too many taps to get to rejecting cookies so I’ll save you the click: Odessa, Texas is the city
I was about to ask, what’s with the privacy policy of that site? How can a website that focuses on an oppressed minority be so shitty about their personal data?
I’m not telling your community what to do, but this seems very unsafe und unwise to use.

I don’t want to post the “Da Fuck ya doing over there”-meme again. But what the hell.

FYI Texas has been marked as a “do not travel” state on Erin Reed’s trans risk map: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/final-pre-election-2024-anti-trans
I think that was inevitable unfortunately…
I’m in one of the worst states, I’m scared about where things are going …
I go through Oklahoma just to skip Texas when driving cross country. Oklahoma is preferable to Texas. Yeesh.
Oh, last time I saw only Florida had that dubious distinction. They’ve been busy. It’s infuriating what a shithole a large portion of this country has become.
I have a trans teenage cousin in Texas. We’re not close, but I worry. All I can really do is let him and his mom know I exist in a “safe” state and hope they reach out if they decide to leave.
I live in TX and see lots of trans people living their lives. It’s a much more purple area though, but we still have a lot of crazies
Yes, lots of trans people live in Texas and Florida, that’s exactly what is terrifying about these laws - there are real victims.
Fuck, I didn’t realize we have a blue book
Trans identity supersedes all law, or medical context, or any other bullshit justification for dehumanizing anyone experiencing any form of Gender Dysphoria.
You as a person reading this have value. Just by your very sentience you have worth. You are loved.
We will overcome this moment in our history eventually, we may not all live to see it happen but we will. I know that’s an atom of relief in a sea of pain. Don’t let this bullshit dim your shine.
I love each and every one of you.
I used to live in Odessa. It’s a shit hole. Glad to be out of there
Some of us remember the coed bathroom featured on the hit 90s show Ally McBeal. It seemed like a progressive but not so far fetched idea at the time. So WTF are we doing still arguing about this 25 years later? These bathroom nazis need to get a grip.
Agreed. I’ve never cared what the person who uses my bathroom at home has between their legs. Why should I care in a public bathroom?
The real answer. Skip the whole gender thing if it’s an issue. Certainly public restrooms being ungendered entirely won’t be a problem, who knows why we have it this way…
who knows why we have it this way…
The answer is sexism. When women started to enter the workforce there was concern that they would get “overwhelmed”, so gendered bathrooms were created to give them a space they could go to that feels like the home.
So were there no gendered bathrooms in public places before then as well?
No, bathrooms are a fairly modern invention that evolved from outhouses, which are gender neutral, or chamberpots, which are generally made specifically for one person. The invention of the modern bathroom with indoor plumbing came about in large, male only factories, and then a new environment, the restaraunt.
Any allies game to go to the mayor’s office and conduct a shit-in?
Can’t legally use a bathroom? Let’s go on the floor.
There should be a name for this. “The constituent letter” or “The Pelosi kiss” or maybe “The MAGA crayon.”
The Hidalgo swim
I can legally shit in any room. I even have a card somewhere licensing me to do so. My shits are the stankiest. I can’t make it to Odessa until 11/1 (i have an appointment today) but I will gladly drop a deuce directly in his office.
“PROVE, THAT YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE, TO BE FREE” They said, shitting on the floor
“Both sides are the same.”
Here is the names and photo of the Odessa city council.

I think it’s definitely worth observing the city hall restrooms in case they are using the one that doesn’t fit their gender so you can collect that bounty.
And remember, you don’t have to make sure, you know one when you see one.
Each and every one of those fuckers looks like they’re in a retail store about to demand to speak to someone’s manager.
Can someone explain what this headline was supposed to say? The grammar is… Confusing.
It has a typo, of should be on. $10,000 bounty on trans people’s heads.
I desperately need to get out of this state
While the bounty is set to a minimum of $10,000, there is no cap on how large the bounty can be.
Pop Quiz:
Which bathroom should he use?
Depends on the state.
Whichever he want to use. Period.
Just like everyone else.
As long as it’s not my stall, I don’t care
Pssshhhhh!!! Look at this bourgeoisie mother fucker over here, refusing to share their stall with others!
Selfish. Yes, that’s the word!
The common working man poops on the left half of the toilet, and a stranger from the streets poop on the right half! AND THEY BOTH HATE THE YANKEES!!!
Because fuck the Yankees. Can’t believe I have to cheer for the god damn Dodgers …
He can use mine
I’ve done things like this when people do the ‘trans women make “real” women feel uncomfortable in locker rooms’ argument.
“So you’re saying women would be more comfortable with that guy changing next to them?”
They don’t really have an argument against that part.
“Oh, she’s just a tomboy, the phase will pass.”
That’s OBVIOUSLY a Woman and should use my Daughter’s Bathroom!
The one with the toilet.
I’m gonna need to see his tits first. Duh.
A bounty on trans people? So I get paid by the state to catch 'em and turn 'em in so they can be issued their ‘up to $500 fine’? How cost ineffective.
Ah, it’s misinformation and done so poorly, in an attempt to dramatise, they used the wrong word.
So, the $10,000 is actually for lawsuits and can start there if anyone found guilty of the crime had also caused damages. That’s very normal for laws of people being somewhere they’ve been told not to be and damaging stuff. Like if I break the toilet seat I’m standing on while peering over the top of the cubicle to watch a girl pee.
It’s articles like this that do not help a cause at all.
https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/odessa-tx-just-put-10000-bounties
As far as I can see, the article doesn’t misrepresent this law. It says that anyone has standing to sue a trans person for using a gender-appropriate bathroom, and the damages of at least $10,000 would be awarded if the trans person lost the lawsuit. Normally, as I understand it, you wouldn’t have standing unless someone’s activity had probably harmed you, but by waiving this the door is open for the trans person’s use of a bathroom to be judged harmful in itself. So, a bounty on trans people.
This is in a similar legal realm as the abortion bounty. There are a lot of legal experts who claim that there is no standing, while the conservative judges have held that it is a harm against society at large. So any member of society has standing.
It’s a twisted and dangerous legal framework to establish. It’s already been used to attack the second amendment as well. It’s not good for any political side.
The 10k is the statuatory minimum and its paid from the person just trying to take a piss to the psychopath policing who can piss where who was not in any way damaged. It is not at all normal to pay random people out of the pockets of those breaking the law.
In this case it encourages bigots to attack trans people trying to pee by allowing them to legally rob them if they catch them.
Worse it encourages such attacks whichever bathroom they use. Dress like a girl use the womans room get attacked for using the wrong bathroom, use the mens room get attacked for being a woman in the means room.
Using the bounty as a method of enforcement exists because the law is deemed likely unlawful. It exists explicitly to stop a pre emptive lawsuit against the government to stop enforcement.
Are you willfully ignorant or do you not understand how Jim Crow laws work?
