#BathroomBills are unnecessary, cruel, and stupid: a thread...

The "purpose" of bathroom bills, according to supporters, is to protect children from being assaulted/kidnapped by #transgender people, right?

Sounds like a noble idea, right? Stay with me.

If I, a #cisgender woman, walk into a bathroom and assault/kidnap a child, would that be #illegal? Obviously yes, right?

If my husband, a cisgender man, walks into a bathroom and assaults/kidnaps a child, would that be illegal? Obviously yes, right?

So, now that we've established that it's illegal to assault/kidnap a child (or anyone, for that matter) regardless of your #gender, why do we need extra laws specifically for transgender people?

Why do we need to make it essentially double-illegal for a specific group?

For #TransDayofRemembrance I want to tell you a story.

Last Nov/Dec, I was homeless. @realDonaldTrump had just been elected. I was living in my car. I was cold. I was hungry. The pain from my chronic lower back issues was horribly bad, every moment of every day (1/x)
Sleeping in my car was making it worse. I could barely stand, let alone go grocery shopping or walk longer than about 10 min, w/o being totally wiped out for the next day or 2. I was receiving no medical treatment for being #trans, for my #AtrialFibrillation or my back pain (2/x)
I was unemployed, had no degree, didn't pass, and I was severely depressed.

Only a few ppl know this, but I think it's time to talk about it. I almost died last December. I didn't have much $, but I was doing research on the best methods to kill myself that'd be effective (3/x)
