the funniest thing to me rn is seeing transphobic women going into bathrooms in transphobic states and then being shocked that trans men are in there and actually (gasp) look like men?!?! (shocking i know /s)

like you guys forced people to go to the bathrooms of their “biological sex” but now when they do it’s disconcerting that men look like men. (yes even if that man has a vagina.)

Transphobes are shocked to realize trans men aren’t all “uwu soft boiz” and HRT does what it’s supposed to. It’s so mind boggling to them that trans people don’t look like their bigoted characatures.

Anyways here are some men that will be forced to use the women’s restroom in states like florida, texas, kansas, etc.

#listen to me#go read about the bathroom problem#jack habsterdam wrote a chapter about it in their book female masculinity#basically#trans women aren’t allowdd in female bathrooms because of their proximity to maleness#trans men aren’t allowdd in female bathrooms also because of their proximity to mleness#butches and dykes are often pushd out of bathrooms because of their proximity to maleness(liking women and being masculine)#bathrooms aren’t “safe spaces for women”#they’re spaces for policing gender and holding women to a ‘safe’ high standard of femininity where women will attack anyone who doesn’t fit#that high standard

thank you pointing this out + bringing up that trans men are not safe in women’s bathrooms, either. a lot of times when people make the point that transphobic bathroom laws will force trans men in women’s bathrooms, they act like all trans men will just be 100% unaffected by this and their presence will only make transphobes ashamed instead of. I don’t know. A cis woman calling a bunch of cis men to beat the shit out of a Latino trans man (where the police reports then call him the aggressor). Transphobia makes public bathrooms unsafe for all kinds of trans people, especially if they aren’t white.
