This bearded man puts on a dress and has the perfect attitude to the trans bathroom bills
When the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, the US took an incredible step forward. But with these bathroom bills targeting the trans community, it is two steps back in the name of equality.
But not everybody agrees with these horrific discriminatory laws like in North Carolina, the ‘religious freedom law’ in Mississippi and the law that will actually jail trans people for peeing in public bathrooms in Oxford, Alabama.
Jeremiah Traeger, who lives in Boulder, Colorado, took to Facebook to show how ridiculous the politicians who want to attack trans people who just want to pee.
He said: ‘This is me, an actual man in a dress (right now). I’m not a trans man or a trans woman, that is something different. I am a man. Not cause of what’s between my legs. Because I know myself. There’s a difference.
‘The argument seems to be that someone like me, a cis male, could more easily infiltrate a bathroom looking like this and assault a kid. Ok then, walk me through the steps. I think I’m missing something:
‘1. Wear a dress.
‘2. Walk into a women’s bathroom.
‘Then what? Don’t women’s restrooms have stalls? Wouldn’t I be a perv if I looked in them REGARDLESS of me being a man? If I was a pedo wouldn’t it be EASIER for me to stay in the men’s room? Isn’t assault ALREADY ILLEGAL?
‘I don’t understand how letting me into a certain bathroom makes it any easier. I’ve never seen anyone’s genitals in my bathroom visits, I doubt it’s any different in women’s bathrooms. If I’m doing something pervy or illegal, it’s going to be OBVIOUS and WRONG, regardless of how I was born. My genitalia and my clothing are a NON-FACTOR. If someone is peeping under the stalls, THE DRESS DOES NOTHING!
‘Here’s the difference: tonight I can take off the dress, put on some pants, and be myself tomorrow. I can use the bathroom of my identity without fear of assault. I have it super easy. For a trans woman she may have to live a lie every day if she doesn’t want to take that risk. They have to choose between dysphoria, depression, and anxiety or having an elevated risk of being murdered.
‘I am informed about this issue, and to me it’s settled and obvious. It’s not about safety and it never was. It’s about control and irrational fear. I care more about people and their safety than what’s between their legs.’
