He isn't helping ANYONE by doing this.
He isn't protecting ANYONE by doing this.
He is pretending to be morally righteous by telling a trans member of Congress that she has no right to use any toilet... basically that she isn't good enough to be in Congress at all.
BIGOT Johnson isn't good enough to be in Congress or to tell anyone else where they can piss or take a dump. We need to publicly trash this asshole until he apologizes publicly.

And he IS helping people by doing this.
He's emboldening bigots.

He's a male. Why does he care where women use the toilet?
I suspect most women in Congress don't want him or any of the known sex offenders in the shared ladies room, and that should be enforced.

I think it couldn't be more obvious, even if sk**** like Mace and Marge Traitor Green weren't the scumbags behind it.

(3,797 posts)I have a trans grandchild and this breaks my heart and pisses me off,too. Idiots like Johnson are creating a problem where there isn't one.
They are F'ing grownups for g'd's sake. The behavior of these two people Nancy Mace and St Mike Johnson, is cruel and utterly laden with self-righteousness.
I don't care what their Christian teachings tell them, they are wrong and they can go to hell for trying to dehumanize another person, Rep Sarah Mc Bride, because she is trans, and they are too narrow minded, and/or bigoted and intolerant to get it. They are sick, frightened tickets in my book, to make such a public stink.
Sorry for the rant

Theres more. He looks like Mr. Milquetoast, but is known as the architect of the January 6 insurrection.
And yes, he is one of those RWNJs who is utterly obsessed with other peoples genitals.
