Hopefully, this will be the last time she’s singled out by her colleagues for being who she is. At least there’s hope to be found in the outcome of this.
We need fewer MAGAts in government. The GOP is dead. It is now predominantly the orange moronic felon cult. Trump & his cronies are treasonous traitors and want to make America into another Russia.
It was the folks in the GOP who helped to bring Trump & Company into political power in the first place. What is actually needed is a well orchestrated coup against Trump & Company.
Let’s be real. I doubt most Republicans like Trump and his fascist antics. But they like being elected more —so when it’s safe, they stand up for what is right….but I’m seeing Biden in the same light
I just don’t get what this fascination with bathrooms especially women’s rooms. It’s not like we’re going in there for a party. I’ve only been startled once. a dad was in the bathroom with his daughter. He looked at me and said there’s no stalls in the men’s bathroom. No problem
I want to know who the Republicans were that opposed. Maybe at least a few Republicans remain with some shred of integrity. I don't often agree with Republicans, but I can stand behind integrity and human decency.
If it happens, I’ll be gobsmacked off the edge of the flat earther planet. They have spent decades (trickle down economics being the big introduction) building up to showing us exactly who they are. Vile, self serving assholes. I’ve scraped better things off the bottom of my boots.
I’m still holding onto hope that over the next four years all the republicans that spoke out publicly stand behind their words and stand up to the felon and the hatred he has unleashed.
We need them to stand up for freedom and rights. It’s mind blowing the gop acts like they are the party of those causes when their whole platform is full of policies that strip freedoms and rights from people.
Absolutely. Silence only enables hate to grow. The GOP, and every other party, needs leaders willing to take a stand for equality and decency. It’s not about politics; it’s about basic humanity. Let’s see more courage and less complacency.
More people need to see this video of Trump being racist in 1993. Not because he says anything new, but because the public official directly refutes him. Lots of people in his orbit need to grow a spine like this guy https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1FqBycfNE2/?mibextid=UalRPS
This is fantastic. I have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, but NEVER by a trans person.
Just to say, I think the odds are PRETTY DANG LOW that a man would decide to live his life as a woman on the off chance he might some day catch a glimpse of a woman using the restroom. 🙄
And now I heard women who are married are the man's property!
If he claims them as dependants on his income tax as he does his children, apparently, they are his property!
I can't believe how devolved man is becoming!
It would be nice if we could build bathrooms without gender at all. Close the door do your business and no one needs be worried about what's not really their bother.
They probably never expected this to pass. They wanted to bully her, they wanted to get her name in the press so that the internet could bully her, and they probably wouldn't shed a tear if their hateful rhetoric led to violence against her.
For centuries, transgender use of public bathrooms was NOT a problem ... until Republicans insisted it should be.
Being LGBTQ is not a lifestyle, character flaw, moral failing, sin, or choice. There is nothing wrong with being LGBTQ. GOP hateful rhetoric and policies are not helpful.
Theory time. This comes from their fears of picking up someone trans during their searching for hookups in public restrooms.
I think somewhere in the past, they picked up a "lady" only to find out she was packing more heat than he was😉😂
As much as I wanted this app to not be for political posts, it was too good not to share..
And in my own defense, morality and fighting bigotry should never be consistent political
No “except.” How they view it doesn’t matter, as long as the qualifications in my statement are met. They have the right to their beliefs as long as they treat others with dignity, respect, and equality. And their whole *thing* should be Jesus Christ, not sin.
That’s what I’m saying. They *don’t* treat people with dignity or respect because they’re hyper focused on “saving” them. They often won’t take “no” for an answer.
And sure, that *should* be their thing, but I’ve only ever met one or two of them that *actually* follow Christ’s example. It’s rare af
Exactly. I'm 60yrs old, and I know I've shared bathrooms and locker rooms with trans women and other LGBTQ2+ individuals without any problems or issues.
Here's the problem: a handful of republicans voted to sink that measure. But the overwhelming majority didn't. Are we honestly going to celebrate every time there are 2-4 defections while the majority still sets the standards?
I had the same thought because Zooey herself had said that her GOP colleagues have confused they don't want to do this stuff, but the rhetoric compels them.
IMHO, that's just an admission that they are enablers of harm and thus I won't let them off the hook. They have to change the rhetoric.
IMO it's not that tgey stood up against hate and discrimination, it's that they stood up for true principles of Republicanism. Reps are the party of limited government and personal freedom (on paper) so laws targeting groups should get voted down by them
Frankly, I think the best way to fight this is to find all the Transmen we can, preferably with big, bushy beards, then go to the capitol and have them follow Nancy Mace into the women's restroom. She wants this - maliciously comply until SHE is uncomfortable with it.
Hey George,
When are you going to start reposting instead of taking a screenshot and posting that?
It’s easier to visit/follow the people you quote. Just FYI.
I was traveling and had a layover in Germany l went into a men’s restroom when I ran out in a panic! Was l in the wrong room? My friend said no! Go back in she works here she passes out towels after you wash your hands! See that dish give her a tip!
Nah, the need is for the GOP and the democrats to be scattered to the wind. They have no vested interest in making any significant change and no interest in doing so.
Don’t place any hope on reform, it’s not going to happen.
I’ve posted, as absurd as it sounds, the potential to keep in check,any & all policies &proposals intended to dismantle or injure our democratic structure by the incoming President’s administration through shared commitment of Dem’s&GOP (non MAGA kool-aide drinkers) members working collaboratively.
I feel like Montana and Alaska Republicans are similar in that they are more the "Don't f*ck with me and I won't f*ck with you" conservatives instead of the White Christian Nationalist Republicans that seem to be most of the rest of the US conservatives.
As it should be. They need to stop worrying about who's using the bathroom, and start worrying about making the bathrooms more private. We really don't need those giant gaps.
If the decent ones ever hope to take back their party, they need to stand up and fight. Enough of this cowering and trembling in fear every time their clown leader says boo.
Absolutely. This is not Democrat vs Republican, it is decency vs indecency, compassion vs callousness, community vs isolationism, empathy vs discrimination autocracy vs democracy, responsibility vs apathy. We NEED to encourage people to differentiate between Republican and MAGA…
My Father, whos Opinions i rather respect, Quotes Bill Clinton in saying "Progressives are there to remove barriers that either should never have been there or are no longer needed, Conservatives are to be the line between right and wrong that does not move"
'member when tRump said if he lost the election, we would never hear of him again?. . . I miss those days. It also was another platant lie, because that is how he & Republicans operate. They lie & twist the truth to please their views. There is a reason behind the why they love the poorly educated.🤷🏻♂️
The fact still remains that none of this is possible in the slightest without republican representatives ALL being completely complicit to the removal of our constitution and it's promise to our civil Rights as was originally enshrined and protected at heart of our nations conception. It maters.
Would sure be nice, but I’m not holding my breath. Republicans had their chance to be decent and 94% of them voted for trump. “Moderate” Republicans are about as common as dodos and Caspian tigers
100% but I'm afraid the route that will be set out to achieve that is just more capitulation to right wing framing which inevitably will only have the opposite effect
Obviously whoever put this motion foreword has no clue how women’s bathrooms work. (Each person uses their own private cubicle.)
🤦♀️. Unless they plan on strip searching everyone who enters the bathroom🙄.
Remember when we could just assume they would. Trump has given life to every despicable + unfathomable concepts of heinous plans and his f%#king party supports him.

Now there’s only the immoral misfits.
Reach out to those Montana Republicans and thank them for their vote.
There’s no such courage in that party
We're not getting got.
“We need more KKK members to stand up against racism”
Why would GOP members stand up against the thing that their party literally stands for.
Just to say, I think the odds are PRETTY DANG LOW that a man would decide to live his life as a woman on the off chance he might some day catch a glimpse of a woman using the restroom. 🙄

I heartly approve of this characterisation 🤣
And in my own defense, morality and fighting bigotry should never be consistent political
Source: went to Christian school. They keep wanting to “save” people. Aka convince people not to “sin”
And sure, that *should* be their thing, but I’ve only ever met one or two of them that *actually* follow Christ’s example. It’s rare af
Couldn't even choose to do the right thing for the right reason, bunch of cretins.
IMHO, that's just an admission that they are enablers of harm and thus I won't let them off the hook. They have to change the rhetoric.
Having said that people who reported the Jews in Germany said the same.
The message they are sending is that they are willing to kill trans people to keep their jobs.
We can’t count on it.
As Voltaire said:
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
Through their logic, it would be normal for trans-men to use the women's bathroom.
So cis men preditors don't even have to pretend to be trans to get access because there are already men walking into the women's bathroom.

Montana male Republicans refused to share their male facilities with this person, so they’re making the women share theirs.
And they look good to the media doing so.
Its Fascism 4.0.
Don’t place any hope on reform, it’s not going to happen.
MAGA Fails to uphold this order
🤦♀️. Unless they plan on strip searching everyone who enters the bathroom🙄.
