Comments on: How to Use a Public Restroom http://freepresshouston.com/how-to-use-a-public-restroom/ FREE PRESS HOUSTON IS NOT ANOTHER NEWSPAPER about arts and music but rather a newspaper put out by artists and musicians. We do not cover it, we are it.

(see link below); The “bathroom laws” are based in terrible and inaccurate assumptions borne out of a lack of knowledge and fear of trans people. It is clear folks in support of the unenforceable bills do not know any trans people or they would know trans people are just humans like the rest of us, and, by the way, incredibly private about their bodies. The bathroom has always been a very dangerous place for transpeople with verifiable stats on high rates of assault – ironically, it is the trans people that actually need to be more safe. Research has even demonstrated that stigmatizing regulations that reduce access to public facilities like restrooms INCREASE suicide rates among trans university students (rates of suicide attempts are already astronomically higher for trans people that non trans people). Knowing that bill do NOT increase safety and that such discrimination is actually life threateningly harmful – lets bring a little compassion to the discussion, and let everyone pee in private, behind a door, wash their hands and leave. Lastly – the daily wire is a highly biased right wing publication not an impartial news source — with more research you will find its claims unsupported. – Media matters is unaffiliated and has a real research department, for example.

They’re both stupid, illogical, and based around fearful emotions not grounded in reality.

It’s akin to letting felons own firearms or pedophiles living next to a school.

With or without these new laws sexual assault is still a crime so il not sure what your point is…
