    “we like having actual men in the women’s bathroom and assume they’re 99% not in here to perv, with the added benefit that they might physically assault trans women” is such a mask-off take

    I am proud to say I got a guy in a cowboy hat really mad yesterday by using the "women's bathroom" at a McDonald's. The bathrooms were a series of three lockable doors, leading to identical rooms, labelled: Men, Women, and Handicapped (their words, not mine). All three rooms had accessible toilets, their own sinks, and had vending machines for hygiene products.

    Double bonus funny points: he didn't even register my (FTM) son using the "men's bathroom" at the same time.

      Exactly.

      More (extremely transphobic) details:

      TIM stands for "trans-identified male", it's what TERFs call trans women and transfem people more generally, and also apparently cis woman Imane Khelif (I am become jonkler).

      There's a transmasc counterpart, TIF for "trans-identified female".

      I'm sure a huge part of the draw here is that Tim is a man's name while Tif (short for Tiffany) is a woman's name.

        It's more "They call us TERFs and we don't like it so we will make up an acronym for THEM and see how THEY like it!" It really is that petty. Also the trans denialism.

    I mean if terfs just want a safe female space for them exclusively, we can just round them all up in a room and drop a nuke on them. Problem solved😊

    Posy Parker beat em to this lmao. No original thought among terfs.

    Also reading this & forgetting wtf TIM means is liberating.

    to be real for a moment we should have no problem as a society just making bathrooms gender neutral and it wont be an issue but of course we arent ready for that yet as a society because cis-men and thats something they know fundamentally but somehow still cant admit it and want to blame it on trans women smdh
