An editor in Dallas shared a disturbing photo Monday of the transphobic bathroom signs currently in use at a local restaurant.
Dallas Morning News editor Dom DiFurio posted an image of the bathroom doors at Dodies Place Cajun Bar & Grill. The doors were decorated with photos of transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner, pre- and post-transition, to indicate the mens and womens rooms, respectively.
The womens room featured a Vanity Fair cover of Jenner and the mens room had an image of Jenner when she won the Olympic gold in the decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Games.
According to the restaurants Facebook account, the photos of Jenner have been in use since at least August:
DiFurio told the Daily Dot that the restaurant isnt seated in a progressive area and that he wouldnt consider it a particularly great place to be LGBTQ.
Using Jenners photographs in this way trivializes the internal struggle and gender dysphoria many transgender individuals face. Being transgender does not mean that someone was simply once one gender and is now another. Their emotional, psychological and physical experiences are far more complex than these bathroom doors could ever reflect.
Whats more, hate against the transgender community remains deep and widespread ― so much so that one study found that transgender adults were 14 times more likely to think about suicide and 22 times more likely to attempt suicide than the general public, according to United Press International.
HuffPost has reached out to Dodies Place for comment, and the restaurant indicated it is preparing a statement on the signs.
The two doors and especially the Halloween costume in this thread are LOL funny.
This brings up something I’ve noticed in the past year or two. Our side is having all the fun!
Liberals used to be funny. They were able to laugh at themselves and the world. Can you imagine a current day liberal listening to Richard Pryor, George Carlin, or “All in the Famly”?
The American Left has lost their collective sense of humor. It’s very off-putting and alienating to the typical consumer or voter to even communicate with the killjoy depression med popping lefist loons.
Even attempts to ridicule Trump on late night talk shows or SNL just aren’t all that funny. One late night talk show host had Hillary on the show. Jokes about her losing? Nope. Jokes about her rigging the primaries? Facing jail time? None of that. Instead, he had his female writing staff members write her love letters (letters of thanks - completely straight, not even intended to be funny) while Hillary listened and watched. The left has entered self-parody.
Look at the trolling 4chan “It’s Okay To Be White” campaign. Stated goal was to do something that innocuous just to watch the PC-nazi police freak out. It worked.
What happened to the funny liberals?
nope. that is funny as hell!
It’s only inappropriate to use the “Caitlyn” photo for the women’s restroom, because “Caitlyn” is still a man.
"Damn that water's cold."
"Yeah, and deep too!"
I think that’s great and I see nothing wrong with it. The left opened the door.
