Im telling you right now, if a guy walks in there, Im going to beat the living piss out of him, state Sen. Neil Anderson (R) said on the state senate floor last Thursday as he was discussing the bill. He brought up how he would get violent if a guy went into the restroom at the same time that his 10-year-old daughter did.
So this is going to cause violence, and its going to cause violence from dads like me, he said, getting cheers.
I wouldnt want a single person in the state to read that record and think that anybody here would come after them if they would do something so mundane as to use the bathroom, a simple call of nature, out gay state Sen. Mike Simmons (D) said, calling for Andersons comments to be stricken.
LGBTQ+ organizations denounced Andersons comments.
The violent language like that used by the state senator gives license to transphobic actors to harm trans people, said the AIDS Foundation Chicago, Equality Illinois, and Pride Action Tank in a statement. Enough is enough.

(10,398 posts)If he got the shit kicked out of him by a trans woman? After all it is gender neutral and you did pick a fight. Oh wait...he's just another "masculine" conservative "alpha" male who would turtle the minute he got into a fight. These "men" really think they are fucking Rocky, but in reality, they are Glass Joe from Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

But of course that would require these dudes to share a bathroom with your daughter, Senator:
That's right, these are transmen, AFAB. Are you going to beat any of these guys up if he tries to use the bathroom that people like you think he should use? Please think this through carefully before answering.
