I know representation is important. But why do the Karen's get a disproportionate amount?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
The party of Identity politics.
People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don't really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people's lives more difficult for no reason.
Hurting people is the reason.
That's pretty rich coming from the party that supports people taking a dump on Capitol desks.
citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
You can expect this to be the template for when they want to pass anything.
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
That seems like the more reasonable answer
honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.
No no. I think it was the Stockholm airport, for example. Each private stall had a loo and sink and like 1/2 gaps at the bottom; perhaps in case of flooding. It was the private spa of airport bathrooms.
My family there says it's less about protecting people of different attributes from our own : they just can't be arsed to delineate when it makes no difference and costs more to maintain.
Mix the bathrooms, ensure individual privacy, and everybody still poops.
I was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn't walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.
Glad to see she’s really focused on fixing the economy.
Huh, will this give us CHEAPER EGGS? What about the BACON?
oh she's getting some pork, alright.
Don't worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don't want to touch you either.
You don't have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.
The patriot act says hi.
Along with like.... Half the shift from 2001-2005.
And if we keep going we will be here all day.
Enforced HOW?
Given that there will be only one openly trans member of Congress, you can assume any time she goes to the restroom some Republican will report on which bathroom she goes into.
Nobody is as concerned with other people's genitals as conservatives.
And they'll cite all the fines that shitgibbon from Georgia got for not wearing a mask and trying to bring guns into Congress as proof they can.
By vibe. If you’re passable you’re fine, if you don’t visibly match your gender presentation well enough, jail
