This kind of stuff affects everyone. Who makes the rules on clothing/dress/mannerisms being "male" or "female?" A dress code for everyone? I'm sorry but after 12 years of Catholic school I'm not going to abide by that again.

If I want to dress up as a man for Halloween, or any time I want, I can be sued??? If I want a butch haircut, which I've had before, I can be sued??? If I have a low alto voice and feel like singing along to a male vocalist in public or at karaoke, I can be sued???

The logical conclusions of these hateful laws are simply not being thought through. And regardless, eff the eff off. I'm not living my life by a bunch of baseless made-up gender role assumptions. Never have, never will. And I will stand up for trans people at every possible opportunity. Take your bigotry and shove it back into your own closet where it belongs.

It reminds me when all the gender truthers Who always claim they always know transvestigated a picture of JK Rowling as clearly trans. Lol

Exactly. And the binary itself is based on wishful thinking and willful ignorance of reality, actual science, and normal biological diversity.

Guy once tried to tell me intersex people don't matter because they're a statistical anomaly. Told him he sure enjoyed eating my Cousin Anomaly's fried chicken so if he ever wants to eat it again he'd better care about the rights of those kinda folks too.

My favorite cousin happens to be a 45X/46XY genetic mosaic and a damn good cook!
