Outside of trans panic, it is generally my experience that the procedure for entering a bathroom that does not align with the custodian's gender involves, knocking, verbal notification, waiting (if needed), marking or blocking entrances (to indicate presence), and not just walking in and peeing.

As for the bathroom bans, themselves, it is all the same rhetoric that was used to explain why homosexuals should be jailed and "corrected" (tortured by psychiatric facilities) back in the day.

Somehow, it is always the smell of urine that commands my attention and most of it isn't even being aimed at named on the walk!

Now? Pick apart American history and you find that the roots of fulfilling the wishes if the wealthy and powerful on the backs of the exploited sink all the way down past the Declaration of Independence.

America was built on this type of behavior and if the people want it to change, they need to put a powerful and long-term effort into creating a radically different future.

Never stop fighting.

It has always been in the rules that they don't stack and we have always not cared. As long as everyone playing consents, the rules are whatever we want.

Of course! The devil did this!

And by the devil, I mean whatever thing I am demonizing today.

On the one hand, ERs love attributing everything a patient has going on to weed, even when it is clearly not. On the other, some local supplier could be selling tainted stock, in which case it isn't the weed, anymore than that diarrhea is from the lettuce.

They'll block that border later, when they are worrying about people escaping to Canada.

Let me give it a shot and see if I can do better:

I'm American, but mine always directed people to contact my backup or my boss. If they can't handle it or defer it, then I suppose they might call me, but I know that they will try not to, so I can do the same for their vacation.

Wait, are you suggesting that the party that has publicly said that "it may be time to end this experiment with women's suffrage" wants to control womenโ€ฝ /j

I really wish more of the voting public was actually filtering through the trash to find the truth, because a party like that shouldn't even have a shot.

Actual kids shouldn't have to pay rent, but should have human rights, so I have never really considered this thought compelling.

A more relevant question might be "under what other law are you required to use and risk your own body to preserve the life of another?" You cannot be compelled to give blood, or donate a kidney or half your liver, etc., because you have a right to decide whether you want to risk your own body to keep someone else alive.

That is the better plan, I agree, especially if you DO get arrested, but, in theory, Faraday cages are effective against tracking. In practice, online purchases are often trash.

That's likely fine, provided it is undamaged and tests as well made, first.

If someone sees footage of the protest sign before a vandalism, then sees you with that protest sign, there is a good chance of a conviction, there.

This one understands. Becoming the haters won't fix the world and only promotes further suffering and division.

Meanwhile, there are those who would benefit greatly from dividing the two most progressive politically active groups and they are our true enemies.

This, right here!

Who wants to divide the two most progressive groups that are likely to be politically active and get one acting conservative and fighting or disregarding the other?

It really doesn't take a big leap.

Exactly! The kids aren't our enemies and acting like conservatives at them won't make the world a better place. It will, however, help divide us so we are easier to oppress.

Kind of like this, but no phone and likely no protest sign:

As a trans woman without a bio degree, it is super fascinating! Whether it is genetic, epigenetic, structural/developmental, or some combination, I really want to know more! Here's hoping that those motivated by learning continue to research it, si we can learn more from them!

I really need to get the nerve up for some, though.

I think we may have some similarities, there.

I will say that it isn't always external categorization that gets people in trouble. Sometimes people box in their own behavior based on a label they have given themselves. This usually seems to be strongest when a label becomes an identity.

It takes a lot of forms: "I'm stupid, I can't learn that." "I'm a punker, I wouldn't be into that." "I'm straight, so this can't be attraction."

There are so many more, but in the end, free seems better.

I agree, fully. Categorization is what kept us alive, early on, and it has helped in advancing various technologies. Where we seem to get in trouble seems to be by deciding the category is absolute and sharp, when reality is not so tidy. It is a part of that useful instinct, so moderating it will be a permanent and ongoing process.
