The Canadian Senate has passed an amendment to a transgender rights bill that would ban trans people from using the bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity. Now, trans people in Canada (and their trans supporters in the United States) are sharing photos on Twitter and Facebook of themselves in public bathrooms they would be legally obligated to use under Senator Donald Plett’s bill. Check the hashtags #PlettPutMeHere and #WeJustNeedToPee for a dynamite collection of trans folks showing why these laws are absurd. Badass. (via BuzzFeed)
Why would you want to make law this stupid? How the hell do you even want to enforce it? Will you also ban fathers who go to ladies room with their little daughters?
Jfc this would also ban them from (women’s) shelters.
Just let them be for god’s sake.Because the United States Republican Party become a haven for bigots and far-right nutjobs sometime in the 90s or so.
slagar, this is canadian. additionally, it’s not law yet, and a lot of people don’t think it’ll actually become one. one of the dumbass canadian senators added exceptions to a previously existing bill. i blogged about it earlier, actually.
Damn, sounds like you have just as much of a idiot politician problem as us.
