also, I keep seeing sentiment like this



so...she would've been safer if she'd been allowed to use the boy's bathroom, among a bunch of guys who probably don't see her as fitting in there?

I mean I guess the fact she was beaten up implies this would be true, maybe it wouldn't have happened if she was using the boy's bathroom, but isn't that the opposite of what you'd expect?

"for safety, we need to let women use men's restrooms?"

They were non-binary, so either bathroom is "correct" depending on how they feel in the moment. And apparently we're supposed to believe that other girl students took it upon themselves to enforce state law with vigilante justice. Notice how every "report" has zero interest in why the girls did this, we're supposed to just presume it was trans hatred even though girls doing violence like that is highly atypical.

We're also supposed to believe that boys are going to complain about a girl in their bathroom rather than that these laws/policies are only targeted at trans girls in the girls bathroom for obvious reasons.
