These are also the same people who think gun control laws don't work and shouldn't exist because they don't work.
Saker82
I was working night shift and going to school sometimes immediately after my shift.
So one day I was headed to class and I realized that I really needed to take a shit. So I go to the bathroom and sit down and that's when 2 guys walked in. Then they started talking. And upon hearing the octave and timber of their voices it was at that moment I realized, I'd fucked up.
Suffice to say I didn't get to take that shit and learned A) that bathroom bans are bullshit and B) how Shrodingers cat felt.

Also, if you ban bathroom use only criminals will use bathrooms…

I think that it is an evil plan to overcrowd women’s bathroom even more
TanithRosenbaum
I'm pretty sure conservatives know that. It's not about them actually making sense. The opposite. It's about them doing things that don't make sense for the sake of "sticking it to the libs", to show "we can do what we want with your life, we own you". The formal justifications are just that, formal justifications, pretense, so they don't have to say the quiet part out loud. That's also a mistake many on the left make, fighting against the pretense instead of fighting against the quiet part.

Right but that doesn't make a good comedy routine we can all laugh about, does it?
Akurei00
There are plenty that do know that and then there are plenty of followers who believe what they're told to believe by the former group.

Honestly I would rather have 2 piece bathrooms a toilet and a stink I'm not here for gossip I'm here to drop the Browns off so many places have gone to a single bathroom i think it was always which one we clean more often

Guarantee that everyone has shared a bathroom with a transgender person at some point and didn’t even realize it. Nothing bad happened.

I was at my conservative family's, and my drunk aunt hit me with "YEAH MY TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING TO ILLIGAL IMMIGRANTS SEX CHANGE OPERATIONS"
I.....didn't even know what to say, I just looked at her with a stunned face.
Do they think there's just a sex change machine at the borders? How....what......HUH?
Saigon333
I think the best reply to something like that is immediate derisive laughter. Act like you thought they just told a really funny and weird joke. If nothing else you can highlight how preposterous it sounds.

In the movie “Raising Cain”, John Lithgow is a murderer that spends half the time dressed as a woman. Psychological thriller, great film.

Same with Michael Caine in Dressed to Kill (1980). Fantastically done early 80's horror/thriller.

Never seen it and know nothing about it but honestly if I were trans I’d be feeling pretty murdery right about now too, what with all the general nonsense going on

As a trans guy, less murdery, more terrified.
SheepySleepySmuggler
But is that "generally murdery" or "I have a list where any name crossed off will make the world a better place... Not just a little better, A LOT BETTER and there are no redeeming qualities that would suggest this is a bad idea". Hypothetically of course.
CanadianLadyMoose
Little column A, a little column B…
PinkyTheUnicorn2
It is unfortunately a Hollywood trope to paint trans people as psychopaths and murderers. See Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, Raising Cain, etc.
Malcondrion
I was thinking this but it’s important to say that Jame Gumb (Bill) is not Trans. Lecter says so in his monologue profiling Bill to Starling. He hates himself and his identity because of the abuse he faced but failed multiple times trying to gender reassignment because he wasn’t actually Trans, he simply wanted to transform into something he didn’t hate. The book is even more explicit about this.
Saigon333
They actually go out of their way to explain something similar in 'Psycho', but the trope of trans people as envious predators/deceivers still was popularized (unwittingly) by these films because people are bad at media literacy and hate things that are different. The films didn't intend to spread this message, but they accomplished it regardless.
TeaOverdose
... and the ending of Ace Ventura.
RetailCat
Ace Ventura is why I can't watch a movie with Jim Carrey in it anymore.
Saigon333
It's such a good movie, and then you get to that ending and it's just... really gross and kind of heartbreaking.
Badprenup
Similar to what Malcondrion said regarding Silence of The Lambs, I find it hard to explicitly say Einhorn was trans. Obviously it's hugely insensitive to trans people based on all the framing of it, there's no denying that.
But there's no indication of Einhorn being trans in the plot or background details of the movie. If anything it's pretty explicitly the opposite. Finkle specifically assumed the identity of Einhorn for their revenge plot. But again, while they didn't explicitly make the 1/2
Badprenup
Villain trans, it's still a gross, unnecessary choice for the plot to make Finkle assume the identity of a woman just to make a "ha ha the girl is actually a boy that's yucky" joke. The movie would be more or less the same if Finkle just bleached his hair and was an arrogant, smug guy police detective.
Syko73
The truth is no one actually thinks that, its just a BS talking point for politicians to use to mask their bigotry.

It’s not murderers that will try to take advantage of the situation it’s perverts that can get away with it
bretlawson11042
Agreed! The only way to prevent perverts is to have someone check the genitals of everyone who enters a public bathroom. End perversion now!
CliffWestern
And what is stopping them now?
briham86
Yeah, just look at all the gay and bi people who perv on people in bathrooms. They have access to the bathrooms of the gender they are attracted to, and there's been a huge rash of peeping incidents. Why, I can't go the the bathroom without some gay man pulling out his phone and filming me, and I'm completely helpless to stop him because there are no laws banning homosexuals from bathrooms. Thankfully, these anti-trans laws, which only existed recently, have been tirelessly stopping trans
briham86
perverts for DECADES. Yep, the laws that didn't exist before the mid 2010's, have managed to stop creeps for decades, somehow. If only they could work on priests.
Saker82
I have come to realize that trans bathroom bans are veering into pre-crime thinking. Well, not so much veering as careening headlong into it.
CrusherOfCities
Honestly, the people writing the bans probably aren't as forward thinking as you give them credit for. They're likely just grandstanding and promoting discrimination for its own sake.
Saigon333
It's less about pre-crime and more about providing a pretext for ostracizing and abusing people. Conservatives can't ban trans people from existing yet, so instead they invent a boogeyman and pass a law that makes it harder and more dangerous for trans people to go out in public. Just chipping away at their ability to exist.

Pretty much every woman I know has been sexually assaulted, But not one of them has been assaulted by a drag queen or trans woman. If you want to go in the women's restroom, dress up like a janitor. You don't need to get a sex change

Christ, I have had this exact same conversation with extended family members (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc) in the South more times than I can count and they just don't get it. They are insistent that there is a HUGE "potential" problem out there just waiting to happen and the ONLY thing it will take to start an avalanche of assaults and murders in bathrooms is allowing transpeople to start using the one they identify with. The trans ban is the ONLY thing keeping it at bay. Fucking weird.
Tastesicle
I don't get it. IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU SHIT. Just take the fucking urinals out and have a poopin room I don't get it.
corndude101
It’s the same mentality that they have in respect to murder and rape. The only reason it doesn’t happen is because the Bible tells them not to.
When I said “So if the Bible didn’t tell you not to, you’d be murdering and raping people all the time?”
They were appalled by this question and thought it was absurd.
Lutki
I think it falls into the same category as people who think locks keep criminals out. I also like how keeping trans people out of bathrooms prevents crime, but laws that aim to stop gun crimes don't work because criminals will just get guns anyway, so which is it do laws stop criminals or not?
Imalwaysready
Sortof. But a lock can prevent many criminals. Dedicated ones can get around them, but crimes of opportunity avoid them. People walk through parking lots pulling on car door handles leaving the locked cars alone and waiting for one to be unlocked.
But the arguments against trans people is often that it will allow men to take MORE steps to commit a crime, dressing like women to sneak into women's bathrooms--as if those prone to doing such a thing don't just walk right in currently. It's weird.
jzbstl
They get it. They just don’t want to let go the excuse for their bigotry.
janeQdoe
Mmmmm, my parents hold this view and genuinely think that the criminal mind operates in this way because they've heard it on the news for decades (for break-ins, murder, robbery, rape, you name in)
InkGoat
These are the same people who keep saying that banning guns won't do anything because criminals don't obey laws...
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
Try showing them pics of trans guys like me, who are male passing with full beards. Tell them that passing these laws means we will be in the women's bathrooms instead. They like to completely forget trans men exist or assume we all are young "girls" in hoodies and baseball caps and therefore are fine in the women's bathrooms, when actually a lot of us would get arrested if we tried to use them.
Granted, it seems to ultimately come down to 'we just don't want trans people to exist' so I'm not
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
sure that this argument will actually do anything. Might make them think a tiny bit more about it though.
Forosnai
My experience is they just shut it down and accuse you of cherry picking, because they're CERTAIN they can tell most of the time. I tried. Also pointed out trans people weren't just invented in 2015, they've been in the bathroom with you the whole time, but nope. The only thing changed by progressive bathroom regulations is the excuses predators will try to get away with it, it doesn't manifest new ones.
chammey
A cis woman was murdered for using women's bathroom because she looked butch. This whole propaganda shit they push about "safer" bathrooms never made any sense, and they know it.
abion47
These are the same people who argue a gun ban won't stop "bad people" from being able to get ahold of guns.
FancyFeastAdvocate
I interpret it as projection. This is what they want to do to women if they were alone in a bathroom. So they think trans women are thinking like them (because they are "men") and are using their position to abuse.
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
Maybe for some, but I think it's an oversimplification. A lot of these people are *genuinely* afraid. They are scared of trans people and immigrants and black people. So much bigotry comes from fear and the desperation to cling to anything and any politician or preacher or leader who claims they can make them feel just a little bit safer.
That's why so much of Fox News and Conservative propaganda is based solely around fear-mongering, because these people will do anything to feel less scared.
Cthulhuonabike
Yeah what happened to "bans don't work"
delecti
And it's extra stupid, because nobody has ever checked my ID before I went for a piss. Trans people are going to use the bathroom they feel safer in regardless.
MissPhoenix56
See though, my ID says female anyway
delecti
Mine too, now, but it didn't always. I used female bathrooms before it did, and it's never been checked for that.
FoxyEllie
it's tough, too, because if you're out in public in gender-affirming outfit, but you're not fully confident you pass, what are you supposed to do? Go into the women's restroom and be afraid of getting clocked and arrested, or go into the men's room looking like a woman and be afraid of getting assaulted?
Imalwaysready
Even worse, I goaded one by asking "if men really are that dangerous, why do we allow more than one man in the men's room at one time?" He laughed and said that was ridiculous and men in men's rooms weren't the problem. I then asked if his wife had ever been assaulted in a bathroom, by a man or woman. He said "no, thankfully." So I asked if his son had ever been, because...he had. They stopped at a rest stop 15 years or so ago. Bathrooms were those standalone park style ones. His kid, maybe 10 >
Imalwaysready
at the time went in and a man popped out of a stall, grabbed him, and pulled him back into the stall and was trying to pull his pants down. Poor kid was too terrified to call out, but his dad happened to be near enough to the door to hear the initial commotion--much farther away and he wouldn't have. He went in, didn't see his kid at the urinals, then saw his feet in a stall...with another pair of feet. He ripped the door open, put one hand over his kid's shoulder to get his palm on his chest >
Imalwaysready
shoving the kid out of the stall just as his other fist was flying at the half-naked stranger's face. Beat him into unconsciousness. It was lucky he didn't do more severe damage or kill the guy. I thought he might attack me he got so pissed when I brought it up. He screamed "THAT GUY WAS A PERVERT! THAT'S WHO WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP OUT OF WOMEN'S RESTROOMS!" I just said "And if you think perverts are waiting for permission, you're crazy. They'll do it anyway. The harm here is to trans people."
Imalwaysready
We don't get along well. It's just weird to me that someone who has *actually had* a male relative assaulted by a male in a men's room has literally, absolutely nothing to say on laws to make men's rooms safer, but will screech to the high heavens about laws we need to keep trans people out of women's rooms.
SufiJiuJitsu
The problem with trying to make any good points with comedy is that you almost always have to sacrifice nuance and conveniently gloss over or oversimplify things for the laughs, understandably. It's not about changing a would-be murderer's intentions, but about making access more difficult and potential for trouble (of any form and severity, whether murder or peeping or whatever) by an ill-intentioned man less likely. Prevention is always better than cure. Just make single-person toilets anyway.
briham86
You know that laws don't manifest physical forms to stop criminals, right? They just say the government can punish someone after this occurs. We are already able to punish rapists and perverts. Bathroom bills just say we can now punish a transperson solely for being in a particular room. Is that a just law?
CliffWestern
Ok but how exactly does that prevention work? We can explain why making guns harder does that. How does this make anything harder? What is the mechanism that offers protection?
SufiJiuJitsu
Y'all also seem to have forgotten the whole internet's "wild bear vs man" thing. Congrats on making it easier for the one thing women don't want to be alone with, more likely to be alone with.
Spiderbutts
You're completely ignoring the point of this guy's joke. A sign on a door is not actually protecting us from harm. In addition: you are about 98% likely to be abused or assaulted by someone that knows you personally, or is a friend of the family. I was not sexually abused by a rando in a bathroom. I was abused by a family member. Predators are called that for a reason. They want easily accessible, low risk targets. A stranger in public is NONE of those things.
Xanducalrizian
Bathroom bills are what make this more likely to happen. They force trans men into women's bathrooms, which makes it easier for cis men to enter and then just claim "oh I'm following the law!" They also force trans women into men's bathrooms, which is partly why trans women have 4x the sexual assault risk of cis women. Bathroom bills hurt women and make them less safe.
CliffWestern
Speaking for women and intentionally misunderstanding the point. Cool.
Xanducalrizian
To clarify: you think the potential for being charged with misdemeanor trespassing "makes access more difficult" for someone intending to commit felony sexual assault/murder?
CrusherOfCities
People say that about restraining orders, too. No, no one out to murder someone is going to balk at the extra charge of violating a restraining order. What it does is allow the victim to call the police the moment they see that person sitting parked in the car across the street psyching themselves up or making a plan, and not have to wait til they're kicking at your door and attacking you. Or again with school policies not to allow random adults inside to wander the halls. 1/2
CrusherOfCities
2/2 I'm not arguing against or in favor of anything bathroom related here, but pretending that making a rule about being somewhere doesn't reduce the chances of a crime is generally wrong. No, it doesn't magically prevent attacks, but it definitely restricts planning, scouting, and laying in wait.
MKESewerRat
So, for example, someone could call the police the moment they see someone they think is in the "wrong" bathroom. Not because they *are* trespassing, but because the caller *assumes* they are trespassing.
CrusherOfCities
Yes, which would be a big problem and is why I didn't argue in favor of bathroom bills. I'm just pointing out that the argument "Someone wants to commit a violent crime, therefore any lesser laws won't stop them." shows up in many other places and is a bad argument there as well. Of the problems with making bathroom bills, that specific argument should be dropped in favor of others like yours.
