Bathroom bills and other laws , discussion thread

[Mayo]

What I don't understand is why the media is targeting transwomen? I heard nothing about CD men

I honestly think there are two main issues involved here:
1) an aversion to nuance - many people (conservatives in particular) find it easier to view the world as black and white. Thinking about things that fall in between is a lot of effort and, in some cases, may threaten their world-view,
2) an element of homophobia that stems from a very narrow definition of masculinity and what it means to be male (see #1 above) - men fear being 'tricked' by a 'guy in a dress', which would make them 'gay'.

The general public doesn't and in my opinion do not want to under stand CD and TG people. That is my 2cents

Yep. See #1 above.

With all the REAL problems facing us these days, politicians who focus on bathroom bills instead of the REAL problems should be thrown out of office.

If you can gain the vote of an entire constituency by taking a stand on one issue, it may be worth it. Politicians are, after all, opportunists.
