I hate to talk about something so extremely severe but I just need to say it. I know the whole “why is nobody talking about this” thing is annoying but I really am starting to feel like I’m going insane over the fact that Tennessee recently passed a law (PASSED IT, not suggested it, not considering it, it’s FINALIZED) stating that businesses have to put up a WARNING SIGN if they are supportive of transgender people. A public warning sign stating that they allow trans people to use their facilities. And I’ve seen almost basically mainstream acknowledgment of it at all, anywhere. Just other trans people expressing their fear and anger. Can we maybe acknowledge that for like, how deeply horrifying that actually is.

For people looking for more information, the Tennessee legislature passed two bills: The first is like the OP said and requires businesses to put signs up if they allow trans people to use their restrooms.

But the second allows students and teachers to sue schools that let trans kids use the restroom.

it’s so fucking terrible

I was following this on Twitter when people started posting the ridiculous signs that business began putting up (as forced to.)

At least some local official are using their positions of power against this truly disgusting situation.

Nashville DA won't enforce 'hate' bill requiring businesses to post signs for transgender bathroom access

New Tennessee law will require signs if public facilities allow transgender people to use them.
