    Almost all non-gender bathrooms I have ever seen are just single occupent restrooms. Would that be covered under the ban, or would their be more nuance than that?

      Single occupant bathrooms should be the norm everywhere. Visiting a country where they do that, after being used to the garbage arrangements we have in the US, was fantastic. It was one item on a list of a thousand that made me think “so this is what it looks like when a society values human dignity more than an extra hundred bucks in a millionaire’s pocket!”

    Perhaps I read too many stories where humans are past this kind of bigotry. I hope so much for such a time—some day. But living amidst the constant hate and bigotry… it hurts so much. It’s so very tiring.

      Sorry, but us hairless chimps will forever be scared of the other hairless chimps on the other side of the hill.

        Some perhaps. Not all. And not all to the same degree. It’s something we can work to move beyond. That ability is also human nature.

          Yeah, but us hairless chimps didn’t have the internet before. Our primate brains weren’t ready for weaponized misinformation in the palm of our hands.

          It’s probably going to get worse.

          At some point, you’re fighting evolution and lizard brains. Some people can overcome their prejudices, but expecting the world’s human population to be able to overcome that fight or flight response to strangers is probably not something achievable.

    This is really an awful wasteful thing to do. Especially on a day like that. It’s really disturbing how little empathy some people seem to hold. I fucking hate Americans (as an American) :c

    This isn’t just ignorant, it’s also a complete waste of taxpayer dollars and good will. Do something that matters, Johnson.

      “…it’s also a complete waste of taxpayer dollars and good will. Do something that matters…”

      TBF, I’m pretty sure he’s choosing to do this so he doesn’t have to do something that matters. Bread and circuses minus the bread.

      I challenge anyone reading this to point out a time Republicans did something that mattered (positively) at any point so far in the 21st century.

    Petty pathetic and normal for the GOP. Too bad they did not pass a Nazi bathroom ban but I guess to close to home.

    I wonder if there is some sort of health or building code Ms McBride can escalate to. Aren’t workplaces required to have restroom facilities? Maybe OSHA can close the Capitol as unsafe or something. Now that would be some headline

      Thought I heard on one if the news segments that there are unisex bathrooms around the building/campus, but I wonder how accessible they would be if they were in session and had a need.

        Good point, they would claim “she could use …., it’s not much more of a walk”, and endlessly bicker over what the threshold for too far is, missing the real point

    This is just a distraction and rage bait. Sarah McBride herself knows that. Best to ignore it and move on
