Isn't Ben a good-looking guy? Did you know he was featured on the cover Men's Health magazine in Europe! Yup. But did you also know that Ben was born...A WOMAN!! This handsome, fit man you see here was not born with his manly bits, but they came to be part of him later in life. Why do I share about Ben? Because there is a bathroom bill currently set to be voted on in the Texas Senate that says that Ben here, should he visit our state, will need to use the ladies' room, because he wasn't born a man! That is, if he hasn't been able to get his birth certificate altered yet...which here in Texas, even if you have completed the required reassignment surgeries, is still quite a task to undertake.
When you see all the talk about bathroom bills, you think of someone like Ashley...seen here in a picture with a totally unsuspecting Governor of Texas, Gregg Abbott...
Many forget that transgender doesn't only go one way. How many people do you think will really feel comfortable seeing Ben walking in and out of the ladies' room? I'm going to say MANY people will flip their wigs the day that this happens! I've seen the arguments..."It's about women's privacy!"..."What about the safety of our children?" Please!!!! People like Ashley have been in stalls next to us natural-born women for years...decades even...and we never noticed and never cared!! Answer me this, how many headlines have you read about a woman being raped in a ladies' room by a man dressed as a woman? I don't recall any. Why? Because is it more likely that someone like Ashley here will get beat down in a men's room by homophobic men than it is for ANY man to rape a woman in a ladies' room!! The ladies' room is too public! Anyone can walk in at any time and catch you! Most rapes happen when women are...wait for it...ALONE! This is why we are told to go places in groups, because it is less likely a woman will be raped if there are witnesses...of course, unless her drink is spiked and it is a group of frat guys.
This was never an issue until someone realized that all this time, transgender women were in the ladies' room. Everyone lost their freakin' minds! Well, if this bill passes, let's see who loses their freakin' mind when Ben comes walking out of a ladies' room!
