I’ll never understand the stupidity of telling trans people which bathrooms to use. It’s freaking lunacy! Do people force their family members to only use certain bathrooms in their homes that align with their gender? NO! They don’t because only sick pedos go into bathrooms with the intent to do something disgusting regardless of their gender. Trans or not, people that use public restrooms are using them because they have to. No one wants to use a public restroom if they don’t have to so when will MAGA imbeciles get their fukin noses out of everyone’s goods?! Stupid fukin MAGA perverts use any excuse to be up strangers’ asses and in everyone’s private business. Literally

My love and respect for Luca and his journey. Thank you for this story. I believe that what everyone should focus on is kindness, love, acceptance, and respect for everyone. None of us are perfect. We are all trying our best to live our lives through this MAGA mess. I pray that all of us have the strength to follow our path and the empathy for others to follow their!

Too much kindness towards, and acceptance of, the ignorant haters may serve to encourage them to continue their evil ways.

This is a perfect example of what happens when you let people think a culture of fear and ignorance is somehow making America “great” again. More like MAHA, and I don’t mean healthy, I mean hateful. Not going back? We already have. This is pre civil war stupid. Maybe even Salem which trial stupid.

Exactly what we knew would happen. More violence. MAGA and the entire GOP should be the ones deported. At 11, my daughter came home from a weekend at her dad’s where he took her to a hateful fire and brimstone southern Baptist church. She came home and told me “all gay people are going to hell.” I had a long talk with her and she came to realize that couldn’t be true. I think us “daddy’s girls” often just believe everything they say, even if we don’t understand it. I was “raised Republican”, and simply went along with it because I didn’t follow politics until later in life. Until realizing what a grave mistake I’d made in 2016, a mistake that’s haunted me every day since. My political “education” began in 2017, and my first teacher was my daughter ☺️

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Baptist_Convention

The Southern Baptist “church” was exploited by plantation owners— slave owners — to control their servants. Hatred of “the other” was, and continues to be, elemental. The “people in charge” didn’t want the masses to direct hatred towards the masters, so they directed their followers to find faults among their peers.

Yes, it makes me so angry. How racist and homophobic and everything else this republican party is! I know because I have a lesbian daughter with a trans husband. I fight for rights every single day, and I will till the day of my death!

The funny thing is the way that the GOP acts and with their racism they’re just so ignorant it’s unbelievable. No one has ever knocked on my door and ever tried to convert me to become a trans person! They have every right to go to Walmart and buy their groceries and go to the movie theaters and do whatever they like!

They act like trans people are trying to convert America? That is crazy. I’ve never had anybody come knock on my front door and try to convert me to be trans.

I have went and support of my family to gay bars and had the best time of my life! And yes, I am completely straight! I got to enjoy the drug show and it was a blast! No one tried to convert me to be a drag queen!

To be honest, my daughter was just so thankful to have her mother that was willing to try to support her in her life decisions, and engage with her in her community.❤️❤️❤️

I have always made it clear if anybody has a problem because I have a lesbian daughter then they can write themselves off from my life because they are no longer a part of my life, family member friend or church member. I don’t care.

Happy Pride month, and please Lord protect our LGBTQ during this month that I fear they may be targeted. God, please help us save our United States!

I’ve worked with many trans people. And been close friends with my trans people. I really don’t care if the guy that wears a skirt and a full face of make up and heels, does his hair better than I could, is in the bathroom with me. SHE is welcome. I don’t feel threatened and it would be so fucking weird if she tried going into the men’s room. Why can’t they leave people alone? Mind their own damn business, shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. Nobody cares about their transphobic, racist, bigoted, hateful, oppressed gay emotions. Snowflakes..These cry babies whine and complain more than any people I’ve ever seen. These bigots need to go extinct. Trans is their “boogie man” to do atrocities to all people especially our trans folks. I promise to stand up for anyone being discriminated against for being themselves. I’ve done it before, don’t let me see this in person. I’m an ally, I won’t allow it. Take me with…

Honestly it doesn't matter who goes were it is a bathroom. What matters is how people behave. Maga has no business in any public bathroom if they are going to be opening doors demanding people prove how they pee. Everyone should respect people's privacy. Trans people are people they deserve their privacy. If they want to tell you their story they will. Otherwise go to the bathroom do your business and mind yours. My heart goes out to Luca and this story is just so sad and infuriating. It is just a simple thing to respect people and treat them the way you would want someone to treat someone you love. Empathy is a good thing.

They need to quit targeting Trans people. They just hate everyone who is not like them. I know numerous trans people and they are amazing, they don't deserve to be treated this way. They deserve respect and to be treated fairly. Thank you for your wisdom

Maybe the new Bathroom Rule for trans persons is to FIRST, CALL KRISTI NOEM, and get the go ahead! (I wish I knew her personal phone number ’cuz I’d have put it right here!)

I really think this all stems from the fact that there are so many rapists & pedophiles in the world that have people 'crazy' about the crossing genders because they are using their existence to commit their vile acts against children. With small children, we have to look out for them; we need to feel safe when using public restrooms. We have had the 'right to ask' taken away & it is being 'exploited'. There are trans people with confrontational attitudes that invoke a hostile attitude from people. IJS

MAGA men don’t have any emotional maturity. They are basically remain angry teens. Though they may have had parents, their parents were likely emotionally immature too.

This cultural psychosis can be seen with Trump and his cabinet picks. They simply can’t deal with the real world. That’s why we’ve seen Dan Bongino and Musk behave strangely on live TV. They need therapy to turn them into functioning Americans.

I guess the transphobes have taken a break from assaulting short-haired cis women for using the women's bathroom. Now, they're gonna go ahead and assault the people that THEY are forcing into the wrong bathroom. Idiots.

Born a woman and have put up with white people harassing and physically assaulting me in women's bathrooms all my life. This is specifically a white American cultural malfunction. These people are bullies and pedophiles - they will make up all kinds of wild excuses to get access to other people's genitals and to touch children. I am anti-MAGA for good reason.
