    Placing cops in front of a bathroom just because a trans woman said she would go wash her hands there should sound crazy to anyone. It’s sad that it’s apparently just normal now

      So the thing to do now is to announce where you’re going to wash your hands to the police and then just not show up.

      Putting people into jail for using a supposed wrong bathroom to wash hands is just ridiculous even without considering anything transgender.

      I would never be a cop, but even as a pig, I can’t imagine getting that assignment and not asking if that was really what the community needed from me that day. And a whole fucking group for one 20yo washing her hands? How embarrassing for them.

        The Nazis didn’t have a vast historical record that illustrates the dangers of dehumanizing and imprisoning groups of peoples, and violently smashing protests for fascism; what excuse do these American cops and ICE agents have? I have to conclude that those who participate want this.

        Should we be held to higher ethical standards than the Germans of the past? We have a greater awareness of past atrocities and a deeper understanding of their consequences, and contemporary societies are expected to adhere to more stringent ethical guidelines and uphold human rights
