This isn’t just ignorant, it’s also a complete waste of taxpayer dollars and good will. Do something that matters, Johnson.
Do you REALLY want him to do something he thinks matters?
Uh, good point.
What a prat. As a member of Gen X, I’m deeply ashamed. We were supposed to be the first generation not to care about people’s gender and sexuality.
I think it should be said. I went to a reading of the names this year, as I have in some form every year since 2015; and I’ve never seen so many children’s names read. For context, the names are of the people murdered in transphobic hate crimes in the past year. It used to be a notable tragedy when a 15 year old was driven to suicide and this year we had multiple 14 year olds dead by others’ hands.
Speaker Johnson doesn’t care though. I’m sure he’d say his behavior today was in those children’s best interests, but no the transphobia he is promoting is killing children both by emboldening bigots and by driving them to hopelessness.
I hope someday he has to stand before his victims and a deity and explain himself. I hope he begins acting in a way so as to make it a less unpleasant experience when he gets to that point.
So unisex bathrooms aren’t a thing, aka, normal bathrooms?
Also the dismantling of government agencies begins! First step, OSHA!

I was in Europe and they had full unisex bathrooms. There were only stalls and the dividers were floor to near 8 feet. And no gaps you could see through on the doors. It was no big deal, everyone just did their thing and left.
The only place I’ve experienced this in the US is Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Some of their restrooms are exactly like you describe. Full height stalls (small rooms basically) with a shared sink area. Literally no one I saw has had an issue with it. You just go, wait in line with everyone else, and take a stall when your turn comes. No issue and no confusion. There is no reason this can’t be the norm in the US.
So pathetic and petty. What did this person ever do to them? The mental gymnastics needed to justify using the freaking House of the United States to punish a single person who they likely have never met, for an immutable personal trait? It gives me a headache to even try to understand it.
Simple, it’s just an excuse to be hateful. It’s not complicated.

One of the big downsides to pretending 100% of Holocaust victims were Jewish is that the 50% who weren’t were sent to the camps for other reasons.
Like being Trans, or any other kids and of LGBT. The problem was even “the good guys” were anti-lgbt back then, just look at how they treated their war heroes:

And then America, who had taken in all types of Nazis scientists, denied Turing entry just to fucking take a vacation.
I think this is why so many people are shocked by trump winning, people actually believed Americans were inherently good, and they believed it.
Looks like his desk is a great place to use the bathroom instead!
The irony is Mr. Garrison is trans in later seasons…
The cruelty is the point.
Perhaps I read too many stories where humans are past this kind of bigotry. I hope so much for such a time—some day. But living amidst the constant hate and bigotry… it hurts so much. It’s so very tiring.
Sorry, but us hairless chimps will forever be scared of the other hairless chimps on the other side of the hill.
Some perhaps. Not all. And not all to the same degree. It’s something we can work to move beyond. That ability is also human nature.
At some point, you’re fighting evolution and lizard brains. Some people can overcome their prejudices, but expecting the world’s human population to be able to overcome that fight or flight response to strangers is probably not something achievable.
Petty pathetic and normal for the GOP. Too bad they did not pass a Nazi bathroom ban but I guess to close to home.
Why do Republicans want people with PENISES to use your DAUGHTERS Bathroom?
Cocksuckers.
