Do you support “trans” or are you a monster? New Good Law Project billboard campaign.

[Ereshkigalangcleg]

The reliably foolish Good Law Project have commissioned a new outdoor campaign, coming to a street near you.

Quilt carrying. It sounds so warm and unthreatening, doesn't it. But look closer and the slogans worn by the person featured on that page looking for volunteers are violent.
'Arm Trans Kids' and 'Your Death B4 My Detrans'. Lovely.

Some of us spend most of the day alone in the house. Some people are hundreds of times more likely to have a medical emergency at home than in a public toilet, and yet we don't force people to have a 10cm gap at the bottom of their front doors.

Oh come on. We do what we can for safety in a public place.

And still no answer?

Though Masha has time to resurrect a zombie thread to tell off more woman for thinking that men should not be allowed to legally buy sex off as many vulnerable, trafficked, addicted women as they want without consequences.

If you are a person who spends all day, every day at home, and your friends and family haven’t heard from you in some time, they will know where to start looking - the home you never leave.

If you leave the house on a regular basis, and have need to use public toilets, it is a really useful safety feature to have a gap so random other toilet users can see if you’ve collapsed. Unlike the poor man who died in the Edinburgh parliament floor-to-ceiling toilet, who wasn’t found for 6 days.

I tried to add a link. Trying again.

Now this ‘argument’ is truly insane.

Once I find my eyeballs at the back of my head, I need to go start work.

I have to admit the idea of the MtF TransRedditors undertaking a bit of needlepoint/quilt making was not on my radar.

That's an interesting point - people who spend most of the day alone in the house often have personal alarms in case they have a medical emergency, and leave housekeys with neighbours.

I've recently been advised to get a key lock box installed at the front of my house, and give the PIN code to the local police so I can be easily reached by the emergency services if necessary.

So you're right, a 10cm gap at the bottom of my front door is not necessary 😁there are other ways of staying safe at home, but that's not relevant to health and safety in public toilets.

Joylon's reference, in the apology, to "trans people, rights, spaces and joy" will have been drawn from the artist's blurb. If any further comment is made I reckon it will be along the lines of how the Cis-Approved® umbrella term "trans" is not dehumanising but expands the range of meaningful, solidarity-laden shared experience [insert additional bullshit here] etcetc

Not sure this person has ever picked up a needle. The slogans are all attached with safety pins.

The personal alarm company also tend to be key holders. Mine connects through to a call centre, they can activate the speaker on the main unit to assess the situation and send out help. Very useful when you are stuck halfway up the stairs on the stairlift because the start/stop button decided to spring out of the chair arm and throw itself to the bottom of the stairs.

I think it depends on the design. I work in a modern building (sometimes) with these loos and they are fine. They all have proper ventilation as purpose built. I’ve encountered the stinky version when retrofitted into an older building with shit ventilation.

The one that says “All body is horror, you might as well take HRT” makes me so sad. You get one body, and your body is the only way - via your senses - that you can experience the world. How awful to spend your whole life thinking it is a horror.

What better way to show their womanlyness than by doing womanly things?

"All young ladies are accomplished. They sing, they draw, they dance, speak French and German, cover screens and I know not what."

We are ladies we do ladies things

From the insta video, they are using a lot of cotton or poly cotton, with piecing, applique, and cheap acrylic paint. No quilting but at 86/96m it will get heavy and the paint will likely run if it rains.

A second apology may be needed on reddit if some of the artwork causes offence. Not sure the right to reclaim slurs is transferable to "the cis".

I keep reading Unity Quilt as Utility Quilt. Which sounds much more useful.

I had to look up '1312'. Apparently it's numeric code for the acronym ACAB - All Cops Are Bastards.

Doesn’t sound like it’s going to match some of the beautiful banners made by feminists.

Ah - sounds like you might be talking about your workplace bogs rather than public / publicly available ones?

We have full height at work and they are usually pleasant. Single sex though, with a handful of either sex ones, noticeably the "bogs of last resort" for both sexes. The bogs of last resort are noticeably ickier though. Men's piss smells different and gets into the hinges (this is direct experience, I used to be a cleaner).

But mixed sex bogs used by the public are nothing like as nice as ones used by men who know they are sharing spaces with colleagues. Think about the average standard of bog these days in coffee shops, petrol stations, quite a few bars.... women are definitely losing out by the introduction of male norms on this one!

I would rather be a little bit embarrassed that someone heard me fart because that also means they could also hear me cry for help.

I am not bothered others can see my feet. It means I can see which is occupied and if I am on my own in the toilets (as long as doors rest in the open position which they should for safety). Women subconsciously check out their surroundings all the time. It also means that when I walked into a set of toilets I saw a young girl that had stopped breathing straight away (she had choked on her own vomit). I have also walked into toilets and immediately seen two people in one cubicle, a woman and a child, and I could hear the conversation. Since sexual activity is illegal in toilets, a door gap prevents misuse, especially in the men’s toilets.

You may not think you know a person who has been saved by toilet design but you will. When a famous actress felt suddenly horrendously ill in a gym she went to a toilet cubicle. She was saved by another occupant who called 911 and they got her to hospital quick enough to save her from a brain aneurysm.

As for the home analogy it’s daft because it’s where a lot of people die (Bathrooms are the common place paramedics head to when they get into a house). You will also know a case this happened if you watch the news regularly. There’s another famous actor who died recently. His wife was found dead in the bathroom. There was lots of speculation about if she murdered him in a murder-suicide which was awful. I have been researching long enough to know that the most obvious scenario was that she felt ill and went to the bathroom and died. He then died a few days later as she cared for him (he had dementia) and nobody realised. And a while later they announced that’s what happened.

The tragedy is when people are dying in toilets in busy places (schools, stations, workplaces, hospitals etc) where there’s defibrillators nearby and people a few feet away from them and no one knows.

Maybe medical science could find away to take the brain out and put in a jar, like on StarTrek. 😂

I'm not all that bothered that transpeople are doing some crafting - as my late mother would say 'Ah sure, if it keeps them off the streets..' accompanied by an eye-roll😏

I'm sure they'll work out some way to carry it, like those enormous flags you see on marches.

I am bothered by any violent and offensive slogans they have embroidered needlepointed written with markers on it.

But most of all I am very bothered by the tasteless evoking of the Aids Quilt Project of the 1980s.
