Community Rules:
No Hate Speech allowed whatsoever. This is a O tolerance policy. This goes for any form of hate and/or bigotry regarding race, religion, or LGBTQ+ identities.
While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.
Be better than how your enemies treat you.
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.
Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

I had a bad feeling about Tuscan and Phoenix, not sure about the rest of Arizona
Men burst into the ladies' room with flashlights to harass a woman.
These anti trans bathroom laws are just an excuse for perverts and rapists to get into the ladies' room!
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 always has been
This is just one reason why TERFs are morons
trans exclusionary radical bathroom fetishists?
edit sadly that doesn't describe it enough. how many more modifiers do you want. hate is hate.
Someone on Lemmy, I wish I remembered and could credit them, called them FARTs- Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes. I've been telling all my friends to do that, it feels right.
it's just basic human decency that i need to know the details of your junk in a Tucson mega mart
"We can always tell"
Oh, wow. I've always wondered about the crazy bathroom laws. I used to ask, "What're they gonna do? Raid the bathroom and start checking genitals?" Turns out, yeah, that's exactly what they're gonna do. I hope the malicious idiots that voted for this get a taste of their own medicine when they become collateral damage.
There wasn't even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a lesbian.
There wasn't even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a ~~lesbian~~ woman.
Her sexuality is irrelevant. There are plenty of "butch" straight women.
There's a clear hierarchy to their hate. Trans > gay > cishet.
Sure, but don't let them use their bigotry to control narrative.
There is no reason this person had to be an lesbian for this scenario. The bigots hear lesbian and think, no big deal, better safe than sorry, etc.
Sounds like a lucrative lawsuit to me
Nah, suing the cops is an uphill battle, even when you have a good case. And even if you win the cops will see 0 repercussions. Anything you win will be payed for by the tax payer while the cops get to stay on the force and brutalize more citizens.
Who could’ve ever possibly imagined that this would happen?
Oh anyone who can put two and two together…
Whoa, that's even crazier. Are police not beholden to law? If not, what exactly is law enforcement in the context of the executive branch of government?
Are police not beholden to law?
In the US? LOLOLOL
Sadly, in the US police officers aren't required to actually know the law - https://www.mintpressnews.com/court-rules-police-dont-need-know-laws-enforce/217236/
"What am I being arrested for?"
"Doing stuff we don't like without license."

Why rely on MintPress’ analysis of someone else’s take. Why not use their source?
They've always considered themselves above the law.
I am the law!
Ah yeah, just people learning about new/old genders the hard way. You just have to remember LGBTQ A+. There's a plus I assume now because there's a large number of yet to surface genders. There's a space between the A, I assume because A is for Asexual sort of de-gendered. Its a rainbow out there. Just accept it and move on. I don't even understand why the big deal. At home there's two bathrooms and anyone can go in them. I don't have to go check all my guests for dick or vagina. I assume that they gotta go at some point so I provide them the same two bathrooms my own family uses....unless they got Ebola. I assume other people would also draw the line at deadly airborne diseases. Possible at diarrhea, but hey, even then, you still gotta go somewhere!
The same type of people complaining about Gender-Neutral bathrooms are the same type of people that would complain about desegregated water fountains. Bigots.
So if we create a bathroom for bigots will that solve the problem?
