Utah’s Anti-Trans Bathroom Snitch Line Flooded by Trolls with Memes & Fake Reports
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 тра 2024
- Earlier this year Utah banned trans people from using bathrooms on local or state facilities that align with their gender identities. To enforce this draconian law, the state established a snitch line that allows anyone to submit violations they encounter. As soon as the snitch line went live, pro-LGBTQ+ people flooded it with memes and false reports about Republicans like Matt Gaetz and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. In this video we’ll dissect the law and look at some of the funniest “violations” people submitted.

Taxing the wealthy or public healthcare would be Government overreach, but chasing people out of state for daring to seek abortion or gender affirming care is perfectly OK.

As a Utah resident, I saw this story on the 6pm news last night and cackled. They've had over 10,000 false reports. So proud of decent Utahns for tanking this shitfest of a law.

How do they know they’re false though? Cause Utahns will report some ridiculous stuff.
As a Utah resident...VOTE THOSE IDIOTS OUT!
Oh yeah, and as long as the GQP continues passing these useless laws, decent Americans will keep on gleefully trolling and tanking them!
When I first started working 42 years ago we had an m->f trans person who used the women's room. I remember some people didn't like it, most didn't care, but exactly ZERO people thought it was an issue relevant to politics or law. We would have been confused by the suggestion that this is a vital function of government. In fact, I still am.
I'm old. I have undoubtedly used the restroom with some trans people and never knew about it. Their real problem now-a-days is that people do not mind their own business. Just flipping mind your own business.
Say it louder for those in the back!
That's so true. I'm not old but I truly believe that this was never a problem until people started to want it to be a problem. No one was being harmed by trans people using bathrooms, and no one cared. Now, no one is being harmed by trans people using bathrooms, but everyone cares. Why do people care? I just want to piss.
I mean... it's smoke and mirror tactic politicians use to try to get people to pay attention to bs policy instead of real one while they swamp it up. Do they actually believe these shit or care? No fucking way.

My friend had someone look through the crack in the stall door at her while she was peeing. When my friend rightfully exclaimed in shock and anger, the peeper defended herself by saying she was just checking for trans people. The crazy thing is that she was acting like her behavior was perfectly reasonable. How could anyone possibly think that spying on someone while they’re peeing is something that should happen in a civilized society.
Also, getting citizens to snitch on their neighbors to the government has always been the precursor of dictatorship.
Almost as if creepers will use any excuse to defend their behavior. Like saying they're women.

I have a complaint to make. For years since I was first out of diapers, I was forced to share a bathroom with both genders, Male and Female. Nothing could be done about it at all, until finally I moved out of HOME.

This must be sarcasm, there's no way someone could ever say this shit seriously.
@@MaferManzanaIt is obviously sarcasm
In the Netherlands I've seen many public restrooms go from single gender to both genders. It's just that easy to fix this issue 🤷 But I do have to add that we also don't have these ridiculous stalls with open spaces the US has. So a bathroom is actually a safe space here.
@Nathan_Bookwurm Honestly, the US bathroom problem could easily be fixed by making gender neutral bathrooms with fully enclosed bathroom stalls and less-janky locks.
Non unisex bathrooms are stupid to begin with. Bad behavior is not a gender issue, is an educational one. Segregation only enforces prejudices and conflict.
As a cis man myself, I honestly prefer to sit in stalls anyways... probably because of my PA and the issue of spraying
Fr, also it’s bad for parents with kids because if u have a dad with a daughter, where do they go??? (Assuming there’s no parent bathroom there) it sucks for everyone.
unisex bathrooms are a band-aid "solution". women have legitimate reasons not to want to share bathrooms with men (if you read the word men and think of trans women, that says more about you than it does about me)
I remember the case where a kid in elementary apparently had told staff something about his gender identity so he would be allowed into the girls bathroom.
He'd go to inappropriately touch a fellow student.
And of course, conservatives where like "see, this is all the fault of trans people!" Instead of asking, what the fuck were the parents doing for a kid that was still in elementary to know how to do that shit? Like, seriously, no one was questioning that the kid's upbringing and parents have to be seriously fucked for something like that to happen.
Literal scapegoating happening in front of my fucken eyes.
Don't remember the exact details of the story, apologies for that, I saw it in like 2021 and I may be misremembering some stuff, idk.
@@Nobody-zl3kk wow that is awful! I’ve never heard of this story, but that kid must’ve had something horrific going on at home to learn behavior like that. But it’s easier for the government to gain power when the people are divided and focused on each other instead of the ones pulling the strings.

What happens when a gay gentleman goes into the men's restroom or a lesbian goes into a ladies bathroom. Should we feel threatened? This is just another one of those laws that are designed to make the republican base feel better. Using the rest room isn't a choice it's a necessity. If you look into the facts sexual assaults rarely happen in bathrooms. Leave it up to republicans to create a problem that doesn't exist and then making a law for said problem.
I'm sure we've all used the bathroom in public while another member of the same sex is in there. I'm not asking guys if they're gay when I'm about to piss myself
Those are next if they are allowed to keep this up.
I’m honestly surprised we haven’t already returned to the “should the gays be allowed in the same restrooms, locker rooms, etc. as the straights” debate.
In my head canon for how that shit would happen, some manosphere influencer is going to point out that all these folks are talking about protecting women and girls, but boys get left out of the discussion. After that gets a little traction, someone like Matt Walsh will catch wind of it and go “You’re exactly right that these man haters don’t care about you all. Just see all the degenerate things “they” do [insert images from Folsom Street Fair].”
From there, the greater conservative media picks it up and hammers on it for two months straight. In that time, Republican politicians start weighing in with their concurrences that those darn evil, confused groomers (used synonymously with gay people because they can’t let a good panic die) can’t be allowed to be near little Tommy and Jimmy.
And then the legislation comes…
That used to be how some laws were written. They never come up with anything new.
It will probably come into fruition at some point. What would happen? Both would pee and hopefully wash their hands.
As a cis-man and father, I have had to go into women's bathroom on several occasions, as there were no nearby facilities for me to change my daughter's nappy.
Yes, there should be changing facilities in men's bathrooms too, but, I NEVER had a problem from women in those bathrooms.
It helped that my daughter was super cute, but... really!

@@zacanger congrats on figuring things out for yourself!
On a more serious note: I’ll forever feel grateful to the male-to-female transgender angel who came barrelling out of the ladies’ bathroom of a club when a man was harassing me whilst I was fleeing towards it. The men’s bathroom was quite a distance away. If she’d been using the bathroom dedicated to the gender she was assigned at birth, I’d have been in trouble.
That story about the woman in Vegas being mistaken for a trans man perfectly encapsulates why transphobia is dangerous and toxic to cis people; human beings aren't cookie cutter caricatures of sentience, but complicated beings with differing thoughts, feelings and identities, with uncountable ways of expressing those thoughts, feelings and identities. The worst part is, I'm willing to bet that the transphobic woman didn't even apologize for terrorizing someone completely inncoent of the crime she's so scared of.
I know my grandma, which I what point out is a lesbian, was technically born a woman and doesn't identify as a man. In fact the jeans and the polo she had on was from the women's section. However she doesn't wear a bra for comfort reasons, but you can still clearly tell she has breasts. She also wears her hair really short, to be fair she did have short haircuts growing up but now it's more out of a necessity of balding. However aw years back she was using the women's restroom at a Kmart when a woman ran out screaming there's a man in the bathroom! Basically security, store manager and a large group of men that were chopping at the bits to beat her up call Hershey is not welcome to use the women's restroom anymore, to leave the premises and if she comes back next time to use the men's restroom. Again she was born a woman and was told in Indiana to use the men's restroom.
Her brother, who is a conservative Pastor, told us when we brought it up on Facebook that she should have shown her license. This resulted in many stating that they may or would claim they thought it was a fake ID. Claiming they wouldn't want to look in the wrong or felt they knew what men and women looked like, especially in a state that had passed a religious reform law at the time.
He then goes on to claim it to my grandma's own faults and had she put on some makeup before she leaves the house, dressed more feminine, and wore a wig this wouldn't happen. Even though my grandma does have large Manish hands, much bigger than mine and my uncles, and she does have a big bowl of nose, which is a family trait. His solution is for her to put on makeup, wig and probably a dress on the off chance she needs to use the restroom.
Which came to our point what would happen if the wig fell off or something along those lines. Basically they would conceive she was a man just by the fact she had to wear a wig. And probably no amount of actual are you showing or birth certificate would probably prove otherwise. Because she looks like a man and she had to wear a wig therefore she's a Man. Basically the only thing that you could probably get away with was by showing her Regina, to avoid having my comment removed, and even then that may not work. However after that point he refused to talk with us on the subject matter anymore because we were just being ridiculous.

This makes me kind of hopeful. It shows that the average person, even in a conservative state like Utah is not as transphobic as the legislature expected them to be. No one wants to actually snitch on someone for using the bathroom.
This is the kind of law that dystopian writers would put in their societies to demonstrate just how awful that society is.
We should really look into making assaulting people in bathrooms illegal.

@@logansmall5148 elementary schools?
Assaulting people is already illegal. They're only doing this to hurt trans people.
Nonbinary person here, and can confirm that when I still called myself a tomboy for lack or better language I was regularly harassed by most of my female peers.
For not wearing make up. For cutting my hair short. For wearing big stompy boots. For wearing jeans. For wearing a skirt that wasn't new. For wearing a shirt that was new but was not feminine cut.
Every aspect of my behavior was under constant scrutiny for alignment with What Girl Was Supposed To Be, and I never fit it, so I was constantly interrogated as to why. Reporting that I hated being a girl, the response of shocked gasps and someone shouting out "OH MY GOD ARE YOU A TR*NNY???" in middle school was when I stopped humoring them at all. Explaining didn't give me understanding, they just shouted accusations and laughed while I desperately resisted the urge to cave their faces in before running away angry crying.
That's why they felt safe doing that to me. They knew if I reacted badly, *I'd* be the one in trouble. Not them for harassing me until I broke.
It would be another 15 years before I got away from the shouted accusations in my own head and realized yes, I am trans. And that's not a bad or shocking thing.

I'm an androgynous cis woman who is occasionally referred to as "sir" when I use public restrooms in Texas. Such laws are BS.
Yep, because no matter what transphobes say, this is fundamentally about degendering women who they think don’t look feminine enough, removing any sense of gender or personhood from them. Not “stopping men” they do not even treat trans women as men; if they did they’d be letting them do whatever they want. It’s dehumanization on the basis of not fitting the “right look” as a woman.

They do, but the news goes out of its way to only cover stories that generate the specific type of outrage they want to cultivate. I'd have to hunt down the figures again to be sure, but I've seen multiple times postings that women are more likely to be raped and assaulted in unisex bathrooms. It's almost as if we didn't separate men and women's private areas across all cultures for centuries for no good reason.
Because they don't want solutions, only outrage.
That's just as easy a route to zero public restrooms.

If you're reporting on the snitch line, try to make any fake reports *look as real as possible.*
That way they won't be screened as fake by just looking at them.
And thus resources further up the line with real physical investigators will be wasted.
I agree that that's a better strategy.
This *is* a good strategy, but just flooding the line with anime is already a strain on the system. Each according to their own abilities and time commitments, it's not worthless to report if you don't have the time to make it look believable.
Fake reports will have the effect of exhausting the people reading them. If the overwhelming majority are fake, that will build a habit of dismissing reports as fake quickly, in an effort to get through the sheer volume of them, which will make it more likely that genuine reports will be dismissed because they aren't paying enough attention to discern.
@user-pn4py6vr4n But they might use AI as an initial filter to remove the "This can't be real" ones.
That's something AI is good at.
They haven't deployed AI yet, but give them time. Some clever Republican operative will get the right prompts to make one work.
Already Republicans have been using AI to check the MAGA backgrounds of potential replacement govt workers for Project 2025.
No, make them very lengthy and look real all the way to the end, where something tells it's obviously fake. x100 time wastage and frustration for whoever who's vetting whether they are fake or real. Get generative AI to do something helpful by churning out unique long ass fake reports and then you add in something right at the end to reveal it's fake and piss them off.

No thanks Utah.
It's such a vile and small-minded bill. If a woman is being assaulted or harassed (by anyone of any gender) they can already call the police. Giving bigots a means by which they can persecute people they judge to be trans not only hurts trans people but also hurts cis women who are now perpetually in danger of being reported to the police because some random stranger decided they look trans. Absolutely abhorrent.
It's intentional. They don't care about protecting women. They care about pitting trans people and feminists against each other in order to politically weaken both.
"Divide and conquer" is a common strategy of the ruling class.
Yeah the worst thing about it is the "we can always tell" crowd can be fooled by someone tweeting "This is my trans brother" with a photo of Markiplier - implying he's AFAB - and they will rage their lazy acronyms across the comments.

I live in Utah. One of my daughter's best friends is trans. She is very feminine, presents 100% as a girl. According to this law, she now has to use the boys' bathroom and locker room. She's 14 years old! WTF.
Well the point of these regulations isn't actually to protect people. It's to scare trans people into not transitioning and forcing themselves into the strict gender role they were born into.
I worked for a school in Utah that had an all-gender bathroom, and it worked fine for us. The biggest issue with any of the bathrooms was the typical school bathroom stunts: skipping class, smoking, etc. I don't know why more schools can't just designate one of their many bathrooms to being an all-gender one. It's an easy solution, but they'd rather have people harassing each other for not looking like the right gender instead. One of our school board members has already harassed a teen girl online for not looking feminine enough. It's disgraceful.
@@fairywingsonrosesthat sounds like an a amazing idea that personally resonates with me because of how I was often mistaken for a girl in school before cutting my hair short. I’m happier with my hair now, but it still kinda feels like I only cut it because people kept harassing me.
@@greglynas52 I'm Agender AFAB and trying to figure out what I want to do with my hair. I cut it off at one point and got harrassed with "When are you going to let your hair grow back?" and "Why did you cut your hair? People are going to think you're a boy." etc
They want her to get assaulted, obviously
I witnessed a woman with a British accent loudly talking about trans people since at least 2018. I think it's suspicious she's so obsessed. I believe she may be deflecting from the fact that she is perhaps a trans person. I saw her (or perhaps him????) enter the woman's restroom. I questioned the person when they came out of the restroom, and she insisted she's a woman who wrote the Harry Potter series. I'm not buying it, so I submitted a complaint.
"She also said she was 'JK Rolling'? She is obviously just a perv trying to get in"
I love the implication here that the real Rowling is a trans ally, but she's somehow been replaced with a terf doppelganger
I am a female and I fart very loudly. I wish this was not true as it is rather embarassing.
Do not be embarrassed. I, a cisgender straight female, also can fart loudly and I stand (uh, fart) with you. Solidarity. 💥💨

On top of everything, they wasted tax payer dollars on this.
If it is to get in such paranoia, let's pass a bill to ban public bathrooms.
Or ban gendered bathrooms, have all bathrooms be gender neutral, can’t report someone for using bathroom if both men and women can use said bathroom

@@JT55AUtrans women are not afab, and "transwomen" is not one word it's two separate words, trans is just an adjective.
@mushroomkaiyoti111 I'm trans, and I'm in more danger if forced to use women's spaces. I'm a man to anyone with eyes and ears, and have been threatened for using the women's room bc it has more stalls.
Just like any other group, trans people are not a hive mind, and everyone should be able to use whatever space makes sense for them, based on their personal experience.
The ONLY thing I ever worried about in public bathrooms is how CLEAN the f**king Toilets are.
As a trans masc, I can assure you they don't want us in the women's bathroom either.
"I have been standing guard outside local public bathrooms since this law passed, as I believe it is my civic duty. I have calmly and non-confrontationally asked every so-called woman trying to enter to submit to a genital inspection, but not one of them has agreed. In my mind, this is absolute proof that they were indeed trans. Despite my obviously justified concerns about the safety of real women, they called the police and tried to claim that I had done something wrong. When officers arrived on the scene, I explained that I was only enforcing the law as a concerned citizen. However, the officers not only did not force the so-called women to comply with my simple request, but also allowed them to enter the bathroom without any proof of sex whatsoever. I have now been banned from every Wendy's in the county, and I have multiple harassment charges pending. I strongly suspect that the officers in question were also trans."

This wouldn’t even be a problem if the stalls in public restrooms actually had some damn privacy! Forget trans people, I’m tired of toddlers being able to scoot under the door into my stall while I’m trying to take a dump!
I have an ongoing medical issue related to a miscarriage that gave me high T and a beard. I'm very much a cis woman, but I got some static in certain places because of my appearance.

As a 6 foot, former athletic cis woman I have been getting this all my life. It started when I was bra shopping when I was 13 and got harassed out of the department for being a boy. This was 1983. When I was pregnant at 36 I got it. And now that I’m at the wonderful time of my life known as menopause I’m still getting it. I truly dislike all these antitrans laws. They make everyone’s life hell.
This just proves to me that we’re the best generation. I am so proud of every single activist who fought against these snitch lines.
LMAO
Mormon bishops in Utah are not mandatory reporters (not required to report any child abuse). But somehow it's me who's wrong for just wanting to pee.
Yeah go into the male bathroom since the female one has a que to get in.
that's because they don't care about children's safety, they only care about using them for political purposes, while facilitating child abuse.

How this law hasn't been found in violation of several federal laws and unconstitutional is beyound me.
The "We can always tell" crowd in a nutshell.
Anyone who has urinated in a public restroom has survived just fine urinating next to trans people since those people are just trying to survive the same situation. 🙄
me and my gf often urinate in the same public bathroom and her being trans doesnt bother me peeing in the slightest XD
My family had one bathroom until my parents added on when I was 11. I have two older brothers, a dad, and my mom had an in home daycare. Sometimes if I was in the bath one of my family members would need to use the bathroom and we put towels on the bathtub shower doors for privacy. My mom grew up in a small town in our state and they still had an outhouse for her, her five siblings, and her parents.
I honestly don’t care who pees next to me; as long as their stream doesn’t hit my shoes. 🏳️⚧️
Most people are not concerned with actual trans using the same restroom. They are more concerned with people who are not and just abusing it. You know, predators.
@@jengsci8268 but they're blaming trans people in the process, which is bullshit!
This is why I'm in the closet. Didn't even realize I was trans and had an option to be myself until a few years ago, as a full adult during the pandemic.... Even though I've been dreaming of being myself, and suffering my entire life, I didn't know it was an option. And living in the South, it's just not safe.

How about UTAH passes a law requiring all newly constructed buildings bathrooms to be single occupancy with no gender label on the door other than just "bathroom". Each should be equipped with a hand washing sink, 1 urinal, 1 toilet and a diaper changing station, tampon dispenser, a smoking detector and a gun shot detector.
As a former security professional, I have hundreds of stories about people not using the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity and none of those people were ever charged. It's very rare for anyone to want to hang out in a public bathroom, trans or otherwise.
Given the current furore over trans rights, I'd have thought most trans people would want to get in, do their business, and get out, asap, if nothing else than for their own safety.

Right on!!!!
The real question is why there are so few unisex toilets
So now if your Trans in Utah and need to use the bathroom you must first call in 3 false sightings just to take a crap. Ah, America.
The transphobic rise of fascism is not exclusive to the US, just look at the UK.
Or, just have some empathy for women who are rightly afraid of predatory men, and accept the minor inconvenience of pissing in the bathroom that corresponds to your genitals.
"The goal [of this law] is to be transphobic-and mission accomplished." This says it all.
This has turned out as well as we thought.
You might even say...it's turned into a shitshow.

They never consider trans men when they make these bills, which is ironic, because it creates the very 'problem' they think they're 'solving' when they pass these. But it just highlights how little they actually understand about anything.
If there is one thing that I get personally emotional about, it's the anti trans bigotry, especially coming from our government. My dad is a trans woman who came out almost 30 years ago. I can honestly say it wasn't always easy at first. We had our ups and downs, but through communication and education, I learned to see who she truly is. Today, we have a great parent to child relationship. We can talk on the phone for hours with just about anything. When our elected officials target the trans community, they are setting a tone for the public to do the same thing, which results in violence towards the trans community. They are human beings just like the rest of us trying to survive. We have far worse problems in this country and around the world than worrying about who is using what bathroom.
Glad to hear the relationship with your parent developed well. I get personally invested in situations of bigotry because one of myclose friends is a transwoman.
@kazikek2674 I'm glad to hear that. I hope you two have a great and long lasting friendship.
"They are human beings just like the rest of us trying to survive."
I hate this slimy lie so much. There are trans predators, and straight men who pretend to be trans to exploit rules/laws that let them get into women's private spaces. I'm sick of your fake compassion, because you want me to listen to you, and have sympathy for your side, but I'm not supposed to listen to or have sympathy for the other side. I've seen this over and over and over. Utter unwillingness to acknowledge that anyone in the trans community could be causing any of this backlash with their behavior. Utter unwllingness to acknowledge when predatory men exploit the rules/laws your side demands be put in place. Utter unwillingness to see when your side's actions cause unseen negative consequences. You just want us to view the people who disagree as bigots, and have a simplistic, rosy picture of the trans community as nothing but peaceful, innocent victims. Well fuck off. I don't disbelieve anything you said about your dad. I'm genuinely glad you have a great relationship with them. But I'm a white man, and if I tried to say that since my Grandpa was also white and male and never hurt anyone, that you should block your eyes and ears whenever a white man rapes or murders someone, you'd call that insanity. Same rules apply.
I want to make some public changes to my original comment. It has occurred to me how I used my language when I referred to her. She will either be called my parent or mom. It is my choice to do so. I will not put a timetable when she has been trans anymore. She has always been transgender. I just failed to see it before. Just because we are allies to the trans community doesn't mean we stop learning and growing with them.
@@josephmancuso9863 i'd have just edited your original comment
What about gender neutral bathrooms?
How will they know which door to creepily wait outside?
That's all they have to do
In Winnipeg (Canada), we have a place called The Forks, and they have standard high-capacity gendered restrooms, as well as 3 or 4 single-stalls rooms. It's really not that hard to accommodate. They're useful for families with small children to use too so dad doesn't have to bring daughter into the men's room or vice versa.
This is my thoughts as well.
Right what do single dads with daughters do?
A lot of Utah is blue, however because of the strength of Mormons, conservatives get into office. A lot of Mormons are also blue, but have embraced the MAGA ideology-which has divided mormons--which makes non-mormons really dislike mormons on record levels-
mormons on the blue side tend to eventually leave.. like me, my wife, 95% of our friend circle, two thirds of my siblings, all of my wife's siblings. The mormon leadership is too conservative and thus those that remain faithful tend to be red.
A lot of truly liberal Mormons just stop being Mormons altogether. There are many that embrace the "love the sinner, hate the sin" mindset, but they aren't true blue. They still hold their bigotry; they just do it with love, which isn't real love and doesn't count IMO.
Hello. I am LDS(Mormon). Utah has a strange problem(from what my Mom has told me) of having a LOT of the WORST people from our religion living here. It’s ironic
Tons of far right nutters that are not active in LDS church. And even those that are active Mormons are being seduced by the culture war instead of staying true to the gospel. The LDS Church is explicit about the establishment clause, yet 39% of Utah Mormons are Christian Nationalist.... That's from the GOP not from the LDS Church.

I honestly think they might be that stupid. Andrew Bailey didn’t even region-lock the MO website, so it got spammed from all around the world. And his comments upon taking the site down make it clear that he thinks the internet works the same way a phone line or a fax machine does. 😳
