I hate this. It’s fucking deplorable. Let her pee wherever she feels comfortable peeing.

I mean he’s as valuable as an outhouse. So pissing all over Mike is a proper gender neutral bathroom

Makes me think McBride and supporters can afford to install luxury porta-potties very close to the places where she and the other representatives work. Sort of a malicious compliance by adding more gender neutral restrooms in response to the change.

There was no immediate reaction from most House Democrats, including leadership

Pathetic, and frankly her going along with it is not much better.

Just disappointed

Completely agree the silence of most House Democrats is shameful, but as for McBride, she isn’t giving them the reaction they wanted. This was intended to target her specifically and create a situation where they could point at her response and go “see, the radical transgender has infiltrated government and now he’s trying to invade the women’s restroom!!1!!!1!!11” Using her response to pivot to economic issues and call them out for trying to distract from the same takes some of the wind out of their sails. It would be different if this legislation wasn’t so blatantly targeted.

They’ll still try, but it will be harder for them to play the victim here.

The right to exist is worth fighting over and people should be pissed at her for surrendering on our behalf. Access to bathrooms is fucking important and her statement even manages to make that sound trivial.

All the 4d chess political maneuvers are a poor excuse, I remain disappointed.

Conversely, taking a stance on that single issue would rule her out of doing any other aspect of her job. You’re right, it’s important, but more can be achieved by going along with it. If anything, these transphobic fucks might get a reality check when they realise they’re sharing a bathroom with a fucking woman.

You’re right of course, but there’s a certain segment of the party that’s addicted to Losing With Dignity, and is afraid to fight for anything. They’ll go as far as to coach you on how brilliant it is to willingly give up your rights and retreat from public existence.

Agreed, but she is a politician, and that’s what politicians often do.

If the Dems ever regain majorities in the House and Senate, they should introduce bill(s) to install these in the Capitol:
