      It’s the logical conclusion of trying to prevent trans people into the rest rooms and changing areas that match their gender.

    A job that seems perfect for weaponized incompetence. Wave in anybody that doesn’t have a ZZ Top beard and collect paycheck.

    If I am ever forced to let someone inspect my genitals to use a bathroom, I will piss and shit while they do it.

      It’s sort of a lose-lose game, though. Submit to humiliation and you implicitly endorse it. Retaliate in any way and they get to justify their escalation to violence.

      The Genital Inspector is both the tip of the spear for these fascist sex pests and the cannon fodder for a front-line fight. Influencer culture rewards them for becoming a spectacle of martyrdom when outraged people push back. And the far-right legal branches sweep in behind them to crucify civilians who resist.

      If you look at the Israel-Palestine conflict, it functions in much the same way. Settlers roll up to a Palestinian neighborhood to cause trouble. IDF soldiers stand behind them, filming the scene. The settlers pick fights, break into homes and shops, tear down olive groves, and otherwise act like rotten little shits to everyone in the area. Anyone who confronts them gets jumped by the IDF or shot. Then the B-roll airs under the caption “Insane Palestinian Terrorist Attacks Humble Jewish Vagrant” and Israelis rally behind the settlers while Palestinians have to explain the slanted coverage and doctored media to an incredulous audience.

    How do I block PizzaCake comics from appearing in my feed? I don’t need any more basic USian political whining than I already get.

    so transfems are allowed post bottom surgery? is the men’s room also being inspected the same way, or is this also blatantly misogynistic?

      Many anti-trans laws are also blatantly misogynist yeah. You’ll notice the “we can always tell” crowd almost exclusively applies this to transfems. They basically pretend transmascs don’t exist.

        They also just don’t think about the fact that gay/lesbian people exist.

        “whew, good thing we got all the MALES out of WOMEN’S restrooms! Good thing there’s NO FEMALE PEOPLE AT ALL that could also be attracted to other women and want to perv on them too!” /s

        It’s never been about protecting women, it’s just an excuse to hate trans people because why not.

        We exist the second someone can criminalize our existence. If you’re out and piss in the men’s room, jail. If you follow the law and go into the women’s room while looking like a man, also jail!

      I don’t think any actual bathrooms have genital inspectors. its a cartoon making fun of the way some folks are about how to keep seperate bathrooms. my thing is we should just get rid of seperate bathrooms and have either individual ones or the floor to ceiling stall thing with a common sink area. Given they have the sinke over toilet thing that also reuse water I feel like that is the way to gowith micro bathrooms

    I’ll never understand how any women decide to willingly harass each other in the bathroom.

    The image of the sort of women who would liberally j’accuse their peers of being witches during the Salem Witch Trials without ever considering the future consequences for themselves comes to mind.
