    The intense interest some politician have for everyone else’s crotch is fascinating, if not a bit weird.

    Guarantee it won’t be sufficient if they think you look trans. Especially not if you’re a trans person with a sex chromosomal abnormality

    In response, can we declare that the homes of these idiots are public bathrooms now? Since we wouldn’t be able to go inside like our modern society dictates. Time to regress I guess.

    Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.

      If we take the UK, who is leading by example, those bathrooms are “In your fucking house. Get out of here ******.”

      Which I think is the answer in Idaho too. They just don’t have the balls to say it out loud. In typical American fascist fashion, they will go hide at home and make a judge explain that the law technically says that.

        I think in Idaho the answer is “Washington or Oregon, we’ve taken the liberty of getting rid of your house”

    You want people to pee outside the bathroom door, because this is how you get people to pee outside the bathroom door.

    This issue is right up there with healthcare as far as the level of stupidity (just not the level of death) because we collectively in the US won’t take a note from other countries that do it better. Plus, you know, respecting human dignity.

    Restrooms don’t need to be gendered in the first place if they give you some damn privacy.

    But as an american I know all too well that private bathrooms means potential small costs for landlords, and the ability for employees to hide and/or drug addicts to shoot up, so half the country would fight the change until their dying breath.

      It’s not like I’m checking what that guy in the next stall is doin’. Hell I think I’m in heaven when I go to a place that has doors that go to the floor.

        The gold standard in my experience is Sweden. They probably do the same thing in other countries, but that’s the place I have visited.

        Instead of having a single big open men’s room with 2-3 toilets and a couple sinks, next to a single big open ladies’ room with a similar layout, there is a short hallway with four doors on each side. Behind each door is a small restroom with its own toilet and sink. I think they each had a urinal too.

        It is superior in every single way except maybe for initial construction cost. It has a higher number of toilets which are all gender neutral, on top of actual privacy and there not being a “bad time” to go if it’s busy.

        It makes total sense if you give a shit about people and aren’t trying to penny pinch construction costs while making the facilities user-hostile so that peons don’t spend too much time in there.

    Yeah they really don’t understand anything related to biology.

    Good thing that DNA, genitals and gender are always 100% correlated right.

          Prolly can buy 50 sample cups for a buck or two - get the kids and some food color and you have all manner of variations with none of the risk. Feeling fancy? I hear tell they sell the fake stuff for… reasons. But on their end they need to play what’s in the box because… maybe this one is real and they don’t know.

      Hey, whoa, cut that out.

      I’m not defending the GOP in any way shape or form. I wish they’d all die in a fire, where hot pokers poke their eyes out as the flames consume their flesh. It STILL wouldn’t be as painful as all the suffering they’ve caused globally for decades.

      All that being said, don’t kink shame as a form of insults. I’M not personally into pee. I tried peeing on an ex once at her request. We both agreed we’re not into it. But SOMEONE is actually into it. And it would be unfair to label them as GOP, because you’ve assigned that as their designated fetish of choice.

      I think a better punishment would be everyone leave Idaho. Why the fuck would you want to live in Idaho??? Why would you want to pay taxes to Idaho??? Why would you want to assosiate with anyone there???

      They should find their population dropping, and anyone who stays deserves to be treated like shit. It’s not THAT far of a drive to Washington, and Oregon. Maybe even California.

        Oh don’t worry I wouldn’t kink shame. Fly your freak flag and all that. I was just dispairing at the notion of what would be an outstanding way to protest… ending up being something they’d be into. It seems the more out there and depraved something is… its just all the more likely a politician is to be doing it.

        'Scept they’re already clearcutting most of WA/OR to be able to cram in endless 5-over-1s to house all the new people, and even then there’s an unbelievable housing crisis. That’s on top of the incredible lack of employment and the crushingly overburdened public services… Plus anywhere decent in those states is going to be the highest cost of living in the country, if not (depending on the metric) the world.

        Moving isn’t cheap and easy, and the popularity of the queer migration to the coast is a huge problem right now. Personally I volunteer with several charities that do housing assistance/placement for queer & disabled folks and waiting lists over the past year and a half have ballooned to more than a thousand times more applicants than we have resources to support. There’s just so, so many more people who want to come here than there is the ability to support.

    Once again my home state making all the worst headlines 🫠

    They recently banned birth cert gender marker changes and I still can’t figure out if that means my current cert is invalid. Now I can’t even pee in my home town without going to prison. I love my hometown it’s like Hobbiton, it’s pretty, people are mostly very kind, it’s a place to go to live a calm life. But it is in Idaho, and is entering into the last stages of a christofascist takeover decades in the making.

    I’ll probably never get to see where I grew up again, sit at the giant fountain, dig in the clay heavy dirt that’s blacker than the roads, or see the breathtaking pink and gold sunsets over the endless hills. I hope the people who took this from me live full of misery followed by an early grave.
