This is what people are saying on Fox News:
Jeanine: Whether he has his— thing or not, I don't want him in my bathroom. I don't want to think about him. I don't want to wash my hands near him.
I can’t properly convey how horrified I am by this grotesque bigotry. It is reminiscent of what I heard people say about Black people living in the south in the 1960s. And frankly, I don’t think anyone would have said this out loud on Fox News even a few months ago. Their evil is unleashed.
Jeanine: “Whether he has his— thing or not, I don't want him in my bathroom. I don't want to think about him. I don't want to wash my hands near him.”
Thing? Walkman? iPhone? Cup of coffee? Those are things. A thing is an object.
Nor is it what offends her: it’s not the penis that upsets her, it’s the person. She said so. To the point that she “owns” the bathroom (“my bathroom”)—this is next level hate speech. It’s privileged speech.
This is EXACTLY the same shit as the 60’s.
When you start legitimizing one form of discrimination, you legitimize all forms of discrimination.
If you can exclude a trans woman because one woman finds them icky, then you can exclude a Hispanic woman, a black woman, a Muslim woman, a Jewish woman, a Catholic woman, a liberal woman. There is no boundary.
