will use anything to generate outrage and distract from the constant war they wage on the working class

The biggest winners of this US elections are the corporations

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

we'll see. Media companies, gas companies and private prisons for sure win here, other corporations may suffer if they enact most of these policies:

Invading cities with the US military will destroy real estate markets. My guess is this is a bluff.

Rounding up immigrants (lets not pretend they'll be checking documents) will destroy agricultural corps and one of the US' largest exports

Tariffs will drastically damage consumer spending and costs for electronics (which will indirectly hike data center costs).

Tax cuts will radically increase inflation again.

I know it's not a very hip position right now but I think the incoming administration will turn out to be mostly hype. They'll get bogged down trying to get the blue states to comply with some insane piece of legislation on something with no federal jurisdiction, and blame their failure to do anything on that.

Oh irrational fear and tribalistic othering, is there no asinine bullshit you won't stoop to, repeatedly?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago

Just unisex the thing. They get a lesson in tolerance and everyone gets equal treatment.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 61 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

These people are obsessed with people's genitals. Just go to the fucking bathroom. Must you go out of your way to make even taking a shit in public more uncomfortable than it needs to be?

Shut the fuck up and do your fucking job.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Insist on big dick and small dick bathrooms for guys. Really lean into it.

I'm still trying to figure out what these people [Republicans] are doing in the bathroom. I probably don't want to know. All can say is, when I'm trying to pee in a public restroom, I don't really give a shit who's in the stall next to me. I don't care what their gender is. I don't care what their birth gender was. I'm just trying to do my business and get on with my day.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 11 hours ago

But if they don't wish me good luck, I don't want to be taking a crap next to them. Sometimes you need that emotional support on the crapper, you know?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

Many public restrooms in Iceland are unisex. These apes wouldn't last one road trip.

I'd love for a bearded trans man to walk in there, look her dead in the eye and tell her not to worry, he has a vagina.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 92 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 47 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

This is messed up. Do they not want trans people to use any bathrooms?

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 101 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They'd really just prefer it if we didn't exist

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 15 hours ago

Hot take I know, but that’s a bit fucked

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 15 hours ago

Correct, the goal is to eliminate trans people from public life.

If there are stalls with doors in the bathroom, then mind your own damn business if someone is in there. If there aren't, then it's an issue with the facility that should be fixed so anyone using them has privacy. Why are Republicans so concerned about what people do on the toilet or in the bedroom?

"Women may get attacked by trans people" says the party who by far has the larger list of offenders. Clean your own house.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

You know what, aren't American stalls notorious for giant gaps in them? Maybe if they fixed that and had better stalls things like this may smooth over better. Unless that stereotype of American bathrooms is outdated or not actually the norm

I say we push them harder, hard enough that they mandate single person unisex bathrooms, with the fancy auto room washing function they have in Japan. Then I can finally crap in peace.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Biological cripples?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 51 points 16 hours ago

The never ending tradition of conservatives always looking for someone to hate.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 31 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

ever notice trans men don't have this problem?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 66 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

We absolutely do, even if you don’t hear about it as often.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 21 points 16 hours ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for opening up

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 19 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Of course, Men are expected to deal with their own issues so being this fragile isn't going to be plastered all over the media.

I will continue to ask these morons if they’ve ever heard of homosexuality. There have been people attracted to other people they see in the bathroom since people started peeing together. Gender does not define sexuality, and neither gender nor sexuality define pedophilia.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

To them homosexuality is a disease too. This one is just easier for them to justify at the moment. Once this battle is won they'll absolutely move onto non hetero sexualities.

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

The only reason trans rights are a big topic now is because they started losing the war against homosexuality and so they found themselves an easier target instead.

I mean if she wants us to break her legs, who are we really to deny her?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

If you're not running a positronic neural network then you're a biological woman

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Are you saying Data isn't a man? Because he's-

[–] JeanLucPicard8817@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Which just makes this whole thing even more nonsensical and confusing since androids don't have the need to expel waste the way humans do, and thus would not need to use a restroom.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Technically, that would depend on what would power the android. An android that gets energy from processing human food would work pretty well and there is sci-fi precedent for it- androids in the Aliens films eat food.

That said, I would hope they would have a more efficient way to get rid of that food waste than humans, so maybe they wouldn't need bathrooms.
