I'm sorry to all the trans people who live in Ohio and might visit here that have to deal with our shitty politicians.

From the article: The new law will require K-12 and college students at public and private schools to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex assigned at birth. It also bans multi-occupancy gender neutral restrooms and prevents transgender students from sharing overnight accommodations with peers of the same gender.

DeWine just another bigot. Represents America very well.

Realistically maybe just turn all male bathrooms as unisex.

They thought of that:

Such a farce.

I don't live in Ohio so I'm not one to talk, but like... why not protests? Are there protests and I'm just not aware? Like big fucking "make him afraid to leave his house" protests.

It just feels like bad right wing stuff keeps happening and everyone's like "ok".

But I'm just some dude living a sheltered life.
