Among many other cool things (like street pricing!) Portland International Airport has "all user" bathrooms. They are large, pretty, and have completely private stalls. Problem solved!

just got back from denmark, where men and women lined up in one big room to use private stalls (some had men going out and women going in afterward--i guess it's more important to pee than go "EEK!!!" all the time) in the castle welcome area

Nobody. Fucking. CARES!*

*Except rabid con-serv-o-turds disgustingly focused on other people's genital areas who keep desperately trying to force fake BaThRoOm SaFeTy as an issue. Mind your own, freaks.

I just remembered something.

I had a friend in high school who worked at our public library as a summer job.

One day he was using the bathroom and realized some pervy dude had stealthily entered the bathroom and was staring at him through the gap in the stall door while he took a shit.

He yelled at him to quit it, guy left, end of story.

My friend was unnerved by it but AFAIK got over it, thankfully.

This perv was a cis man, not trans, just a biological male with a serious problem.

Tell me, Idaho Asshats, how your Amazing Protective Bill would have protected my friend, who actually could have used some?

"just a biological male with a serious problem", as is so often the case these days.

Aren't there thousands of rape kits waiting to be processed in every state

I saw this video on YouTube this morning about an older man calling the police on a younger man who was taking his two young daughters to the women's restroom in a QT somewhere. The cops basically told the older man that he was an idiot and to leave the store, but he had been so upset with the young father and making such a scene that the girls began to cry and were obviously traumatized.

"Idaho Solicitor General" is a position that didn't even exist until two years ago, and we've already been through three of them. It was created because the far-right thought the AG's office was insufficiently loyal to the party, so they made up a job for right-wing asshat Theo Wold. The idea was to have someone in the AG's office whose sole job was to push right-wing culture war cases that Deputy AGs, who are mostly highly professional, won't touch.

Sadly, Theo lasted just shy of 10 months on the job, about half of which was spent waiting to be admitted to the Idaho Bar. Then, some FedSoc dude from Utah took over. He lasted just under a year, but since Utah and Idaho have a bar admission reciprocity agreement, he was at least licensed to practice law in Idaho when he took the job. The current twerp was hired (the AG likes to say "appointed," as if SG is some kind of constitutional or statutory office -- it isn't) in February, and once again, they hired a FedSoc shithead who wasn't admitted to the Idaho Bar. He's only 5 years out of law school, and it shows.

how come i was never one of those people who got a big-time government position without even being admitted to the bar, FFS???

I used to want my DNA tested, but not that bad.

I have used the bathroom with transgendered women.

The most that happened was being asked what color my lipstick was, because she liked it.

I wear my hair very short, and anyone trying to make me prove that I'm a biological female will get my biological fist upside their head.

And why are Republicans so hyperfocused on people's genitals????

Gammarae's avatar

look, if we couldn't keep people preoccupied with this, they might actually start thinking about the epstein files again.

Bel-Ami's avatar

Same. No different than any other gal in there except (sometimes) taller.

If they want a DNA sample, they can fish it out of the toilet.

Laws written by old white guys who think women go to the bathroom, strip naked, and dance on the poles which, obviously, every women’s room has installed.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Those must have been installed after my tenure as a janitor.

Fucking Idaho....sigh.....

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Right? Such a beautiful place, too.

Stulexington's avatar

That won't even work most of the time. Can you imagine how confused these bigots would be if they get their insanely invasive bullshit and the test comes back XXY?

G-7 in Space's avatar

It's dumb as dirt...

This is a results-driven decision

Oh nos! Can't have a decision driven by...results!

How dare they misrepresent the state's blatantly unconstitutional bullshit by saying how it is unconstitutional bullshit!

These people are fucking freaks.

Fine, but I insist on providing a sample by jacking off into a cup while they watch.

O! M! F! G! Note to self, Idaho is now the worst of all the worst 50 states possible. Full disclosure Pennsyltuckey sucked scissors *before* the "oh, I, a police-man/woman feel scared that's why I put 20 bullets into them" legislature passed. Fuck me!!!

Kinda O/T: I worked in a store where the toilets often overflowed because of too much TP and other products being flushed. One co-worker, a sweet summer child, wondered why we didn’t just put cameras in the stalls to monitor who was causing all the trouble.
