11. Exactly

Here's the worst part. We all know the people they are really targeting, they are targeting the people who obviously look trans. The people who are like my dear friend Erica who knew she was a women since she was a child, but spent her whole life coming to terms with it until she finally was able to live her life as herself when she was in her 50s. Erica is beautiful inside and out, but she will never pass as a woman to most of the public. Erica will never go back, she would sooner be killed than go back to living as something she isn't. And the price of that is steep, she has to constantly be vigilant as she's threatened and harassed by strangers on an almost daily basis. This is the type of person Republicans hae in mind to terrorize further. We all know there are trans people of both sexes out there who you wouldn't know in a million years were trans, those people will be able to use the bathroom of their choosing, but people like Erica will be targeted.

These people, whose lives are already frought with danger are going to face even moe danger and harassment. It's absolutely sickening to me that people want to make the lives of people, who are mostly just struggling to survive, even harder.
