Attempting to ban trans women from using the women’s restroom isn’t about just making us use the men’s restroom—it’s about trying to make it so unsafe for us to use public restrooms that we disappear from public life.

💯 horrible hateful stunted people are wound up about 'other' people and need to mind their own damn business. People are just trying to LIVE OUT HERE let alone THRIVE.
Only because they couldn't feasibly force Black people out of public life. Let's not imply we're being treated worse than Black people under Jim Crow because that's not helpful to anyone.
oh, no, that's not my intent at all! marginalized struggles are not comparable (even though they may be resonant via diffractive reading). that was purely a moment of frustration over our current scenario, not a move to minimize black struggle (and not forgetting intersectional trans black people)
This is why “you want trans men to use the women’s restroom??” and posting pictures of big burly trans guys isn’t actually helpful. They don’t want trans men in the women’s restroom either—they just want to make it as unsafe and hostile as possible for us to be in public at all.
Of course they don’t expect us to stay at home forever—the end goal is to force us to detransition / back into the closet, and/or back into precarious labor like street sex work as a perpetually exploitable underclass.

AS IF there aren't black trans women who are one of the worst victims of transphobic crimes,
AS IF their plight as white/pale skinned cis women are in any way analogous to how black people are treated.
they're not predators either. we literally are there to pee.
