Measure to ban trans Montana lawmaker Zooey Zephyr from women's bathroom fails

[Quiet Em]

A measure to bar Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the state’s first transgender legislator, from using the women’s restroom at the State Capitol failed to pass the House Rules Committee on Tuesday, with several Republicans voting against it.

“This particular action will have the effect of making people famous in the national news and will not contribute to the effective conduct of our business,” Bedey said before Tuesday’s vote. He added that restroom access wasn’t an issue for the female legislators he spoke with in the last legislative session.

I'm glad Bedey talked with women and realized that transgender women in the bathroom is not an issue with women. Because it's not. It has never been an issue.

1. For republicans, using the toilet is the basis for an entire culture.

Eons from now anthropologists will study it and wonder if the final collapse of our civilization is related to that.

11. Hmmm. Maybe this is why there is such emphasis on

bathrooms in the films of Stanley Kubrick? People actually do wonder about this.

2. Seriously, what does MAGA think people do in the bathroom?

9. Ask former Idaho Retrumplican Senator Larry "Wide-Stance" Craig

Retrumplicans ALWAYS project their deviant behavior on others. They can't even take a crap in a public restroom without fantasizing about sex.

They MUST pass laws to prevent "I am not gay" RETRUMPLICANS like Larry Craig from the "devil temptation" to play footsies with the guy in the next stall.

See Speaker Mike Johnson contracting with his son for porn management for another example of their inability to "keep it zipped".

But what is priceless is the excuse he offered to the policeman who arrested him.

Trying to explain why he was playing footsie with the man in the next cubicle in the airport toilet - he came up with this all-time classic. So fallacious that it sounds as if it came out directly of George Bush's mouth."I have a wide stance"

3. MAGA men looking for a hot button social issue to latch on to then making a mountain out of a molehill

.... then blowing that all out of proportions to reality - to crank up the hate toward the "OTHERS".

Fear,.. fear,... fear,...
Hate,... hate,... hate,...
Threat,... threat,.. threat,...
Violence,... violence,... violence,...
KILL,.... KILL,... KILL.

4. This one was pushed by a MAGA woman.

Unfortunately women are proving themselves to be as nasty minded as the men. Especially if it gets them in the news and the media is more than happy to oblige.

6. No,... you are correct,...

..... think Nancy Mace and her hysterical concerns about sharing a bathroom next door stall with a trans individual.

I was just thinking of the Fascist men who turned the screws on family planning and adamant about making abortion and any form of birth control illegal while pregnant women died out in hospital parking lots while bleeding out.

How "Christian" men pass laws to make women second class citizens are seek to strip these women of their Constitutional Rights. "Christian" Nationalists new legislative attacks will be centered around denying women the right to vote, like the good old days. This time around they may take a slightly differing approach,... women get to vote but they must do it through a male proxy. Such as a woman's father, brother, or spouse. The male guardian to who the woman is owned/subservient to places the woman's vote for her in addition to his own vote.

JD Vance has taken it one step further,... children, adolecents, and minors are Americans too and should be entitled to vote in elections. Since children are chattel and men are the biblical head of the household. Men of children should act as Guardian ad litem and place the votes in the names of their children for them

This is what is coming when the Tangerine Menace and his loyal band of "Christian" Nationalists & "Christian" Fascists assume control of our government come Jan. 21, 2025.

The hands of time will certainly be forced to go backwards. The social and economic changes of the last 100 years will be undone and disregarded, American Democracy will be dismantled and deconstructed, Fascism will be the new avant-garde fashion of the day.

7. there are plenty of women who support everything you've outlined here.

8. MAGA women are so PETTY. Mace, Marjie, Lauren, Marsha, Elise, etc.

They have venom running through their veins, NOT blood.

[Maru Kitteh]

10. NEVER been an issue! 8 year old boys that peep under the stalls is another story!

I wanna DECK women that bring their precious little boys in the bathroom that then proceed to start hanging their heads under the stalls. You want him in here? You keep the little creeper in the stall WITH YOU while you shit then. THERE’S YOUR GROOMING. Teaching zero respect. Grooming future rapists and incels who think women are there for their consumption.
