Let’s get something straight: your obsession with trans people using bathrooms is a distraction from the fact that most Americans can barely afford to put food on the table or pay rent. While you’re wasting time pandering to the most regressive parts of your base, the country is struggling.
 
I’ve spent decades fighting for academic freedom and challenging the status quo, including within the trans community. I’ve called out unreasonable behavior when I’ve seen it. But here’s the thing—peaceably using a bathroom, washing our hands, and leaving is not unreasonable. This whole debate could be solved with a simple, deliberate, and constructive solution.

But let’s be real, that’s not what you care about.

Don’t even try to pretend this is about safety. You know damn well that no well-known elected official is going to assault anyone in a bathroom. You don’t actually believe this garbage you’re spewing; you’re just pandering.

Here’s the reality: trans people are tax-paying Americans. We are protected by the 14th Amendment and have every right to exercise our First Amendment rights to live authentically. If the government can dictate how someone presents themselves or what they say about their own identity, then the First Amendment is meaningless.

Our bodies? Covered by the implicit rights granted by the 13th Amendment. No government has the right to control what we medically do with our own bodies. And your proposals to police bathrooms or enforce arbitrary gender norms? They violate the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee of privacy.

But fine, let’s play your game. If you really care about “safety,” then here’s a counter-proposal:



 Mandate that all federal bathrooms have individual stalls with real locking doors and walls that extend from floor to ceiling. Just like this: Single-Stall Bathroom Example.

This is a real solution. No need for government agents inspecting who goes where. No need for fear-mongering slogans like “men in women’s spaces.” Real predators—who are exceedingly rare in public bathrooms—would have no opportunity to exploit the design of private, enclosed stalls. It’s not rocket science; it’s basic architecture.

So, propose a real solution, or admit that your only goal is to be cruel. Admit that this isn’t about safety—it’s about pandering to fear and bigotry.

And as for Sarah McBride, Sarah: Are you really surprised by the way people like Mace, Greene, and Boebert treat you? Look at how they treat each other. Being a hateful, iron-clad “B-word” is their brand.

Here’s some advice, Sarah: Be one right back. Stand up, fight back, and make it clear you’re not here to play nice with people whose only aim is to dehumanize you. Hell, if you’re tough enough, they might even respect your pronouns long enough to call you one too.

Let’s stop wasting time on nonsense and get to work solving real problems. But if you’re not interested in real solutions, at least be honest about it. Stop hiding behind slogans and posturing, and admit that you just care about being cruel and divisive.

What this has to do with science.  A federal law on this issue could in theory apply to federal property or institutions which accept federal funds which is pretty much every organization in all of education or of any real size.  Every national laboratory, post office, big business etc etc.   Do not comply with this mess.  Make them enforce it.  

Conclusion


Being nice the way McBride has apparently chosen to be is not a solution.  It never is a solution.  Do not comply.   Make them have to show the world who they are and arrest normal every day transgender people who are working for or with their government without issue all across the nation.  

Take a lesson from the Black civil rights movement, and I can say this as an educated Black person.  Movements for minority rights are never popular at the time only in retrospect do they look good.  People who were the ones dumping drinks on those sitting in would deny they did it 10 years later.   The greatest victory only ever comes after the greatest resistance is met.  

The people are tired of this issue.  Either propose a real solution or move on to real economic issues or be ready for the natural reaction that Americans always give to oppressive acts. 

UPDATE: 

Nancy Mace has since done an interview which confirmed exactly what anyone wacthing her actions must've known if they could recognize her type of activity.  Its as old as the hills. 

Her problem is the idea that a "man in a dress" is equal to her. 


It is always ALWAYS about supremacy in some form for that kind of person.  Just you know never based on their actual achievements.  It is about the idea that by just existing and breathing they are better than some other group of people.
