Say NO: The Tennessee Bathroom Bill

transawareness:

TRIGGER WARNING!:  Rep. Richard Floyd had some lovely remarks about trans people and restroom uses and is hoping to get a bill through to force trans people to use the bathroom of their birth sex:

Floyd said earlier Thursday he introduced the bill after reading a news article about a Texas woman who said she was fired from Macy’s after stopping a male teen dressed as a woman from using a dressing room.

“It could happen here,” Floyd said. “I believe if I was standing at a dressing room and my wife or one of my daughters was in the dressing room and a man tried to go in there — I don’t care if he thinks he’s a woman and tries on clothes with them in there — I’d just try to stomp a mudhole in him and then stomp him dry.

“Don’t ask me to adjust to their perverted way of thinking and put my family at risk,” he said. “We cannot continue to let these people dominate how society acts and reacts. Now if somebody thinks he’s a woman and he’s a man and wants to try on women’s clothes, let them him take them into the men’s bathroom or dressing room.”

The bill would charge violators with a misdemeanor carrying a $50 fine.

Anybody wanna vote this man out of office?  While they withdrew the bill, apparently it is not entirely dead.  Click the link above to sign the petition and make sure this bill stays out.
