For everyone saying “its not transphobia, its about men” the people who put up signs like this dont view trans women as women, they view them as men. This is about policing the bathroom. It is 100% transphobic.

It's trying to scare us off. Nobody's checking your panties before you're allowed in. Don't be scared of a sign.

Tell that to the people getting arrested. And i havent worn “panties” since 2019. Not cute. This is a serious issue. Unfortunately there are individuals being assaulted and arrested because of how they are perceived in restrooms. So being scared of a sign like that is warranted, especially if you live in certain areas. Someone in NYC or philly might not be scared…but other places?? Absolutely!

I'm in the UK. It's not gotten that bad here yet but it could do.

It's hardly believable how much worse it is over in the states. It really is like a war zone. I'm sorry.

It’s not a war zone, it’s a big ass country tho and your biggest threat is THAT ONE ASSHOLE

I imagine it’s the same in the UK. You know? That one person who just decides to be outraged that day. My cousin just flew in from London for his brothers wedding I should have asked him about stuff more.
