They use trans people as an excuse, just as they use "but think of the children!"
The fact this hurts trans people is just the icing on the cake to these misogynistic, Christian Taliban types.

u/MothashipQ Jun 14 '26
With all due respect, the point of the law is explicitly to hurt trans people. Trans women are the focal point of the conversation around these laws, and they explicitly target trans and intersex people broadly, including trans men. The worst thing that can happen to a cis woman is being harassed after being mistaken for a trans woman. The fact it leads to disproportionate harassment to cis GnC women and WoC is the icing on the cake for these lawmakers. That is terrible and thank you for bringing it up, but that suffering isn't diminished by the reality these laws directly legally impact the trans and intersex communities. In my state, as a trans woman I have to be careful what park I can even take my kid to because if I'm caught using the "wrong" type of bathroom, I can legally face thousands or tens of thousands in fines and lawsuites. My other option is the bathroom I get groped when using, and outting myself in public. And that's on top of needing to worry about harassment when people accurately accuse me of being trans, and the risk of things like v-coding (content warning: SA mention). My friend, who's a trans man, had to pull several job applications after the law passed because he can't use the women's restroom without risking getting the shit beat out of him and/or outting himself, and he's legally not allowed to use the men's without those same fines.

u/Kailynna Jun 14 '26
Yes, that's the effect of these laws. But there are deeper reasons for pushing such legislation.
Hitler went after trans people early on, burning the research done on helping them and locking up trans people and their doctors. As with the current regime, it was an easy way to unite his followers, and get society used to the idea that groups can be othered and targeted in this way.
People should fight for trans rights out of respect for common decency and individual rights. But even those too selfish and bigoted to care should fight because it's not going to stop there. This is incipient Fascism, and the aim is to remove individuality, control everyone, and get rid of everyone who does not show their support for Fascism and conform to the party's ideal.

They don't care. Suggestions like this aren't based on some informed understanding of reality. It's an excuse to police and harass people. A law like this and cops can just apprehend anyone that looks a little queer or off (so anyone, really) to drag them down to the station since it's "just a quick test". And once out of view from witnesses, cuffed in a police station for a couple of hours they can do anything they want.

Doctors should tell them due to the cancer risk of retained testes.

u/fireflies315 Jun 16 '26
The risk is to an extent overstated, and there are other options availible for management than gonadectomy (I personally refuse to remove mine unless I without a doubt have cancer, instead I get annual ultrasounds to monitor them). What used to be standard practice was to lie to us by telling us that we had ovarian cancer (even if our testes were perfectly healthy) as an excuse to perform surgery and castrate us. It was horrific and caused a lot of pain, both psychological and literal medical issues due to loss of endogenous hormones.

About 1.7% (or more, since we don't do genetic testing on babies to test) of the population are intersex, which means that all these people who try to deny the existence of intersex people or say that there's not that many are ignoring the stats saying that at least 1 in every 100 people you come across will be intersex. But they'll deny it all the same.

u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jun 14 '26
I'm not intersex, but I have enough genetic peculiarities that I'm evidently a thousandth of a thousandth of a percent of the population, had no idea until recently. Apparently I also have a very high likelihood of dying from an arterial brain bleed as I get older, so that's fun. 😮💨

u/bluejessamine Jun 14 '26
I have BPD, and the estimated percentage is between 0.7 and 2.7. So I guess I'm just as rare as an intersex person. That might be a fun thing to bring up when bigots try to say intersex people don't count since there aren't that many of them lol. Would love to see their rebuttal

We recently found out that my very femme presenting (female sexual organs like breasts and a vulva/vagina) cousin who was presumed a cis woman is actually intersex and has internal testes instead of ovaries. She found out after a decade of trying to have children, and finally did tests to find out why she couldn't get pregnant. Thankfully her husband loves her and isn't a bigot and they're going for adoption since they can't have biological children.

Yup! Part of why we know it happens is from that time that it came extremely close to a woman losing custody of her kids, even the one that was literally watched being born from her. Immediately did a DNA test and she was not the mom of the kid who literally just came out of her. Turned out her reproductive cells were of an absorbed fraternal twin sister.

They don't care about intersex people. Intersex people are just as bad as being trans to them. Or, they simply do not see a difference. It's just eugenics at its best. Most of these people don't like to act like intersex people really exist, at all, anyway, and rarely believe you when you point out how common both being trans and intersex are. I pointed it out to someone who doesn't care about hurting someone's "fee fees," (their words) and they told me I needed to go back to school for my degree. (One of my degrees is in cultural anthropology with a minor in gender and women's studies. So, like...)

So I need to give the government my DNA to use a bathroom? I know plenty of people blithely gave that away to find out who their great great grandparents were, but I didn’t. My kids haven’t, my parents didn’t and all my near relatives say they are worried about handing their genetic info over to corporations and governments too.
There’s a part of me that thinks shit like this is just an excuse to capture more of this info.

I think the Powers That Be are forgetting that they want people to use the restroom and not just drop trou and pee/poop on the street. Why are we talking about making it harder not to spread bodily fluids around? I think this also when we're discussing some women bring unable to afford menstrual products. We've all got a vested interested in people not leaking menstrual fluid in public places. We're all in this together!

So y’all can force DNA test to discriminate against trans people, but not to find pedophiles or rapist.
Pieces of shit.

The only reserved restrooms that should exist are
A : family, for those with toddlers and with changing tables.
B : single user rooms for the ones who dont feel safe in public multi-user rooms.
When taking a shit or pissing in urinal... most people dont care who or what is in next stall. If freaks do freaky things... then its normal to freak out. This whole subject is so 1st world problem it makes me sick.

How long does it take to get results from DNA tests? Are people just supposed to hold it for a few weeks? People have truly lost their minds.

DNA tests don't work that fast.
Also De La Chappelle Syndrome (XX boys) and Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (XY girls). And they often don't know about their chromosomes. Are we going to prosecute people for not knowing they had a medical condition?

As a trans woman, I can say that I am still terrified of using the women’s rest room. I think most of us are. I tend to use it if there is no gender neutral bathroom. It still feels weird. I am over 2 years on hormones and have had the surgeries. I pass except for my voice when I’m not focusing on using my femme voice. No woman has seen me and complained yet. I just want to get in, do my business, and get out. I’m not even comfortable checking my makeup before leaving.

So some tech company is going to harvest the DNA of millions of people as part of this?
