We’re all gonna end up jailed as child sex abusers for using the bathroom
For those wondering, the bill passed but with an amendment that trans people would only be charged if they entered “with the purpose of sexual gratification”.
So, in other words, only if they have intent to commit a sex crime. However, there is needless to say a strong bias to view trans women as sexual predators that will put the odds against them to prove their innocence in court. And even if they are found innocent, the fact they’ve been tried for a sex crime will jeopardize their housing and employment prospects.
Even in its more toned-down form, it’s just another avenue for transphobes to make our lives a living hell.
You will see great sorrow, and in that sorrow you will be happy. This is my last message to you: in sorrow seek happiness. Work, work unceasingly. Remember my words, for although I shall talk with you again, not only my days but my hours are numbered.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
