It is truly astonishing to me that people give even a listless fuck about anyone else's sexual self-identification or who might on occasion be using another locked stall in a public toilet. Or that anyone is so vexed by this shit as to cast a vote against their elemental interests. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I've been to so many places with shared/unisex bathrooms in the world! Wild that this is still an issue.

Incredible, really.

"To me, someone's sexuality is usually the least interesting thing about them. It's secondary. The only reason it becomes a source for dramatic storytelling is because people have made such an issue out of it." -- Cillian Murphy. (Source: IMDB)

It is such a goddamn mindless vexation. Particularly in face of the lust for cruelty and sycophancy that the right is so excited to provide for their con man king. Making life easier for some people or disrupting the lives of millions? Not a tough choice for a thinking person.

It’s always projection or confession with these joyless twats. That fucking termagant Nancy Mace just can’t help pump those sweet sweet liberal tears into the Maga monster of hate.

David, it’s truly astounding that a woman, who has stalls and privacy would give one fuck, let alone two fucks about where anybody pees. How obsessed these people are over genitalia. Sick.

And this is why engaging these soulless shitheels on principle, or just on the goddamn facts of the issue at hand, is not only a waste of time but a tactical error. Playing defense does not work. Offense only. 'Fuck these fucking fucks.'

They jerk off over a flag or a Bible, feel better afterwards, and call it virtue.

They know they're supposed to care about something that matters, and they know that they don't. Actual righteousness is beyond their understanding and out of their reach, and they're dimly aware of this, so they collapse heavily on the most undeserving victims in sight.

Well said.

When you have no actual values, when your craven self-interest has made integrity a baffling and elusive concept, you jump at the chance to mount some imaginary high horse so you can thump your chest and pretend that God loves you more.

They're not vexed. They don't really care. They don't care about protecting women, or children, or "life," or even what immigrants are actually doing. It's all performative bullshit.

Either they're closeted, perverted, or have a kink they are ashamed of?

So is Mace going to insist that trans men use the same bathroom she does?

robuthe.bsky.social•100 days ago

It is truly astonishing that people consider grown adults using their genitals however they want to is a horrific thing that must be eliminated.

Most of these same people yammer on about "freedoms" as well as they try to rid to world of The Woke Boogeyman

Jeannette Rankin, first woman in Congress in 1917. The women in Congress didn't get their bathroom until 2011. This is where Nancy Mace wants to her mark. Progress indeed. #vapid

As a disabled, brown immigrant, in my teens I learned that only the insecure punch down. And when I learned this, it was like Neo seeing the code in the Matrix for the first time.

Bullies never think they're bullies. They just punch in the wrong direction.

It is quite vexing indeed.

It has never made any sense to have a consuming interest in another person's sex life at all. I'm really and honestly only interested in the sex in which I actually participate.😍

audacityofdespair.bsky.social•100 days ago

And some of that, not as much as I might have initially hoped.

johnrobertanderson.bsky.social•100 days ago

It's just astonishing. But then I grew-up in the South. I watched people vote against their economic self-interests in election after election after election. Not because of sexual identification, but because of race. Even they knew that FDR had saved their asses--and the Nation--so he got a pass.
