I don’t know if she went into rationale, but this may be part of it. It’s only certain congressmen who are offended and they will be re-offended every time she joins them in the restroom. I’d expect this is a great way to get them to change their mind by making them uncomfortable that they got what they wanted.
Also perhaps she wants to do the job she was elected for rather than bicker over which bathroom she personally should use
they’re not offended by her bathroom attendance. they’re offended by her existence. bowing down to their fascism won’t change that. she’s a representative; she represents trans people too. extremely disheartening that she just takes jim crow bullshit.
imagine if rashida tlaib would go “I won’t object to Israeli government’s actions” because she was censured for doing so. she’s the first Palestinian American in congress, after all.
they’re not offended by her bathroom attendance. they’re offended by her existence.
Exactly. Now she’ll exist in their bathroom as a regular reminder. For whatever reason they’re uncomfortable, she’ll be reminding them in a regular basis, rather than that be something that just happens somewhere else.
imagine if rashida tlaib ….
Is a flawed analogy. You’re giving an example of giving up without repercussions. That’s very different. This could easily be a malicious compliance scenario.
I don’t even know what you’re imagining here. what do you mean reminder? they’re talking about trans people 24/7 already. they’re not uncomfortable either. this is just performative.
Maybe it is just performative and accepting it means not playing into their performance.
Or maybe it actually makes them uncomfortable. Imagine some old guy who can’t deal with people outside their experience suddenly having the person they’re uncomfortable with in the bathroom with them, saying “is this what you wanted”? Imagine someone actually offended a woman might use the woman’s restroom, realizing that means a woman has to use the men’s room with them.
Apparently I’m assuming something different than you are, assuming there’s some root to their performance. Every sexist, racist, genderist, xenophobic performance starts with someone who is sexist, racist, genderist, xenophobic etc. These people are not just empty vessels cynically performing for the gullible masses, they are actual bad people cynically performing
Is it possible that males with penises should use the urinal instead?
Pretty sure McBride is post-op making the fact that SHE is a WOMAN being forced to use the men’s room even more asinine.
Not that pre-op transwomen or non-op transwomen aren’t valid. Rock the girl cock if you want to lady, it’s your body!
Weird Al’s take on Rock The Casbah was WAY ahead of its time and also a lot more blue than his usual fare…
Sorry, you’re absolutely right about everything, but I had to 😁
