"Idaho state officials told a federal judge they can test bathroom users to DNA if necessary to enforce a law segregating stalls by gender.

Idaho’s strict anti-trans law requires people to use public restrooms and changing facilities that correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. When attorneys for plaintiffs challenging the law noted that many transgender people have state-issued IDs reflecting their gender identity, U.S. District Judge Amanda Brailsford questioned how exactly the state would enforce the statute, according to the Idaho Capital Sun.

Idaho Solicitor General Michael Zarian told the judge enforcement should be straightforward “because there is DNA testing.” But that suggestion raises significant questions about privacy rights and what level of suspicion would be required before Idaho authorities could demand that someone submit to genetic testing — a tool more commonly associated with investigating serious crimes such as rape and murder."

Surely this won't have ANY unforseen repercussions.

This is transphobia, exorsexism, varsexism, and GNCphobia.

This will impact so many people. It will affect binary trans and nonbinary people, of course, but also, it will affect gender non-conforming folks, even if they're cisgender. It will force people to present in very specific ways if they wish to use public restrooms.

It will also impact intersex folks (specifically those with "mixed" or "null" characteristics) massively, whether they're cis, trans, cistrans, or neither.

DNA tests would not "prove" anything when it comes to a lot of different intersex variations. Some intersex people have bodies that "misalign" with their chromosomes, or they have chromosomes other than XX and XY.

Taking transness and enbyhood out of the picture, what bathroom is a an androgenized cis intersex woman meant to use? An estrogenized cis intersex man? Androestrogenized cis men and cis women?

This law forces TGD (trans & gender diverse) people to either detransition/conform or never use public bathrooms, and it forces "ambiguous" intersex people to either never use public bathrooms or to go through medical abuse (ie; forced hormone treatments, genital surgeries, etc) to "fix" their bodies enough to be allowed in.

Choose your gender

Have a sex drive

Support other people's right to have sex

Support other people's rights to talk about and/or depict sex and sexuality

Engage with art explicitly depicting and/or discussing sex and sexuality

Create art that explicitly depicts and/or discusses sex and sexuality

Beat someone to death with your bare hands in the dead of night

Grapple with what you've done as lights flash in the distance

Dig a shallow grave

As you lay the last shovel-full of dirt, catch the glint of metal in the corner of your eye

Rush toward the gun, eyes wild and shovel forgotten

Grapple less figuratively, fighting to get the upper hand, clawing with teeth and dirt-covered bloody nails

Kill a second person with your bare hands

You can fight ICE by annoying them

Mess up their food/drink orders- Lose their tickets/reservations

Overtighten lug nuts, strip spark plugs

Give them incorrect but real-sounding information

Record them with your phones

Disrupt them with loud noises (car alarms, music, banging metal) and bright lights (flashlights, headlights)

Shame them

(fuck yeah)

The fascists want complacency.

Do not give it to them.

(fuck them white supremacists )

actually remembering to make pride merch for once.. theyll be keychains once i have add a few more!

these are the plans so far-

*(that I have posted about on this blog & in no particular order)

this is allosexism.

why are we pitting aces and lesbians against each other? especially considering there are people who are ace AND lesbian?

what magical ace place are you in where asexuality is so well known for it to be headcanoned that often? because it sure as hell is not the mainstream.

"blame" is a very strange word to use with either lesbianism or asexuality.

the reason this happens is because a lack of interest in men isn't the defining feature of lesbianism, an interest in women is. if a female character shows no interested in men but doesn't show interest in women either, it's not that far-fetched to headcanon her as ace (or aro). she could be ace, a lesbian in denial or even wlnb, but you don't even see that as a valid option. assuming a lack of attraction to men from a woman can only mean lesbianism and suggesting anything else is wrong is allonormative. you very clearly still see allo as the default. and funnily enough these are usually the same people who will see a female character show interest in both women and men and still disregard her interest in men to insist she can't be anything but lesbian. it's almost like you keep shifting the goalpost to uphold your precious gay/straight orientation binary.

if you really found that magical place where everyone headcanons these characters as ace, how come you haven't found the people who headcanon them as ace lesbians? because i assure you they do exist. elsa from frozen is probably the most well-known example where many headcanon her as an ace lesbian, an aro lesbian or an aroace lesbian.
