The form lets people reporting trans bathroom users submit up to 5 photos even though taking pictures in restrooms is illegal.
Texas’ virulently anti-trans attorney general, Ken Paxton (R), has launched a tip line that allows people to report on suspected trans people they believe are violating the state’s new bathroom ban.
In a statement announcing the tip line, Paxton said the Texas Women’s Privacy Act – which requires people in public buildings to use bathrooms based on sex assigned at birth – “was passed to ensure that women and girls in Texas are protected from mentally ill men wanting to violate their basic right to privacy.”
“It’s absolute insanity that action like this is even needed,” he claimed, “but unfortunately, in the day and age of radical leftism, it is.”
In reality, research has shown no evidence that allowing trans women access to single-sex spaces like bathrooms poses a safety risk to cisgender women.

And wouldn't you know it, mullvad has a Texas exit node. Lol.
Interesting, each form allows 512mb total of data upload.
I wonder how much storage their backend has, and whether they've properly put their database on a separate volume from their OS.
Only one way to find out....

DAMMIT! As a Mentally ill man I was in the MIDDLE of Spending HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Dollars to Change my Gender JUST so I can use the Same bathroom as GIRLS! But he's FOILED my Plan!

Wasn't one of the arguements made by ammosexuals about gun control was that we shouldn't have gun control cause criminals won't follow the law therefore was no point?
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 226d
Btw, that issue is a bit weird, because my long-standing (and rather obvious) view is that US conservatives are economically lax but socially repressive, while dems are the other way around — both corresponding to collectivist tendencies, but in different areas. Well, guns don't strictly fall into any one of those approaches, since you can't really allow having guns just for one's own enjoyment in the privacy of their home or at the nearest shooting range. Conservatives should forbid guns based on their restriction of individual expression, while dems should forbid guns according to the view that not everything that can be bought is beneficial toward other people. Or vice versa, conservatives allow guns based on economic laissez-faire, while dems allow them based on an individual's freedom to do as they wish with their own life.

Maralago face looks masculine.
There i said it.
I don't even know how.
Since it's pumped lips and lifted eye brows. But it makes the women look like they are men in drag but somehow super ugly.
(Cause drag queens are fabulous.)
I am totally on board for harassing conservative women with maralago or non-maralago face in the women's restroom.
I'll do my best to memorize the faces/names of local women from the heritage foundation, mothers for liberty group (or whatever they are called) and any other similar groups. Any woman wearing maga clothing (why do they advertise themselves?).
And I will 100% question them about their vagina or lack there of, while in the bathroom. I will demand to see it or threaten to call security or the police.
Let's see how they like that.
Since I'm white, short, and look and sound like a woman. I will use my pussy privilege and take on this responsibility. 😇 I promise to rise to the occasion and punish these bitches as best I can.
I've got a lot of feminist rage in me over all the b.s occurring and need an outlet. It's a win win for me personally.

From my understanding it happens because decades of injections have essentially ruined their face right? And they basically can't stop getting them because they would look like a monster. So the only solution is to keep getting injections on a regular basis. It's worse in people that started getting injections in their 20s because by the time they are 40 it's just unrecoverable.
I could be totally wrong if someone has a better explanation. But I don't think they are actually wanting to look like that. Its just "the best that can be done" at that point.
daannii@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 226d
Idk. I hear the injection stuff builds up and turns solid over time.
I mean. There is Botox. Which paralyzes the muscles. And then there is filler. Which is the stuff that builds up and stays in the face. Sometimes migrates around.

I think this number will be more than population of T people in Texas. Also some T people on estrogen looks enough feminine to not be suspected.

Even as someone who's only a year into transition, I get a LOT more stares in a men's room than I do a women's room (which is actually zero) at this point. I have a good friend who was already pretty femme pre-transition and if she's in a men's room, guys will absolutely turn around and check the sign. As much as people think they can instantly clock a trans person, it's far less the case than you might think, and a trans man going into a women's restroom is going to be a problem just as the opposite is true.
funksoulkitchen@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 226d
They know but it's not an argument being made in good faith.
Once people realize they effectively forcing men into women's washrooms by law, they'll try to stop 'vagina people' from wearing pants.
Cruelty is the point. Trans people are a small enough population and partially hidden so they are a great target as they aren't in a great position to defend themselves effectively.
