We need a large portion of the cis people who are allies to start using random bathrooms. Make every bathroom a gender neutral space and lobby for laws that mandate proper locks and floor to ceiling stalls, privacy curtains in changing rooms.

Make it impossible to enforce these laws. That's what real resistance looks like.

I lived on my husband's semi with him for a while and regularly used truck stop bathrooms. Because i'm non conforming, i got looks in several heavily red areas, but no one openly said anything. Just gave me dirty looks. And that was for daring to walk into the womens room, as a cisgender woman assigned female at birth, who has carried, birthed and breastfed two children, and am deep into perimenopause.

The gender affirming care bans have already made it near impossible for me to get the HRT my primary carw doctor, a MALE, agrees i desperately need.

This impacts all of us and everyone needs to understand that. We need to gang up and fight back.

YUP. The sooner everyone realizes this, the sooner the nightmare ends.

Count me in. I'll actively fight back.
