#WeJustNeedToPee: Trans bathroom selfie campaign goes viral
Quote:
While mainstream transgender visibility may be at an all-time high, there is still a long way to go before individuals identifying across the transgender spectrum are treated as full citizens in America.
One of the most troubling issues on the forefront of cultural consciousness at the moment is access for transgender individuals to bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity. While bills impacting the transgender community's access to restrooms are not new, legislation that would reward students for reporting on classmates using what have ridiculously been termed "incorrect" bathrooms at their schools has cropped up in recent weeks.
In response to this, transgender people across the U.S. and Canada are sharing selfies on social media taken in single-sex bathrooms as an act of protest.

Because obviously someone who looks like this belongs in the men's restroom. #wejustneedtopee #TransLivesMatter
Honestly, all this ******** stems from the idea that trans people are just "people in wigs" when the fact of the matter is that most trans people go to extreme lengths to "pass" so that they can live a life free of judgement. Most of the time you're not even going to know if a trans person is in the bathroom with you and that's just a fact.
This bill is just hurting the trans people who unfortunately cannot "pass" no matter how hard they try and it's ********.
But HOW. Isn't peeing a function?
