These two pictures lived rent free in my head. Zero is so hard to draw yet I managed to draw her to my satisfaction. My precious goth wife.

And there are outtakes because my WoL Kisshu is short and Zero is tall. I do love an height difference.

IT’S JOHN CEEEENNAAAAAAAAA

We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think

So I've hidden this reply, both because it's obnoxious and because I don't want the person who wrote it being harassed for it, but I need you to understand: I don't know you. We are not friends. This is not fun or cute, we are not sharing a charming joke together. You are just being an asshole.

literally that is what the post is about, I am saying people should be less eager to jump on any change to be snarky and rude to total strangers on the internet

The fact that people think it's a "straight line", that is, you setting up a desired response, rather than a genuine statement of frustration, really really underlines the point you're making here.

I understand what you mean but this kinda feels like you’re going to a clown convention then get upset when you encounter some clowns. Next time I recommend dropping a tone indicator.

I mean this sincerely and in absolute good faith: do you genuinely, in your heart of hearts, think that expecting everyone to memorize and use tone indicators is a more reasonable solution than just being polite to strangers as a matter of course

Comparing these insensitive idiots to clowns is an insult to actual clowns. There are conventions of courtesy and understandings of sensibility that are generally well trod and regarded as standard, but these people, contrarians and mean spirited wankers, have decided, no, I will not be nice as standard, I will shit on the pavement for my own entertainment

You are correct, I would like to apologize to the noble tradition of clowning.

We're all gonna end up jailed as child sex abusers for using the bathroom

For those wondering, the bill passed but with an amendment that trans people would only be charged if they entered "with the purpose of sexual gratification".

So, in other words, only if they have intent to commit a sex crime. However, there is needless to say a strong bias to view trans women as sexual predators that will put the odds against them to prove their innocence in court. And even if they are found innocent, the fact they've been tried for a sex crime will jeopardize their housing and employment prospects.

Even in its more toned-down form, it's just another avenue for transphobes to make our lives a living hell.

The vagueness of "for the purpose of sexual gratification" alarms me.

Transphobes already think we transition for sexual gratification and fetish/kink reasons. There's nothing stopping them from saying *every* trans woman who exists in public is doing so for sexual gratification.

So if a trans woman only exists in public as a form of sexual gratification, if she uses the restroom (notice they didn't specify *which* bathroom, this could be men's or women's) she is doing so for the purpose of sexual gratification. So it doesn't change the law even a little.

This was 100% a cop out for them. A way to show they "listened" to the outrage that outpoured over this while maintaining both the spirit and the intent of the law with some very vague weasel words.

Don't let them off the hook for that.

Spicy nuclear take but: this is why you should support human rights for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated registrants/sex offenders.

Because of shit like this.

It's already illegal to commit a sex crime in public bathrooms. All this bill does is make it easier to falsely convict trans people as sex offenders.

Which is the point.
