http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/04/08/violent-right-wingers-threaten-to-murder-trans-people-for-using-the-bathroom-images/Of course, this means that violent, nutty right-wingers are up in arms, thinking there will be men in womens restrooms. One Facebook page, however, really takes the cake. American STRONG! posted this vile meme to their page, and the hate for transgender people poured in so fast it would make your head spin. Here is the meme:
Got fascism?

(78,249 posts)Stanford is in California. We do not put up with such nonsense. Sadly, there may well be trans faculty at UNC, Duke, etc. who are polishing up their CVs as we speak.

(65,616 posts)Such failures in life, talking about killing and murdering...when we all know they would piss all over themselves and call the cops if someone just looked at them wrong.

(6,644 posts)science apparently has not been taught in school in ages. Also they seemed to have missed history and current affairs. Did none of these people hear about Rene Richards and Christine Jorgenson??

I'm not a super model, but I have been called pretty before. That aside... despite being quite tall, my hands and feet are definitely small for my size (in particular hands). Compared hand size to a presumably cis student of mine who is about 7 inches shorter than me. Same size. My feet were bigger than hers, but again... for my size, very small feet for a man and about average sized for a woman.
Neck? Never had a bump there.
Face? Had surgery done on it.
So it's funny when they say "I'd beat you up if I caught you in the bathroom with my daughter!" like ok, but I transitioned just after high school. You can't tell.

(65,616 posts)I will say this, if I ever catch anyone beating up a man or a women next to/in a bathroom there will be hell to pay. Going to the bathroom should be a sanctuary for us to have our own personal time and nobody elses business. I for one would get extremely irate if someone actually tried and stop me from using the restroom.

(2,367 posts)could change DNA, most people wouldn't unless it was free/easy. It doesn't accomplish anything.
Also, so few people have been karotyped... if we did this there would now be a small, but not insignificant number of men with XX and women with XY who never knew otherwise. And of course this does not include people with a non-standard number of sex chromosomes, like XO, XXX, XXY, as well as chimeras/mosaics.
