Christian nationalist North Carolina Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, currently the leading candidate for the GOP nomination for governor, launched an attack on transgender women years after the Tar Heel State’s last GOP governor cost the state millions – and possibly billions – of dollars, and cost him his political career over the very same issue.
“We’re going to defend women in this state,” vowed Robinson, according to WUNC, at a campaign stop earlier this month. “That means if you’re a man on Friday night, and all the sudden on Saturday, you feel like a woman, and you want to go in the women’s bathroom in the mall, you will be arrested — or whatever we got to do to you.”
“In campaign speeches in recent weeks,” WUNC added, “Robinson suggested that people who previously identified as male should be ‘arrested’ if they go in a women’s bathroom. Instead, he suggests they should ‘find a corner outside somewhere’ to relieve themselves.”
In a different campaign speech Robinson said, “if you are confused, find a corner outside somewhere to go. We’re not tearing society down because of this.”
Yes! I don’t know how these weirdos use the restroom, but I can’t ever recall seeing anyone’s private parts in there at all. Most people are their to do their business or maybe freshen up at the sink and leave. If these transphobes think it’s normal to be helicoptering your junk for all to see, then I say keep them out and let the trans people in.
It’s because Republican politicians are much more likely to be caught sexually assaulting someone in a women’s restroom than somebody pretending to be trans (because that has literally never happened in recorded history). So when they think of women’s restrooms, all they can think of is how much sexual assault they’d commit. Every accusation is a confession.
