Breaking News: Another so-called "bathroom police" policy is looking to be created—this time in Bossier Parish, Louisiana.
These policies are driven by fear and prejudice, not evidence. They put transgender people at risk of humiliation, harassment, and real psychological harm, while creating situations that can escalate into physical confrontations.
Supporters claim they can identify who "belongs" in a restroom, yet experience from other states has shown the obvious: you cannot determine a person's sex or gender identity simply by looking at them. That means anyone who doesn't fit someone's stereotype could become a target.
Every person who is falsely confronted, detained, denied access, or publicly humiliated because of these policies should pursue every available legal remedy and seek compensation for the harm caused. These laws should be challenged in courts at every level.
Bathroom bans don't make anyone safer—they encourage profiling, discrimination, and vigilantism. Add Bossier Parishto the growing list of places choosing fear over facts and prejudice over human dignity.
What gets me is that all these laws seem to be established in southern states. I am wrong?
If I read about one more of these hideous anti-trans bathroom bills, I think my head will explode. What is the status of any litigation challenging them? The only info I can find is about Idaho.
Surely this has been done. Pick a building where this kind of bull **** has been passed. Gather 100 trans women and 100 transmen and have them use the bathroom of the sex they were assigned at birth. Fill the stalls and the urinals and form a line out the door. After you are done, get back in line. You know what those meds do to our bladders (heh heh). We just have to go ALL THE TIME.
They don't even know the difference between transgender and intersex. All they're going to do is arrange a token arrest of an over the top actor, and then use it to harass, intimidate, and do violence against innocent people. Once again, republicans prove they are masters of nothing but making things up regarding topics they know nothing about.
This has nothing to do with protecting anyone and everything to do with these people wanting someone they can harm and mistreat without consequence. I know Bossier and the people doing this. They sandbag their duties and then pull stunts to hurt people so it looks like they do their job.
It's a parochial, backward, hateful place. And that's why its economy is dying.
No one wants to take their business to a place so antagonistic to its people. It's unstable. It doesn't produce workers who can reliably perform their duties because the monstrous government will remove them from circulation over nothing. And these people kneecap themselves like this for their own entertainment.
It's like being ruled by the evil, violent cult from Children of the Corn. Nothing and nowhere is safe, and there is no hope of making a better life for yourself there.
Louisiana is one of the poorest states in the country and this is what they choose to focus on? Republicans are wild.
All this outrage over someone using a toilet. It's incredible. Right-wing "Christianity" is a joke, and laws deriving from it are unconstitutional.
Felony micturition! Are we the only country in the world that has nothing better to do than to criminalize taking a piddle?
Ponder for a moment that this sort of harassing legislation is happening in a place called "Bossier". Bossier than the other parishes I guess...
Hopefully not a bill that passes.
Thank you, Baum.
Will always be a fly-over state.
For fuck's sake, you'd stop more sex crimes by banning the 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 from bathrooms.
