Citing "genitalia discrimination," a transgender woman is suing the government to write regulation requiring the installation of urinals in women's bathrooms.
"I want to have the right to use the bathroom for the gender I identify with," said the woman who asked to go by the name Venus.
"It's really very simple. I may or may not go through with the operation. If I choose not to I shouldn't have to spent the rest of my life feeling like bathrooms can't be a safe space for me because I have to sit down when I could just whip it out and then be on my way."
Addressing concerns that it might make other women uncomfortable Venus continued, "Do handicapped parking spaces make them feel uncomfortable too? Sure, we all want the closer spot, but they have special circumstances that call on us to make their lives easier. I'm just saying some transgender women should have the same consideration. It wouldn't be that hard, just take out the tampon dispenser and put one there"
When asked why she couldn't just urinate while standing in one of the stalls Venus replied, "That's the type of transphobic bull***t I've been fighting against my entire life. If you got it, flaunt it. Don't put it in a cage, and don't make it wait in line at the club with all the other ladies waiting to use a stall. I just want to get in and out, because time is money and my drinks don't buy themselves. Drunk, imperceptive men do."
Attorneys for Transgender Humans United for Gender Silliness (THUGS) has taken on Venus's case pro bono. A source from the government speaking under condition of anonymity said the government would be willing to make the accommodation if there could be accompanying regulation that required one stall in the mens room to be for sitting only.
Uhh....it’s satire
If they are gonna use the blasted women’s room, SIT THE HELL DOWN!
Nothing is more disconcerting for a women than to be sitting down when something comes into the stall next and the feet point towards the toilet as you hear the sound of a “cow pissing on a flat rock” to use a country term. ( I have had the misfortune of being a stall over as some perv was standing in the stall next to me )
If you are going to USE THE FACILITIES, use them AS INTENDED!
Now if you are women using the men’s room, you are gonna have to set down too, but don’t worry some men and metro-sexuals are pee shy.
Seriously, if you don’t wanna be called sir, don’t come into my restroom and use it like a man.
If they are gonna be a “trap” don’t be a rusty crusty bear trap, at least put some effort into being a shiny good looking “trap”.
Add a transgender, ‘confused’ male to a women’s room with black women(my favorite) and THEN see what happens!
So just pee in the sink or the trashcan, I'm sure no one will mind.
“If I choose not to I shouldn’t have to spent the rest of my life feeling like bathrooms can’t be a safe space for me because I have to sit down when I could just whip it out and then be on my way.”
Just whip it ...
One day there was a flood in the woman's restroom (guess why? See the dispenser discussion above...) and I was sent in to mop up. The place was huge, bright, clean, had fresh flowers on the sink counter top, and there was a nice sofa. Later I asked my mom about it and she said "most restrooms have couches or chairs. Don't men's rooms have them?"
It should squat like it is supposed to. Wasn’t that the whole point about transgenders, that the standing position while urinating, is intimidating to those who MUST squat? And isn’t squatting a show of unity with all those who claim right to use restrooms marked with a figure wearing a skirt?
“Pointers and setters”, two different kinds of hunting dogs.
Maybe this dog won’t hunt.
Insanity. It needs to shut its pie hole.
Aw...you spoiled it! It was the T.H.U.G.S. that gave it away, right?
But remember, truth is always stranger than fiction. A normal healthy mind can only stretch the truth just so far to make a satirical point. Beyond that lies madness.
I assume (s)he has a urinal at home since standing at a toilet is “transphobic bull....”
Got me. I think a (satire) notice by the headline would be helpful...
LOL. I knew that one was coming when I saw the headline.
In Florida we have something called the potty parity law. I worked in a facility with four hundred men and a half dozen women. By law there has to be as many toilet stalls in the building for women as there are combined urinals and stalls for men. This led to an astonishingly small number of bathroom opportunities for men with much waiting in lines. This is because if they installed enough urinals for all the men then they would need to set aside a ridiculous amount of plumbing and floor space for a relatively tiny number of women.
This came about because the governor’s wife attended a football game and there were long lines for the women’s stalls and men were just peeing in a trough and there was no line. She used the men’s room, which caused a stir. She lobbied for and got the potty parity law which, in practice limits the bathroom space for men.
Back when we had state auto inspections another governor’s wife decided to take their car in for inspection. The inspectors were as rude and nasty to her as they were to everybody else. Two weeks later we no longer had auto inspections. The state actually fired all of them. It was a well-deserved firing.
I am a little annoyed that ordinary people can suffer at the hands of government but if you inconvenience a governor’s wife she can rearrange all of reality to suit her wims.
Label by chromosomes. XX or XY.
This s**t is gettin crazy! All that unnecessary expense to be incurred. Okay then, is the federal government going to subsidize all the extra construction and maintences cost?
If not, then why not, since the gov. is making them accomodate?
is this satire? I seriously cannot tell.
This is starting to sound like parody, although sadly, it’s not.
That didn't work out so well for PeeWee Herman.
