#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?

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?

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)
