Transphobia.

Republican introduces anti-transgender bathroom resolution at Capitol after first transgender woman elected to Congress

Ah yes, the Republicans care about what "real Americans" care about, such as the economy/crime/whatnot enshrining bigotry into law.

LOL (funny yet not funny)

...do you happen to be referring to the Russian eggs debacle, some time ago?

[bikergeek]

Some people have been blaming recent price inflation on Biden, and voted for Trump, thinking Trump was going to bring inflation under control. Eggs somehow became a symbol of price inflation.

[med_cat]

Ah, I see. I thought it might be the case

Just--it reminded me of the Russian egg story; perhaps you'd heard of it

[bikergeek]

There seems to be a story out there about massive price inflation of eggs in Russia, caused by their blyatzkrieg in Ukraine.

Other than that, the only Russian eggs I know anything about are by Fabergé.

[med_cat]

That was the story, yes, a while back, and there was an (untranslatable) sort-of joke about it

Ah yes :) There's the same sort of joke in a song called "Eggs of Faberge" by a Russian-American rock group

Oh, oh, your krieg-word there, it is complex, thank you.

[bikergeek]

You're welcome. It's far from original, I stole it from elsewhere online.

[med_cat]

Mhm, w. a Russian curseword worked in, no less :P

[med_cat]

Seriously.

Like, can we put in a couple of family restrooms and be done w. the restroom business?

First, Russian propagandists carry on about the reason for the war being (surprise!) a ban on all-gender bathrooms, etc., now this.

As you say--haven't we got more useful things to do, for a start?

*hugs*

Moreover! Family restrooms offer room for your wheelchair or your stroller or your service animal or your attendant: if you’re here, you’re family. Or even to supervise the swarm of little kids the people in charge want us (if we’re abled, white, cishet, and Christian) to have.

[med_cat]

Exactly!

[cmcmck]

I just KNEW someone would try this.

[full_metal_ox]

And the timing makes this the Fuck You Specifically (But The Collateral Damage Is A Bonus) Bill.

[cmcmck]

I've been around long enough to see various people throw us off the bus multiple times so nothing tha haters will do surprises me any more :o(

[magid]

In addition to the content of this bill being repulsive, this is NOT what our elected officials should be spending their time on.
(snarky brain sez: can we get Rs to spend all their time debating this horrible bill and no time for anything else? because that would be my only silver lining in this)

[sabotabby]

Gross.
